The V8 Owners Forum -

Rpi yes dont seem to know much about anything ,waste of time.

I wouldnt go there you dont get much better than a holley and huffaker apart from this

Mate, did you have a top-hat block O-ringed as well then to match your heads?? Thought there might not be enough room?? V8D quoted me about 800 squids for top-hats which seems about the average price. They did, however, offer a very good package for a complete engine rebuild (using my bits) - does ...

my coil has been fitted there for 6 years and i have never had any problems it is an msd one though.

I would go for the five speed mate you will get much better economy if your bothered about that, i am past caring about mpg now but i used a 3.5 sd1 engine and 5 speed box when i first did mine and it was spot on with the standard gte axle.

my engine is a standard 3.9 block with arp studs only and is now 7 years old and i have never had any problems with it ,it also revs to 7300 rpm all the time.

Sounds like one is a cheater plate and the other is a powershot plate the cheater plate will flow more gas more than 200hp.

Sounds exactly the problem i had with mine ,like i mentioned previously the only thing that sorted the problem was to scrap the edelbrock and replace it with a holley 600dp hope you have better luck.

I used to use an edelbrock 500 a while back now and although it is an exellent carb for road use it could not cope with demands for racing it would lean out badly no matter what jetting it had , i changed to a holley 600 and problem solved.

Have you considered using a jag irs lsd ,very cheap to buy ,i have been using one for 9 years and not had any problems whatsoever ,even doing 1.4 60ft times, you will also have better road holding with it been independent suspension.

real steel have been in the process of making these heads for at least 4 or 5 years ,and they dont seem to be any further on ,also after speaking to them they are not really going to be a vast improvement to what is already available.

good to hear that , have you done anything to it since it was last out.

How are you chris is the kitten going to be out this year.

Not sure how to put pics on yet but i will try soon , steve i think i bought a huffaker off you a while back on ebay was it you ?

Best time last year 9.6 @ 139 at york dragway , will have to try and get down to avon or the pod this year.
