Those are good cams but they do have alot of lift. 11mm of lift and 274* of duration. They will give you room to "grow". Very close to Kelford 272s, which I LOVE, but more suited to 500hp+ cars.

You know Steve, that is really a good point 👉 I wonder myself......:hmm:

Kelford 264s or 272s Auto, use 264s, 5 speed, use a 272. Now, my son ran BC280s with stock springs and that car ran very well. My cams do use bigger springs but I think you could fudge and use the 264s with stock springs. Here you can find a nice list....so you can see that not all "272's" or...

That is not a bad price Jason. I think it's reasonable. My best buddy has his air compressor in its own room because of noise but this is another good reason why!

I added an old air hose to the secondary timer, and piped it thru my wall to the outside. Here are the basic components. I added quick connectors that aren't on the list.myTouchSmart Indoor/Outdoor Plug-In Digital Timer, One Grounded Outlet, Two Easy-to-Set Custom Daily On/Off Times, Weather...

I installed an auto drain on my newest compressor. My old tank got a hole rusted in the bottom. We welded it up and then brazed the weld and it holds, but if I would have had an auto drain, I wouldn't have had to buy a new one. I made my drain from Amazon components very economically. It comes...

Pump installed with the pickup screen welded on. We aren't giving it a chance to fail. My son notice the oil pan baffle was loose on 2 spot welds so he re-tacked them when he did the oil pump pickup. We have a "fancy" one piece oil pan gasket this time also. I pulled #3 rod cap off and looked at...

Well I am going with a Chevy BIG Block oil pump on the SB 400. After looking at "Origin of Manufacture" for the Melling M55HV, it is from......everyone can guess....................C H I N AThe new pump is a Melling M99HVS. It only came stock on a 1968 Z28 with the high revving 302. I have...

Well I got all of the trailer lights mounted, wired and tested. I am quite happy with the results and they will be beneficial for my son's and friends if they need to use the trailer, but most useful at the end of the night at the track, when we are loading up.and heading home! :thumb: Total...

2 of my 3 cars have remote tunes, as a reference, and they both worked out good.

If you have the money, the shop will be glad to take it. Remote tunes, when done as precisely as possible, are almost as good as a true dyno tune, depending on the tuner.

I see you were having adjustment issues. Are you setting the TPS while watching the ECMLink program for your voltage setting to see if it is changing (mine does, from .63 up to .65 when I have the car running)? Just saying a small change is "normal". A large change is not.

While I have been layed up with a burned hand, I could still work with some wires, so here is what I have been working on for the 20' dovetail trailer I use. Rear facing Loading Lights! :thumb: Believe me, they will be handy. I seem to always be loading up at MIDNIGHT or LATE at the track since...

This is what I use myself for all to know. Shhhh, it's super secret, secret squirrels :shhh:ROFL And I don't use washers. Just get them tight, when the TPS is in spec, but don't over tighten! Don't want to break the TPS housing.

I have used these, from Fasenal, with no failures yet. But only if I didn't have the proper hardware. They are on the Auto car IIRC.

Well, the Wilson herd of "animals" had a failure that my son and I have finally found. I have never seen this on an old SBC with a Melling High Volume pump (or ANY DOMESTIC PUMP for that matter). He was on his way home from town at cruising speed, about 55, and the oil pressure took a dump and...

I'm trying to hold them closed with Kiggly Race Spring/retainers. Thank you for the reply. I run mine 9200 also.

Good to hear. How far does it Rev comfortably? My fresh motor has Kelford 280R's, similar to S3's so just inquiring? Thanks, good info!

Hey all, even tho I'm bandaged up, I'm still doing things that need done. My 20' dovetail trailer is getting front loading lights and a set of magnetic mountable rear loading lights, both on toggles on my trailer. All LED's. All 7" Spot/Floods for when we leave the track or anytime I need...

I run a B&M cooler and never had any issues. I'm not at home right now or I'd get you a picture and some size measurements Curt. Hayden is another brand that I have personally used.

Thanks guys! Appreciate the concern ❤️

I don't use the public side so I can't honestly say. Sorry. Maybe media mail rate, but that can only be a book or some form of media only. Just trying to be helpful :)

I did that when I lived at home and had a storm come in that took out the electricity so we lit oil lamps and candles. When the storm passed, we went about our day but there was a smoke plume in the main room. I searched and found the fire, took all the lit stuff outside then knocked the sheet...

Bring the motor up to temp while logging then rap on the engine block with a wrench (simulate knock) and see if it registers on the log. Pretty easy (if you can get to a good area to tap on). Just one way.

That 8 leg twin will shift like butter at 9k, or mine was. Just adding to the thread not suggesting.

Priority Mail starts at $9.85 for a envelope, $10.40 for the Small FR Box. I gave you guys the best rate you can get, just like I do my customers. :thumb: If you do it from home, I believe you get a discount but I've never used it myself. Just the services I offer all of my people at my window.

Yes you would. Click N Ship should allow a label to be printed. Guess the weight at under 8 oz and send it. It should have a tracking number also. You can also put in for a package pickup by your mail carrier. I get them and our carrier picks them up on her route.

Well.....I was doing "maintenance" around the house and found several air leaks around my electrical box and my washing machine plumbing so I grabbed a can of triple expanding insta-foam and went to work.Now in this instance, I have to say READ THE DIRECTIONS...... My electrical box sealing...

Grab any padded envelope. Cut a PC of cardboard big enuf to fold over the spacer and fit inside of the envelope. It will be processed as Non-Machineable so it will ship as a Ground Advantage (replaced 1st class) package and should have a tracking number. Put a shipping label INSIDE of the...

1/4" max thickness for letter rates, just FYI. ;)

If I may add one thing to this.....on the bottom of your hanger is the pump seat, as Brian refers to it as. It has a Phillips head screw holding it to the hanger. DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE IT WITH A SCREWDRIVER. IT WILL STRIP THE HEAD. Grab a GOOD set of Vice-Grip pliers, grab around the edge of the...

What did I do to my DSM today? I started it and moved it 10 feet so I could MOW then moved her back. :idontknow:

I grabbed a set of digital calipers and my best (not SUPER accurate) measurements were that the injector "hole" is 10.5mm and the insulator recessed hole is 16.1mm. Both are close but not exact.

I like my twin. Stock (original) master and slave and the slave fell apart during the last motor change. It was NASTY inside. I cleaned it out, poured fluid into it and reassembled rather quickly so I am surprised it still works, but it does (or did, getting time for the new engine soon).

I can say that without "keystart", my car had one hell of a time starting. I mean literally 20 attempts before she would fire up. Now, turn the key and start. You need to fix keystart.

Double check your firing order just to be sure. 1-3-4-2 and on the coils correct? Post in thread 'Firing order' https://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/firing-order.491116/post-153503568

Yes. Transition from low to high pulse widths are definitely easier to tune on the hi z injectors. Some large low z injectors just don't like going from cruise to WOT without a hickup or stutter or stumble and you would be tuning around a issue that is hard to go around smoothly. That is the...

Mine are in both places. I still have the use of the upper vent, but it's not directional now. I wrapped the vent plate with CF wrap since it was silver/aluminum and stuck out like a sore thumb. No obstruction with the 3 pod pillar mount for me but I'm short, only 5'8".

FIC Hi-Z injectors and be done. Choose the size you will NOT need (because you will). I run Hi-Z 1120s in a basically stock GSX. 2150s in the 2 others cars, just scaled to work. Idle is fine. No throttle peddling to keep it running. Those two big injector cars start right up and run like normal...

It's possible the crank had been to a balancing shop. My Eagle crank got a treatment like that (much more professional looking, but material ws taken off at the shop).

I have 2 sets. Two different colors and they look great. I was the first to ask for a 1gb Talon emblem and now he has them available.

I see it :D 701 frames.......whew ROFL

I agree that pictures don't reflect the actual experience!

Tulsa Oklahoma view.

Same stand. :thumb: My bolts are 3" long BTW

Don't worry too much about crankwalk, you had an automatic car. Most, if not all, crankwalk motors are from stick shift cars and a lot use a HEAVY clutch and don't get rid of the clutch pedal switch to start the car. You don't have that. Have the block decked and head surfaced. It will seal...

It may just be the picture angle, but you look out of time. Dowels up, ✔️ Level with deck, not in the picture. I would recheck that timing, just to be sure. I had a motor that had head AND deck work and I had mine off. It didn't hurt anything but was 1 tooth off. Just a thought. Don't want...

Unless they are plugged or not functioning, that car should run. My son bought an old Honda and all if it's injectors we're STUCK. They are iron body injectors so I TAPPED on their bodies while running it on brake parts cleaner and they all came to life after 12 years of sitting. I suspect the...
