![]() Well hello all. It's been over a year since I last posted on this board. I still see some of the same people on here as I did then, lol.
Anyways, I have kinda a techincal question to go along with my story. I was talking to someone about my car, and I told him what it ran(11.21/1.53/121 - don't worry I'm gonna update profile and signature). Well he went into this whole line of what was wrong with my combo, I tried to steer him to NMRA's website so he could see that guys with my similar combo have run as fast as 10.40s(My car was built over last winter to run Real Street but I was unable to attend any races) - he wouldn't have any of it, and said my head(twisted wedge) itntake(Edl Perf. 5.0) and cam(stock) combo were way mismatched. The heads, which were milled by Fox Lake Power Products, were way too misaligned with the lower intake ports, thus causing major turbulence and nitrous explosions(So he said). Thus he came to the conclusion I wasn't running spray or I would've blown it up. So my question - how many of you have come across this kind of ignorance? I really though everyone knew the potential of basic induction mods combined with a power adder can lead to some pretty quick stangs. Apparently not. I could not do anything to change this guy's mind. Just wondering what everyone else has experienced. Also, Can anyone offer any experience with milling heads, and the need to mill the intake on the 5.0?? I have never heard of the need to do so unless a radical head/intake combo is used or the heads have been milled drastically. I'm going to post that question in tech too. |
