Yo yo yooo, How's everyone going? Okay so here is the go, Got my Falcon running pretty nice, I recently did a electronic conversion with MSD box and TFI dizzy. I finally got a graph that she likes and shes running pretty well, of course I ran into a problem the mechanical fuel pump just wasn't cutting it, so i've got a small electric one running inline witht he mechanical and that issue is fixed. The final thing i have to do is possibly change the cam on the accelerator, because she bogs out when you flat foot it from idle or even cruising. Anyway, shes sounding awesome, once out of bog, BAM, she just launches, you just watch the speed go up and up, the engine revving to 5500rpm, and bam shift. Now this is great and all except one part, the exhuast, when you are flooring it, it sounds amazing, its a 2 1/4 inch straight pipe, with a small "sports muffler", it has PaceMaker Extractors which have been wrapped from the head all the way down. Now my problem is I want to refine the exhuast system, make it loud but nice, get rid of the drone when idling and curising, and the ugly frequencies you hear when you aren't hammering it. Now of course, anything I do will make it a tad softer, but I don't want to make it too soft, I love it loud, just want refined. I'll make an example, take a modern commodore, now factoring out the fancy exhaust flaps and stuff, I want ot be able ot cruisie around in a nice burble and hum, and when I floor it, its as if the entire exhuast has just opened and the demons of hell are all yelling at the same time. Now there has to be a way to gain what i want, I am more then happy If i have to weld in a flap system, to redirect exhaust notes, into a soft muffler and and then into the louder one. What about running resonator?? Like throw me all the ideas guys, it can be out of this world I don't care, I will consider it, I love different and challenging, as well as aweosme. Hope to hear what you all got. thanks, Harry

Looking for some feedback and pros/cons of these two cams in a hot crossy with 10.8:1 comp, extensive headwork, ef crank/200 rods, 650 dbl pumper, 3000 stall auto and 3.5 diff. http://www.crowcams.com.au/FindaProduct/tabid/92/ProdID/15320/14626__FALCON_XFLOW_HIGH_LIFT.aspx http://www.crowcams.com.au/FindaProduct/tabid/92/ProdID/15321/Default.aspx Need a new cam after damaging my current solid - any other suggestions from other manufacturers even? Thanks in advance guys .

Hi guys, After opinions and experience on carb sizing for solid cammed 4 bbl crossy reving to 6200rpm. Currently got 650 dbl pump holley, can be a bit flat up to about 3200rpm with WOT but after that, it sings. I understand that smaller carb = higher velocity and more low down torque/throttle response. How small a carb would you go while maintaining high rpm capability??? Would something in the 450-600cfm be more suitable??? Cheers.

Had a Good look at this Cortina today Parked & on the Track! Slydog & I had spoken about this Car & Kenny being in the same place at the same time as me quite often, well today i finally caught up with him. What can i say but MADD..

I know the topic has been touched on before, but has anyone done the conversion from ULP to E85 on a relatively high comp crossy? The benefits of ethanol have been proven for boosted applications, but what are the opinions on cost vs. gains on an aspirated solid cammed crossy?

Does anyone know if the motor and t5 can be removed as one from an XF by dropping the fan and radiator etc? Or does the motor have to come out of the car separate of the gearbox?? Thanks.
