Default RE: headers glow red and after 5 minutes car overheats

i was also told if my cats were clogged it would hesitate and buck but the power is all there it really seams like its running rich and the gas tha cant be burned is burning inside of my headers but im not sure as soon as i find a mass air conversion kit i hope thatll straighten it out cuz i also burned 3/4 tank of gas in 1 week of the car sitiing and me trying to get it to run right and a friend braught it to my attention u can smell gas fumes rite after u turn the engine off inside the headers so im guessing i have to many mods for my setup and i just need mass air "i hope"

dude, can you please try and use a comma or two? Maybe a period once in a while. Your posts are super hard to read, this is not a text message man.

Excuse me, sir? I think you dropped these.

.....,,,,,,?????

Feel free to take them and use them where you see fit in your posts. If you run out, let me know and I'll see if I can get you some more.

564 rwhp on a stock 302 block huh? And what exactly were these mystery mods? What size injectors? No timing retard? Oh, and it's pretty safe to say that there was no tune as well judging by what you said earlier. I may have to pull out the BS flag real soon here.

how much boost are you running? assuming from what you said earlier its not a stroker. what size heads are you using? headers? who made your cam? what are the specs?
what tips can you give us on keeping the blocks from spliiting?

this should help with my build up

also can you show us some pics of this beast? include some motor shots or you know some pics of the car with the hood open like this

Ohhh. I like that fuel pressure gauge. Does it screw right over the schrader valve or does it have its own 1/16 NPT adapter to screw right into the rail?
