    Cam selection help for destroked 7M project

    I'm supposed to pick up my 85mm stroke 7m crank tomorrow, so I'm thinking about the cam selection now. I have an opportunity to have a set of cams made to my specs at a good price, but I don't have any real experience with upgraded cams other then just cam gear adjustments. I was talking to...

    The best classic car show I have ever seen in my life. 230 pics!

    It's classic cars, plus some custom motorcycles, and some dune buggies, and a boat. There was a 30's car with a Lexus V8, another with a 12cyl Ferrari engine, another with a twin supercharged V8, an amazing 255mph 4cyl Mopar car with a massive turbo, and soooo many others that were just plain...

    Spammers shut down our email

    Rocky Balboa

    I saw it tonight, and I REALLY enjoyed it. It was great, exactly what you would want to see as the end to the series, and much better then you would expect.

    5m crank in a 7m, or just go 5m?

    I just picked a 5m longblock today! Thanks Dan :thumbup: It had rod knock suddenly at startup one morning and was only driven a very short distance after that. I'm hoping that the crank and rods are ok. I have been pondering a destroked 7m for a good long while now :naughty: After...

    Is there a place to report technical problems with the forum?

    I didn't see anywhere specifically to report a problem with the forum itself or your login or similar technical issue. Figured I would be the test dummy to ask so everyone can read the answer. :biglaugh: Hopefully i'm not just blind. :biglaugh: I have my time zone set correctly in my user...

    Custom front fender mod

    Ok, here is how to make the front fenders more aerodynamic, and save weight from paint removal. It's easy, and requires no work from you. Step 1) Give wife 1jz supra. Step 2) Have her drive around while talking on the cell phone. Step 3) Look for a red light with a Ford Taurus parked at...

    Is IJ really gone?

    I don't know what happened, but I really miss IJ. He is a great guy with lots of excellent knowledge and experience, and more importantly I consider him a good friend even though I never met him in person. Even if he does not want to come back I want him to know this. I hope differences can be...

    Dyno'd the gt4082

    Got the 7m on the dyno after working on it till 4:30am the morning before. 17psi on pump gas. The maft pro is proving to be a real pita to tune. We did almost 40 pulls. Much of that was cam gear adjustments.

    OMG it's big!

    Yes my wife says that about my belly, but no, I'm talking about my new GT4082 turbo! It's bigger then I was expecting, but it should fit with the Precision Turbo exhaust housing I ordered. The one it comes with has a v-band that is huge and it's extended about 3" from the main part of the...

    Coilpack relocation done

    I installed everything but the na valve covers tonight. The stock coilpack harness still plugs right in to the engine harness. I didn't bother with the stock style plug boots because I am going to remove the useless center valley cover. Those only work if you have a brand new one with the rubber...
