http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u...5/IMAG0117.jpg http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u...5/IMAG0118.jpg J/k, but after seeing Kirkevil's thread on painting the valve covers I decided it's time to clean up my engine bay a little, especially since everyone was complaining about how dirty it was at the meet.:-? But I'd say the valve covers were pretty dirty.(Untouched on the left, partially prepped one on the right) http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u...5/IMAG0114.jpg And how they look currently... http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u.../IMAGE_119.jpg |

hmm the valvetrain on my t/a isnt noisey. and thats with many hard miles with me driving it lol. only time i had noise was when i broke a valvespring and it ran rough and the other was when i bent a pushrod lol. nice valvecovers btw
it definately wouldnt hurt to pull the pushrods. and they rockers get torqued to 22ftlbs |
Finished product....

i would paint the lid and lose the underhood stickers

Oh now I get it. Almost........ Wait not really. A stock cam peaks power a 5500 rpm. By 6000 rpm the car is making the same power which it is making at 4600 rpm. So what sense would it make to have a rev limiter set at 6200? The drop off in power is huge. So let me ask you why is your rev limiter set at 6200??? Or are you that bad of a driver :mrgreen: ???
|
my guess would be some nasty burnouts or crazy spinning off the line a few times in first when he first got the car :nod:

B. You might want to use a gear calculator, 4.10 + 26" tire + 6200 = 117 mph which you will not achieve with a bolt on car. C. I don't hide behind any username everything posted is under here. D. My daily driver on a street tire has run faster then your best on radials with skinnies. |
Oh boy, in for the drama/entertainment.
Lets go Vinnie! |

B.You are wrong about a bolt-on car not reaching 117, maybe you should actually race at the track instead of keyboard racing. C. I wasn't talking about on here, I was talking about your comments posted on a youtube video that was linked on here 2 months back. D. ****ing bring that dud down here and let's line em up. E. What part did you not get about getting the **** outta my thread? |
actually the fastest ttp's car went was 9.9x http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/single...r-goes-9s.html
im done, your car will never trap close to 117 bolt ons. |
