the sniper you have will do most of the tuning by itself,and for your 390,i would spend the money on other stuff instead of a dyno,like better valve springs etc.just ,my ,02 cents here.

« on: September 07, 2026, 05:00:00 PM »
you say not generally but thats how it is.supply and demand.the original hi rise f and d intakes start around $2500 for a good one,and they work well in nhra stockers like the fairlanes,in the 9s in stock legal trim.why not use one of them?
on another note,sohc intakes can start at$5k,like the ones on ebay.
there is another alternative,have one cast for you.wih the new tech in printed sand molds for aluminum castings,its not as cheap as regular castings but it can be done,just need the digital designs for.

check your intake manifold bolts to make sure they are tight,i had 2 engines that were built 10 or more years ago and one with alum heads and one with iron heads,were loose and most were finger tight.replace intake gaskets on both and they were perfect,vacuum back to normal.both were aluminum intakes as well.also check for bad vacuum hoses as well.and if a vacuum advance distributor, make sure plate moves freely.

i have to wonder why tremec doesnt make and sell the trans with the short input for a stock ford bell housings?how many gm ones do they make?why do we ford guys have to deal with this ?

i have a tremec 3650 from a 2001 mustang,and a billet front plate for it to bolt into a ford bell,but i have not moved forward on this yet,trans will need some better parts installed before i try it with 700 hp.

did your landrum springs bend like this when you compressd them?these are 18.25 long so close to what you had.
i sent a pm to you to ask more questions.
also haveing your car scaled at 4 corners can help with launch from what i have seen from others,and using the caltracs as well.
what do you think your front to rear bias is on your car?

there are on correctly but i didnt have shocks in it.still shouldnt bend like that.did you scale your car? thats the only way i can get the right spring rates for the front,but have not done it.
it seems that your spring of 200 would be to soft,bbf iron block etc.i can only guess at mine.

these are moroso 47200 and i did not cut them,but they really bent out of shape with just the the spring compresser so they maybe defective.if you want to sell your springs let me know.
i did try spacers iunder the spring seat and that helped a lot.so i may go back to the older springs with spacers.your spring rate is much less than i would have guessed.these are 260 and previus springs are 250.bbf engine weighs about 550 lbs,c4 etc.
