Buzzbomb Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) Craziness! I want to see a video of this running too. Do another 100 MPH video and compare them side by side :D Pretty cool deal... BTW- you might want to do a little reading about the exhaust inserts in that W58 head. I was checking out a few Z car sites (after searching here, of course :) ) when I had my head off to see if pulling the inserts out was worth the trouble, and from what I gathered, they have virtually no effect on performance.

Phlebmaster Posted April 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I had my speedo almost back to 0 MPH and I got scared so I slowed back down. That is why my throttle cable got shredded. I got a little gas happy. :D :D Thanks for the info on the liners, I have heard that too. ;) I will just go with a larger exhaust out the back. Quote Link to comment
Phlebmaster Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I love Home Depot!! I fixed my throttle for 4.00... check it out. :D I will be using the larger wire...the smaller wire is the stock size. These are electrical wire locker thingys. But they will do the trick and give me even more adjustability and they will fit into the throttle cam just right. I will also use a plastic liner on the cam end so the new wire cannot be shredded again. ;) Quote Link to comment

Buzzbomb Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 MAn! That's great :cool: Got an Ipod? Download that accelerometer based app and see what kind of 0-60 and 1/4 mile time you'd pull..Sounds pretty strong from 4000 up! How much CFM total are both those carbs? Like 500 or so?

Weaver Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Just read through the whole thread, this is amazing! The truck looks beautiful, especially for being a rattle can paint job! It sounds mean with the dual carbs on there... sweet. I think I might try that hood scoop thing when I get a replacement hood. Do you mind if I steal your idea? :D Quote Link to comment
