    Jim do you have a link for the plate and how did you modify it??? Mac
  2. George is right he should get a lifetime free membership. I think it would be the least we could do as a token of appreciation. Godspeed to Kevin and his family. Mac
  3. Wow I always just read your signature as far as motor specs but the times are pretty impressive. If you were to get your 60ft times down into the high 1.7s and the nitros you'll be dancing in the 10 second area give or take. Have you changed anything over the winter as far as tires and rear suspension go? If so I'd be interested to hear what you've done. Mac
  4. MisQ.......This is my second cam for this car. The cam listed above is the cam that I'm using, The first cam that I had bought was a summit cam. Lobe seperation was 112 or 114 and the lift was 465/488. After bouncing the idea around with the forum and some people that I used to race with they all said the summit cam would work but I would be happier with a different cam. So the Trick Flow track heat cam is what I came up with. Is that the first setup that you have used Monte? Or did the car evolve to that point over time? Mac
  5. Maybe I should give you a little more info so you can see why I picked this cam It starts with a Holley 750 on a performer rpm intake. I went with the Trick Flow heads( 64cc chambers 195cc runners and 2.02/1.60 valves } Fair idle, strong midrange power, 2,600 to 6,100 rpm powerband. 2,500 to 3,000 rpm stall converter recommended. Compression ratio: 9.5:1 to 11:1. 228 intake/234 exhaust .320 in./.329 in. .480 in./.494 in. 110 All of this in a 400 small block.
  6. I had the right duration but lift and lobe seperation were way off. Only saving grace was I didn't spend alot on that mistake LOL. Mac
  7. Thanks for the info Monte. I just read the article and with out a doubt it's a "must read." I just wish this article was out BEFORE I bought my first cam LOL Live and learn. Mac
  8. Are the eaton and auburn locker units or are they limited slip units? A little side note how long did it take for you to finish your Monte?

I think they actually helped the housing strenght. It seemed more solid when hitting bumps after I put the Moser's in. They only cost me $240 for the set with studs. I don't know to much about Power Trax system. Thats the one you can install without taking the carrier out is'nt it? I'd definitley go with and Eaton or Auburn carrier just for the strength.

  9. Are the power trax units any good? Quote: <font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by Mac13: Hey 12,s ....now your cookin' with gas.I used to run low 13's when my dad and I raced.It was always a blast but 12's should be even more in less time.Thanks for the info. Mac </font>
  10. Hey 12,s ....now your cookin' with gas.I used to run low 13's when my dad and I raced.It was always a blast but 12's should be even more in less time.Thanks for the info. Mac Quote: <font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by BowtieThunder: From the sounds of it should be a nice car,I would think the 10 bolt will be fine for you right now.Just add an aftermarket center section and you should be fineto low 12's </font>
  11. My plans are to build a street rod that I can race on the weekends. I have a 400 with a 350TH thinking 3.55or 3.73 for gears 2500-2800 converter something along those lines would be perfect for now ......of course if I can make it faster over a period of time I'll probably do that as well.It's a black with black interior,bucketsand it should look good of course.I want people to know I'm coming and catch h@#l trying to catch me lolthat,s about it. Quote: <font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by BowtieThunder: What problems are you having?A 10-bolt housing will work more than likely, what are your plans?What are you building?Fill us in and we will go from there. </font>
  12. Well I'm going to roll the dice with the 10 bolt and let the chips(diff parts)fall where they may lol.Thanks for all the info. Mac Quote: <font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by Hooter: Huh my monte originally came with a pontiac 10 bolt, I always thought there was something odd about it, but now I swapped it out for a 12 bolt, are the pontiac 10 bolts worth anything then? </font>
  13. Are there 12 bolts out there that are a direct fit or do I need to get one and modify it Quote: <font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by Monte: Well a 12 bolt is always a better choice. But there are 2 types of 10 bolts in our cars. There is the regular GM 10 bolt and a BOP Pontiac 10 bolt. I would not invest a lot of money into the GM 10 bolt however they are tougher than you think. Now the Pontiac 10 bolt is a different story. They are strong as a mountain. I have had my BOP 10 bolt in my car for 6 plus years. It has thousands of passes on it and regular street use. The only thing is the BOP 10 bolt is expensive to build. But I could not find a cheap 12 bolt so I built the 10. That's my 2 cents. Monte </font>
  14. Oh and thanks for the info to I need all the help I can get Quote: <font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by Mac13: Do you know what section he is in? </font>
  15. Do you know what section he is in? Quote: <font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by alex's72fgmc: hey there... I am not sure but a 10 bolt should take at least 400 hp possible 550 as long as it is shimed right and the case is straight from the get go but rice racing would know far better than i would on that so see what he says. alex </font>
