I have never been a big fan for IMRC delete for a DD, but am in the process of installing a fresh rebuilt engine and notice on the old one I am removing that the secondary intake valves look like s*** and the primary are as clean as a baby's butt. Could this be a sign that the IMRCs are not...

:banana: I bought a 96 mustang that I plan on converting to a drag car only to run brackets at the strip. Not looking to build a 5 second car or anything just a car that runs a good time. I have a corbra engine to go in and I know I will need a diffrent rear end because this car is not even a...
