N.O.S fuel line problem
#24
Thanks guys, after putting ngk tr6 plugs and new fuel lines in today I was thinking about pulling the inline pump off then I looked at the old lines from 1995 and they were all starting to leak fuel and so that the major reason so I'm pulling timing as we speak and going to try and spray it tomorrow before I go to school. On a side note does anyone know how to change your username because I might want to in the future.

I'm thinking of building a 383 or 396 but I've heard that for a solid roller cam that you'd have to tear down the engine and refresh it every couple thousand miles and I don't know if that is true or not.

Couple thousand? Not likely that quickly, but yes certainly more frequently. The reason for a SR setup is to run a more aggressive cam lobe ramp. A ramp that accelerates extremely quick offers the valve a much longer duration at a wider opened state. Open further for longer = more Air/fuel in and more exhaust gasses out. Faster acceleration is not usually handles as well by a hydraulic lifter. The aggressive nature abuses the hydraulic "shock absorber". Also a SR setup allows for the ability to run at a higher RPM without valve float because you can then run a much stiffer valve spring. I'm currently building a SR setup 396 stroker with a LE spec'd 268/271 .688/.688 cam that will see 7300rpm shifts and a 200 shot. And yes, its a street car.
