heh, custom cams on a 4v? gonna be pricey! wish i could afford that kind of junk.


my business finally started picking up so maybe i'll be able to start a build thread over on sbftech soon with my new motor from nathan with custom cam, heads top it off with a super vic and pro systems carb....

only problem is my lil 306 wont have any velocity

Matt was not being ignorant, maybe he was a bit harsh on your sentence structure, but IMO people should try a little harder to write a decent post. You gave some pretty poor advice, nothing you suggested will do a thing on a stock engine.

Ditto, plus did everyone fail to notice he said 83 5.0 so if stock 4bbl carb, cast-iron exhaust manifolds, single exhaust with dual tip.

Need to know what if any modifications have been done to it. Or is it bone stock.

Even for gear suggestions it is most likely still a 7.5 rear-end and what transmission SROD, T-5 or Auto?

Sorry to put this thread back on track.

its the same price of a 50 you just need 4 of them

Sorry I'm new to this, but what do you mean by "gears"? Do you mean changing the gear ratio of the tranny? I have most of the common mods like headers and performance exhaust, but I'm not really sure what else would really help. I've heard a lot of talk about superchargers and turbos, while I probably don't have the money for that, what are the pros and cons of them? I really appreciate your guy's input.

"gears" refer to the ring and pinion in the rear end

yeah you probably right it just the stuff that i do that i feel makes a difference but never really taken it a dyno or anything it just funner to drive for me.

The higher gear ratio 4.10 very good acceleration very poor top speed mpg go down the tube the lower the gear ratio poor acceleration but better mpg and higher top speed.

eh all depends on how you look at it, last summer i had 4.30's in my fox with 5 speed.... It got 18mpg and i crossed the 1/4 at 100+ just round 6000rpm in 4th gear

FivePointOhh

you are mis informed sir.

mpg city or highway? with what tire size? tranny ratio? what peak rpm? properly set up you can have great acceleration and good mpg.
