  5. Cops with no lights at night......

    in Passing Lane

    Posted

    And if they don't have their lights on, who is going to win in court anyway? We're you speeding? Yes. So why would the judge let you off because the cop had no lights on even if you were indeed breaking the law.

     

    How do I know?

     

    I was pulled over for 42 in a 25 by a cop from out of NOWHERE. The next day I was driving the same stretch and saw him parked behind a bush with no lights on. So I took pictures of him on THREE seperate nights. Then I went to court.

     

    The judge asked the cop if I was speeding. He said Yes. Then he asked me why I felt I was not guilty. I gave him a whole speach about the cop not having his lights on and showed him the pictures, ect. The judge looks at me and says "How does the cop not having his lights on change the fact that you were speeding, and thus breaking the law?"

     

    You guessed it, it doesn't. So not only did I get the full points and fine for the ticket, I also got $75 court costs for "wasting the courts time." Moral of the story: Technicalities will NOT get you off, and will most likey piss the judge off.

    Those look like opinions to me. :confused:

     

    The stock cam was not the same in 88-93 cars, in 93 it was a tad milder for emissions... although this not documented by Ford because it was such a mild decrease.

     

    15-30HP out of ported E7's? Heh, OK. MAYBE 15, but even that is pushing it.

     

    With Ported E7's, 1.7 rockers, an AFPR, and dyno time I still don't see 50+ HP. :confused:

And if I had done a complete motor rebuild and not kept the stock bottom end I could've gotten a bigger cam to go with my heads and made the power that after market heads can make but in my case I didn't. I think the for the money I spent a supercharger would've made more power for me.

    But I am glad that I have the heads so in the future when I do rebuild the motor I can get the power out of them. I was just disappointed with the money spent for the power it gave me.

    True, heads + cam + rockers = MAY not make as much power as just bolting on a blower. If you do it wrong... when done correctly you can make the same power as bolting on a blower. But what happens when you want to make more power and OOPS! Now you can't outflow your stock heads, cam, and rockers. Back to square one. Ever heard of building a motor FOR a power adder? Cause that is the way normal folks do it. "Bloting on a blower" is not the cure-all solution for more power. In most cases just bolting on a blower will NOT get the gains you would like ($2000+ dollar gains) and certainly the blower is WAY more efficent if you can actually flow the air through your motor first. I'm one of the guys you don't want to debate superchargers with, I wouldn't have a decent car if I didn't know a thing or two about them. ;) I have plain high ratio (1.90 VS 1.60) rockers on right now. This weekend in goes my cam and 1.75's. Cam's are how you do it, especially with a blown car.

     

    But ANYWAY he was asking for an economical solution which a blower is NOT. He's talking about ported stock heads so obviously he's on a budget. Not all of us have $2000+ sitting around to buy a blower.

     

    Now, it seems pretty obvious to me that he is sticking with his plans of porting stock heads. Now I will still say if you are going to do it, do it right and get better heads. To each his own as they say, so I won't touch the heads anymore unless asked.

     

    I still say go with an E303, it's a good solid cam that you can add rockers to later to custom tailor your lift. smile.gif

     

    ... and Jason thanks for keeping the debate going whilst I was working today. :D

    LITTLE extra money? Dude, the cheapest supercharger kit is $1900 not including install time if you aren't doing it. We're talking a $100-$150 set of GT40P heads here. You must be on drugs. :rolleyes:

     

    As far as heads not doing anything? If he put a set of blower or nitrous designed heads then yea, his heads would be outflowing his motor. But in this case, and I think you'll agree here, compaired to a good set of cheap GT40P's E7's suck. Ported and flowed to the max they aren't shit to a good set of GT40's which you could have for $150 for a complete set?

     

    I also disagree about the cam, the stock cam sucks. Especially the 93 stock cam but we won't go into that. Hell even a super mild cam like the B303 is better than a stock cam.

     

    Anyone who knows shit about motors will tell you much more power is to made out of a cam than a set of rockers. If you have the motor apart do a cam and you can later customize your lift with rockers. Don't do rockers by themselves if you can help it, and you want power. Rockers by themselves are a good kick in the ass, but a cam is better and makes more power. THEN you can put rockers on your cam later and make MORE power and customize your setup for what you want to do with your car. smile.gif

    I TOTALLY agree. If he does not have a flowbench, ect don't let him do it. He may be your sisters boyfriend's uncle who has been doing heads for 30 years but if he does not have the proper tools to flow a set of heads don't let him touch them!

     

    Hogging out the ports on heads will NOT make them flow better. Heads cannot be just "ported out" like an intake where you make the runners bigger. Heads MUST be done by a trained professional that has the tools, research, and knowledge to flow heads. "Been doing heads since before you were born" doesn't cut it... if the heads are done wrong in the smallest way they will most likely make your car SLOWER.

     

    I also agree that a set of GT-40P's are a good bang for the buck and can be found easily, although you will need a new set of headers made for the "P" heads. I think MAC sells them for the same price as their E7 headers.

     

    I reccomend the E303 cam for your Manual car.
