Does anyone have any Iron Stage 2 heads they will let go of cheap? Or maybe just one head?

There is not enough room for the extra head bolt holes. This is a prototype stage 1. When I worked for the Conleys I examined one very closely against a production 4.1 and a 109. The biggest difference between this and a 109 is that thick main webbing. Also, for some reason it was thought to...

Does your car have the resistor in the ignition key? If so, the little wires that connect the ignition switch to the VATS module may be broken. When you turn the tumbler the wires get pulled and crimped. I've seen this on a few cars. The cars will start, but only run for a few seconds.

Yes, it will increase the volume. Sounds like a good idea to me!

I agree, Machining isn't going to make near as much heat as a panic stop at 60 mph in a 3600 lb. car. I've machined rotors and have never had them glowing red like I've seen them through the wheel after spirited driving.

Will there be a charge?

Hey Tradin, I don't usually cruise the Texas Members area, but I saw your post. My mother worked for TXU (an electric company) for thirty years. I called and asked her, and she thinks that Austin Light and Power is municapaly<sp> owned, so they probably do not have unions. She wasn't...

Can you set the alcky to come on under no boost? Because if you leaned that motor out and jumped the timing up four to six degrees you would tell a difference. You would have to have some sort of tuning device though. I bet with alcohol and proper tuning you could gain 20hp or so.

In Houston, I would get them from a fastener supply warehouse called Nuts & Bolts.

Gear Vendors are the hot ticket. Almost no power loss, and maybe weighs 50 lbs. If you think they are for big trucks, think again. There is a blown alcohol dragster that uses one as its transmission.

Friends of mine run Methanol/Two Stroke Oil in their Yamaha Banshee ATV's There setups are carbureted and a little on the rich side, but after a season of riding the piston tops resembled golf balls, they were pitted pretty bad. The alcohol had done this, but these engines were using methanol...

When I worked at Conley's we had a customer with a Snow system and he was interested in the Nitro. I called Snow and asked about the power claims, their biggest gains were on an 1100 hp TT Mustang, they gained around 60 hp. I'm under the impression that a 400 hp Buick may not get 50hp, but...

LS1's with a convertor, tires, and only a 150 shot typically go 7.5 around here. But, they are capable of running bigger shots than people think. The guy may have a 250 shot, so watch out next time. The fastest stock bottom end (even the stock hyp pistons) has gone 9.6Xs 325hp shot!!!! :eek:

You will have to drop something a little, timing or boost. But it will probably make the same power with less of either.
