hahaha, so yeah, i changed my oil the other day. really easy and i get the satisfaction of doing it myself! i put in Castrol GTX 10W40.
So are you guys gonna tell me why my car smoked black that one night after racing?! hehe. also, what should be my next mod?! i have headers, straight pipe instead of cats, and basically that's it. i'm thinking get an o2 sensor and a/f gauge to monitor. then get a good fuel pump to put out more pressure so i won't run lean top end like i know i am. then maybe a lightened flywheel. then a 45 DCOE? am i going about gaining speed the right way?! thanks guys!!

This is OT but,

Do you have pics of your cold air intake?

Thanks,


PS don't forget about drag....an electric fan and pulleys can help some.....

JoshP

no, i don't have any pics but basically it's just a functional hood scoop (old mustang jet style) with a hole cut in the hood right above an open element air filter. not really a noticeable increase in power, but a bit better on the highway because of amount of air actually being forced in the engine compartment.

JoshP, sounds good. There's really not much else you can do apart from an engine swap or tearing your existing engine down for porting. Just make sure you get a good pressure regulator and gauge with the fuel pump and I'd look into a stronger clutch at the same time you do the flywheel.

And yayarx7, here's a pic of the cold air intake on my car. I didn't like the metal snorkel on the airbox so I replaced it with some moulded PVC pipe. I also had to cut out some of the sheet metal on the radiator support panel and move the overflow can up a little.

wow Revhed, that's a nice engine bay!! got any other pics? what are you mods?
thanks

REVHED
