Get some drag radials, or slicks, and see what your car does then. I'm still trying to figure out why only 109mph myself. Was that a full pull, or did you let off, or braking early toward the end? Putting down those numbers to the wheels should easily net you 114+mph traps. Even with a horrible...

Walking, yes. We were out for over 8 hours yesterday. I'm feeling it now.

On vacation having a good time. I was a little depressed on this pic. Looking at all of those names of soldiers that gave their lives in the Vietnam War just about made me cry. Those poor young men that cannot be here, but yet we are having a great time. Just looking at those names...

Ok, went to Leonards today. It was ok. When I saw the video about it they don't season the pork at all before they smoke, or sear it. And you can tell... the pork in the pulled pork sandwich was bland. It got its flavor from the sauce... which was a little too sweet. The slaw was on the sweet...

You don't have to completely fill the cylinders. Just put enough in so when you manually rotate the engine and bring the piston up the rope wedges itself between piston and head. Perform the valve stem seal replacement. Then lower the piston and slowly pull the nylon rope out of the cylinder. Be...

I think it's worth replacing valve springs on any 20+ year old car while you have access to it. You could buy a valve spring tester to check to see if your stock ones are still good, or take them to a machine shop and pay them to do it. Or you could just buy two boxes of these...

Oh, come on. You know I'm just kidding. I'm not going to get into it until I come back from vacation. I called my friend that has my engine hoist and he's going to bring it to me when I get back.

We'll have to look into Memphis BBQ Co as well. Thanks for the recommendations.

I just saw some vids on youtube about Corky's & others and I think that's where we're going to go. It looks damn good. That's the first time I've seen ribs done up that way. They put the dry rub on right before they serve them. I'm down.

Cool. Yeah, I heard it's mainly pork which is fine with me. I actually prefer pork ribs over brisket. My wife was looking at Drive in diner and dives show and they featured Leonard's BBQ. I saw how they put the slaw on it, and it looked good. It was weird that they didn't used any kind of rub or...

I did the Nylon rope myself. I just don't trust air. My luck the hose will burst and valves will drop. I did two cylinders at one time. Replacing seals is also a great time to check and adjust valve lash. Just measure before removing cams and make notation of which ones are out of spec. After...

I'm going on vacation next week and will be traveling through Memphis, Tn. I'm looking for some suggestions on where to eat some good Q. I want real good food. I'm not going to eat the building so please don't send me to some fancy shmancy place, unless they have damn good food. Thanks for any...

What are you talking about... all I have to do now it fill it with fluids and fire it up. Done!

Come on, it's not all that bad. Just need to pull the motor out and have it rebored for bigger pistons. That's all.

I'm running an ACT sprung 6 puck with stock PP. It doesn't chatter much, but the engagement too quick for me. I have to bring the RPM'S up more that usual to try to slip it smoothly. That 6 puck is not designed to be slipped, and will start to chatter if you try to slip it like a normal full...

It's no biggie guys. I'm looking at my options of getting this 7m back on the road. Trust me, if I had the money I would go 2j. I've told myself I would go LS if this 7m would go out. Unfortunately, I don't have the moola to do that either. I was looking into the LM7 (5.3), and doing a "budget"...

Can't afford that. Even if I could I'd dump that money into the Roadrunner instead. I really want to get that running.

Yeah, got me too.

That didn't take long. Something went wrong again. #2 cylinder is a goner. I noticed my car was missing the other day. I looked into it and found that #2 cylinder showed a lot of leakage past the piston. I don't know what could have went wrong. I only drive this car to bingo on Sundays, wash it...

Oh. Duct tape that shit homie! Do you have time to go get a second estimate? Or do you just want to get it done and over with?
