Don Terrill’s Speed-Talk

as stated, my brother is a machinist so we have a drill press to use and a mill so the tools arent really the problem. i was more interested in if there was something special i needed to do to use the girdle, also i didnt understand what the advantage of a valve guide plate was. thanks for all your ...

seems everyone has an agenda doesnt it?

yeah my brother is a machinist and he is doing all the work i was just trying to figure out what all i need to do. what is the advantage of valve guide plates? and do i need to do anything special to use a stud girdle. everything i find online just shows people putting it on with no extra work. this...

So i pulled one of the press ins so i am going to be installing the screw in studs. i am going with screw in 3/8th studs and i will be using a stud girdle as well. first thing is what all do i need to do, i have read about milling the boss but i dont know why that needs to be done. this will all be ...

gibbs guy was right on the money. we break in for 30 min at 2000-3000rpm. change the filter after that, then use the break in oil for one night of racing.

My name is Bryan, I race IMCA southern sport mods in oklahoma, kansas, texas. I am looking for new sponsors for this upcoming season, this will be my first full time season so exposure will be very high due to the amount of races i plan to attend. I am open to any ideas you may have. anything helps ...

port side.

I just pulled the motor and looked at a few exhaust valves and about 3 of them are black sort of oily but the motor doesnt burn oil. from what i remember it was number 1,3,4. motor ran fine last time we ran it no smoke or anything but this has been my problem motor that wouldnt rev over 6000rpm.

i didnt realize they had you guys cut down to 6200 rpm. but i would stay with the 1.94, 1.50 as well. possibly a 1.60

i got about 3 mpg extra using a 50hp tune on one of those tuners. as far as tearing stuff up they will definitely do it especially on the outrageous tunes they put out on some of them. saying they will make an extra 200 hp. little extreme to pull a 5000 lb trailer.

looks like another tuner company is going to have to discontinue some models. still wont stop us from getting rid of that dpf bs.

go pokes!

I have a set of Comp cams conical valve springs, used for one race then i switched to a bigger cam, they are pretty much brand new. 75 obo i also have a hyd flat tappet cam .292/.292 488/488. used one race as well, was broke in. pretty close to brand new. 75 obo. and i have a 8.5inch gm 10 bolt rear...

i would probably go with number 2 out of those choices. that is very close to what is in my car for 3/8th mile tracks.

i agree 100 percent with your staggering. i always measure new tires to see which is the biggest figure out where i will use each one then if i need more stagger put air in it and sit it in the sun. an inch or so can be made that way.
