    Max Performance Mufflers?

    3" Dyno-Max Ultra-Flows for me with a full exh on the car. I always race through the full exh as I have never uncapped it. Flow Masters slowed my sons car down almost 2 tenths compared to spaced headers. Ron

    Turbo Action shifter vs others?

    Myself I use and like the B & M Pro Stick as its a simple shifter to use and I can easily shift into reverse with one hand. I am not a fan of ratchet shifters and the Pro Stick is a nice not to pricey easy to use shifter. Ron

    Actually I dont mention my eng size just say a Max Wedge clone. But I do have "426 Max Wedge " decals on the hood scoop as it just looks more normal then 493 Max Wedge. LoL. Take care , Ron

    Are 440 source roller rockers any good?

    I have heard many people say they are not good but I never ran them and never saw anyone have a problem with them. Thats about all I know about them though. Ron

    At what point do you feel the a stock brake setup is not enough ??

    I am only 65 but like all young men I thought nothing would bother me and I knelt on the concrete all the time working under dashes. I loved electrical work and did a ton of it at the Dodge dealer I worked at over the years and also did everything else including tranny's and all eng work. But...

    At what point do you feel the a stock brake setup is not enough ??

    Well the truth is I am cheap as I have no choice. After buying my wife out of my house when I got divorced in 2009 I got real bad joint problems with fibromylagia and my pain got so bad I could not work as an auto tech any more. And I basically live on pain meds today but it took me broke when I...

    At what point do you feel the a stock brake setup is not enough ??

    I still run the stock power drum brakes on my 63. I did go to a dual Master Cyl of course and it stops ok from 10.70's best at almost 125. And its 3700 lbs before I get in it. Ron

    What Will It Run?

    You are not doing bad at all as the 11.03 run with a 1.49 sixty is not a bad pass for 118 to 119 mph. You may want to see if you can find a little more hp in her as if you get to pulling 120 mph and more you should be in the 10's. My 493 in my 63 Sport Fury usually runs 124 to 125 mph. And my...

    PTC or Dynamic torque converter or?????

    I can say my son and I have gotten great performance with our Dynamin 9.5 converters. What I like alot about them is how they drive like a normal converter on the street yet work good at the track. My sons Dart was a mild 400 eng with Eddy RPM heads and the MP .557 cam. It ran a best of 11.42...

    Torque Converters, New or Used?

    Myself I would not buy a used converter unless its from someone I know well and trust and know the combo the converter is in. But I prefer new as its best to get a converter that right for your full combo and needs. Good luck , Ron

    PTC or Dynamic torque converter or?????

    I can understand why you went with PTC then if that happened to you. I will admit its been a few years since I bought a converter. But it does surprise me that Sean had an attitude as he was always very pleasant with me and treated me good. But it is true that some seem to get better service...

    PTC or Dynamic torque converter or?????

    I have had great cust service with Dynamic. And I only paid $595 for my 9.5 Dynamic which was the same price as the PTC converters back when I bought my last one around 2011. Sean gave me $100 dollars off since it was the third converter I had bought from them in a 8 year span. Gave me...

    Post your 10 second combo's

    I always tell everyone its a 440/493 but just never got around to changing the sig. Course I did try to make it look like a Max Wedge clone. The ones that really trick you is when they have a power adder and dont tell you. They can be much faster then we think. Ron

    Post your 10 second combo's

    I will also say my car was done on a very tight budget. I still use the stock gas tank and basically all stock suspension with SS springs and 90/10 shocks up front. No tubbing and the springs and not moved at all as a 30 x 9 tire fits fine in my stock wheelwell. The body is all stock as is...

    Post your 10 second combo's

    My 63 weighs 3725 with over half a tank of gas and me not in it. Its about 3900 lbs with me in it. Best et is 10.76 at 125 and I use a very stock 8-3/4. But its mostly street driven and I dont race it on the street. I have raced it once or twice a year since around 2010 and so far the 8-3/4...

    Which Carb for my set up

    Myself I like the Holley double pumper carbs. If money is tight just the basic 750 or 850 DP Holley will do a great job. You can spend more money and get the Holley HP carb or one of the other knock-off carbs like the Demon or Pro Form but it will cost more money and I can say my basic 850...

    Finally hit the 12's !!!

    Thats a great et for the mph. Congrats on getting in the 12's as I remember how happy I was when I ran my first 12. Oh I see now where you said you lifted which killed some mph. You still did good. Good luck going faster with it , Ron
