The Mexican Alt stand has an o-ring seal on the bottom....it's a nice upgrade and quite reasonable since most originals have fillers that are rusted out.

I've been running one for many years...it definitely helps with axle lift and wheel tuck in hard corners.
I added some longer studs in the case this past summer when I had my transmission diff replac ...

I've been running .062" deck for 8 years and 43,000 miles. It runs just fine.

Run .100 deck......you have the parts already. That will put you right at 8.8:1...if you can get 52 cc chambers.

Mmmmmmm...turbo..... Cool

Aren't you knocking on 250hp's door with your 1679 with one of those "crappy" 110 cams?

No...it's the crappier 100 cam......with 1.38 rockers....... ...

You just need the ring that goes on the PP fingers. I'm not sure if you can buy them separately or not but you could email Kennedy and check with them.

I put a 5/16ths line through the tunnel with some wire harness spiral wrap on it. It fit under the brace.

Right, ha!

It might seem expensive to some but a megasquirt or microsquirt for ignition only would be the best investment anyone could make for a long term spark solution.

1660 lbs is with me in it... Not many cars move without a driver..

The roll bar added 110 lbs. It used to be 1540 lbs with me in it.

My new trans has a long arm so I'm looking forward to that. Art do you have any idea what your car weighs? Would weight impact clutch holding much?

Copperhead disc should give a lot more holding power than a CB Super Disc.

Agreed with clone. Intercooler efficiency should be in the mid 90's and volumetric efficiency should be mid 80's (that will rise with rpm too).

A 1641 with 25 psi of boost makes 300 hp at 7000 rpm. That would need 33 lbs/min to make that.

Drive a 2000 or there abouts Chevy 5.3 or 6.0 liter pickup engine with some miles on it when it is first started cold.
My 2000 GMC has piston slap when cold for about 200 ft out the driveway.
