Mine should have run 14s, but I wasn't actually shooting for that when i put it together. I put this pressure plate in it, exactly as you see it, as an experiment. Stock v6/t1 pressure plate plus a...

I did 15.2@89 with a 2.16 60'. Thats a good et for street tires for sure.

Well, if you ever plan to boost it an in-cab fuel pressure gauge is worth the money anyway. I am "in the process" of robbing an in car fuel pressure gauge from one car to diagnose another one of mine...

I agree with Brent. Put a $36 automatic ecu from the junkyard in it until you can verify that nothing else is wrong. Obviously something else is wrong with the car and it has nothing to do with the...

Well, one thing about Holsets is they are not built crappily. They are attached to engines that are expected to last 300k+ in harsh conditions. The internal gate will function as well as it can as...

Stock cams + 7000 rpm = weeeeeeeee. :p

Is that still the one with the truly massive turbine housing? If its the later one that they downsized the housing i'd say its close enough!

Sounds like Brent called that one. Major bummer though. :(

I guess the easiest thing to do would be to have a spare valve cover and cut out a small section above a rocker (just pick the spot that looks like the least clearance) and then do some measurements...

What would be nice would be if someone measured the total height between the valve stem and the valve cover, and then measured the thickness of the aluminum part of the stock rocker so we would know...

Ew. Get it running and then get a better dd? :)

Ive had numerous occasions where my cars that sat had collapsed lifters with a dead miss and loud tick, and they would sit there and keep that miss forever at idle and it would never go away until...

PLEASE do, i want to see what those cams did to your powerband. :D

Yeah, it looks like if someone was doing a full package and putting together a set of heads for high rpm 'from the ground up' they could make those rockers work with higher valve tip height, narrower...

I, for one, was happy to learn that most parts stores sell an impact screwdriver set for less than $20.. and it comes with those massive bits. It really is the best answer, probably even the intended...

Well getting the car fixed is the most important thing and FD ratio is just me being picky in your thread! :p

For simplicity you'd be swapping out a whole trans rather than mixing and matching one together, and at that point the install of a 3.50 vs 3.85 is identical. :p

If you're drag racing why dont you fix it with a 3.77 or 3.85 trans? :)

As a current owner of a near-stock sohc neon, that one had significant mods. Mine takes friggin forever to hit 120 and probably wouldnt go much past it. My last lightly modded sohc neon seemed much...

The DRs probably did need some heat. But, i have never heard anything good about DRs on these cars so i havent paid much attention to techniques. You're still missing power somewhere with 86mph...

I had to beat down the tank flap on my dynasty. The guy at the exhaust shop didnt want to do it so i took the hammer and did it myself.

I also had to beat in the spare tire well a bit when i...

I think people only get upset when they think they are going to get a perfect fit at home with absolutely no exhaust-specific tools available to them.

I put a 3" shadow kit on my dynasty. That...

That's typical. I dont think there's such thing as a perfect bolt in exhaust when space is tight and price is low.

Yeah that one is pretty dang ugly!! lol

A manifold from a 99 caravan is different. It will bolt to the head just fine but the discharge flange is square with 4 bolt holes and a different kind of gasket so you'd have to get the other side...

You WILL in fact be pulling the bearing by the outer race and ruining it. So since it has to happen, dont let that slow you down. :)
