Went to the track last night, I had a pretty good night. My best run was a 8.19 with a 1.77 60ft. on Nitto DRs. I only lost once due to bad traction. The deal with these tires is that you have to heat them up, stage and take off, cant let them cool off. I think I would have done much better with...
I noticed something that I didnt like after I installed the 2.7 upper and the re-burn. First it doesnt shift like I want to, I asked for firmer shifts. It shifts kind of slopy. I also noticed that when im doing like 65 and I step on it it kicks down but the gear doesnt go completly in until like...
In the future I would like to build a better bottom end. I would like to use a 8# lower and a 2# upper. I will use better rods. Now my Q is do I need to change to better pistons? Can I still use the stock pistons? I heard of broken rods put not on pistons.
I have one more question. This has put a big doubt in my mind. Everytime I check the s/c oil, a little bit of air comes out when I unscrew the plug. Is this normal?
I went to the local dismantlers and bought an elec. fan for $65. Its 18" 2 speed fan similar to the one JDM sells. The guy there told me it came out of a '95 Thunderbird 4.6L. How correct is he?
Im pretty sure some of you guys read my other post (oil), well I cleaned the trottle body and all the inside of the s/c intake with Gumout air intake and trottle body cleaner. I sprayed all the inside cleaned up the oil in there pretty good. After that I started up the L and a bunch of black...
I cleaned the trottle body today and noticed that with a breather cap on, oil is still going into the intake. So what I did since the breather cap releases the pressure inside the motor, I took off the pipe that goes from the driver side valve cover and plug up the inlets. As what I saw oil gets...
I have a friend at work that just bought a 03 Dodge Ram. He asked me about a chip for his Ram. I know superchip makes one but I told him that a custom tuned chip would be better. Do any of you guys know about a custom tuner for Dodge trucks? I told him to get a Ford but he didnt listen, I would...
Went K-mart today and found the RUSH Chronicles DVD/CD. I was listening to the CD in my L and I think I need a better system. What components are you guys using?
I have a JLP 5# lower pulley on my L, Ive been thinking of puting a 2# upper pulley. How safe would it be? My L is not a daily driver, I take it out for a cruise like every 2 weeks. I use 110 race fuel.
I changed the fuel filter and oil in my truck and now the service light is coming on. The truck runs fine (smoked an older Cobra the other day) what could be the problem?
Larry I know that your running long tubes with high flow cats. What muffler are you using? If I put long tubes with the stock muffler and no cats do you think it would be to loud?
I just put a JLP oil breather cap on my truck, JL told me via e-mail that I did not a chip re-burn for this mod. Is this true? What can happen if I dont do a re-burn.
Why are L parts so expensive? I just finished making my trac-bars today and all I paid was $21.95. Im planing on installing my own elec. fan which im pretty sure I can get at a junk yard in Mex. for less than $20. Had my gears Isntalled and the rear axle overhauled for $150. Why??
