@ Juggy

Where is the Daytona with the DOHC motor swap??!!!! I want to see it!

edraws · 10-11-2005, 06:38 PM

Here's my $0.02,

- GET RID OF THE STOCK AIR BOX! Replace with a cone filter on the stock intake pipe, etc...
- Replace the coil with a HO one, Accel, MSD, etc...
- Replace the Cap & Rotor to a set with brass points.
- Better spark plugs, I personally use Bosch Platinum's but people recommend NGK V-Power's.
- 180 degree thermostat (Still have to install mine)
- Better spark plug wires... Accel, Mopar, Magnecore, etc...
- Plenum Swap 89+, (Still on hold)
- Mobile 1 Motor oil, but I have been using 5w30 Quaker State High Mileage and had good results.

Change hydraulic lifters to solid lifters, they make these for our cars dont they? Good bolt on if your doin a cam swap too.

RPMurph · 10-12-2005, 12:25 PM

remove CB shafts? how has that not come up yet?

mwinkle353 · 10-12-2005, 03:46 PM

Internal modification. Not bolt on.

How's about adjusting the cam timing with offset cam keys??? Is that basic??

allmotor · 10-15-2005, 09:27 AM

BPU is basic performance upgrades. Its not opening up the heads or block. Anything else is game.

Not like this matters anyways because someone killed simon.

BoostedShelbyZ · 10-17-2005, 06:42 PM

whos simon?

ednutcracker · 10-22-2005, 11:13 PM

trow in 50hp shot of nos, if you want an excuse to get a turbo engine 75 or 100hp shot will do

mech1nxh · 10-22-2005, 11:28 PM

frank...
correct me if wrong, but changing cam sprocket from square to round tooth?
retards cam 4deg? better low end grunt

and not to sound retarded here but simply adding air to the tires( up to the
mfgr cold fill max)has netted me 2-4 mpg and a noticeable low end response
I allso removed the resonator ,yea a little louder but worth 1mpg ...
humbly submited .02$

car now has 238k on original long block , daily driver....and depending on the seasonal fuel blend 28-31 mpg......

oh ...by the way..good to see you back....sorry, was not trying to hijack the thread....LOL

mech1nxh · 10-22-2005, 11:37 PM

ooopsy
humble apologies.......
admin has determined I can only edit messages for 5 min.....SO I type slow
SORRY FRANK ,BOLT ONS.........
just a mindset, a cam gear change to me is a bolt on..but not to others...
4 our fathers and three hail marys.....

Camshaft sprocket is acceptable, so is changing cams on a 4 banger, easy stuff. NOS is a good one its only good for short bursts.

jammerz63 · 10-30-2005, 07:20 PM

sounds like you guys have pretty much covered everything but the tbi header
and the 390 holley 4bbl. another thing i would suggest is different final drive
gears for the tranny. ( go from 3.56 to 3.87 or 3.85's). another thing that could be tried is a dry sump oiling system. also going with a windage tray and a crank scraper. that alone should be worth a few h.p.
