The only way to get the flow number as high on a similar displacement engine with less cylinders is to significantly increase bore/valve size, which can severely hinder port velocity. Do you understand the importance intake air velocity has on making power?

 

Yes sir.

No one has mentioned head flow yet. Total intake and exhaust port flow may be better on an engine with more cylinders, since you're adding more valves. I know this was the case with a Viper that I saw in comparison to a V8 engine of similar displacement. The V8 engines heads flowed better, but with 25% MORE valves, total flow was better on the V10, and it made better power.

 

I took it as all parts given being equal with the excepition to number of cylinders. Intake design, head design and so on. A larger cylinder bore will breathe better due to when the valve open the air/fuel won't "crash" into the cylinder wall and also the combustion chamber won't shroud the valve. Of course the chamber can still shround the intake chare on a larger bore; however with the larger bore you have more room to work with.

Is there power at the plug in on the wiper motor?

 

This is where I would check also. These rear wiper motors are known for failure.

He will probably by it back and fix as it will be a solid investment.

 

You beat me to it. :lolguy:

Larger cylinder bores promote better breathing abilities and more cylinders promote smoother revving. By adding more cylinders you shorten the time between firing pulses thusly giving a smoother running engine.

I hear the gods are laughing at us with potential rain tonight! Got the LeMans out for a little cleaning and blowing off the dirt today...makes me want to do a spring time dance! Still some salt on the roads though and have to dodge snow melt puddles

 

The weather channel shows 0% till 5 AM.

Did the same thing some years ago...glws

 

Same here. I bought one to learn on, played it all winter and then spring came and the track opened and I haven't touched it since.

Why didnt they just stop at 1? The first one was epic

 

The second one was epic also...epically the same as the first.

Yes Aussie for sure. An excellent breed. Very smart and protective. If anyone ever breaks into your home in the middle of the night they're in for a surprise.

Its on straight, I'm twisted trying to take the picture. Theres no room for it on my back.

B.B.L.R. is Buy it Build it Love it Race it. I do have plans to have cars drawn in behind it.

I know most people won't care for what the tattoo is, and I'm totally fine with that. I posted it to show the quality of the tattoo and not to get praised for what it is. That being said, I am very happy with the way it turned out. I think the colors work great and Andy's ability to run very fine lines is top notch. If anyone has an idea for a tattoo the has great detail I wouldn't hesitate to direct you to him.

I went down and had a session With Andy. Turned out pretty good I'd say.

Just an FYI, you shouldn't lay a crank flat like that. You should be able to sell that quickly I would say. GLWS

T/A has FIPK, MAF, T/B, intake, LT's, ORY, cat back, 9", shifter, D&S C5 brakes and wheels, front and rear sway bars, lowered and lower rear control arms. I also have LCR brackets but I have yet to install them. I drive it all year as long as there isn't too much snow on the roads. It still gets around 20 MPG which is about 4 MPG better than the Trailblazer.

Should be nice out this weekend.

The dash fits the rest of your build flawlessly. Good job sir!

I have had titles notorized at Kroger at the service desk. I'm not sure of thier hour though.

Some of the close calls and wrecks.

 

 

Some crazy madness down there.

Mad Hatter

Sold!!

 

Sold, more like stolen. Someone got themselves one hell of a deal!

Will that work for you?

I have one you could borrow for the weekend if you like. I could bring it to work tomorrow. I work off East Broad St and Brice rd by the new Manards.

I would love to go but I will have my kids and I don't think I want to expose them to this side of the world yet. You guys enjoy all the yum yum BBQ.

appreciate the attempts, but i said cowl, not ram air lol

 

something like this....

9th one down, sorry wont give direct link.

 

Thats the only cowl hood I've seen for your body Firebird. I've seen them for the Camaro's a bunch but not Firebird's. Most people want the Ram Air hoods. It does look nice a nice piece with a price to match though.

 

On a side note:

 

I can get this hood for my car and then change my screen name to IMSTOCK3
