  1. Thanks for all the info guys! I have been thinking about what feild I want to go in, and the two that I have given most attention to have been either cargo or corporate. I figured a four year degree would likely be a plus, but I am a fast paced person and 4 years of desk work just doesnt seem to appealing to me. Regardless, I will figure it out and I just want to have a fun career that I am interested in.

  2. Hey guys! So I recently decided to become a pilot. I am going to take private lessons to get my Private License and then work towards a commercial licence. At this moment I am searching around for recomended instructors and a good price.

     

    Anyone here know of a fair rate to pay for lessons? The closest instructor to my house is giving an average cost of $9800 for about 60 hours? The plane I would be flying is a Cessna 172 and the company is Eagle Aviation in Columbia, SC.

  3. 3 IN. Will definatly be better than the 2.5". If you factor in the length of piping and number of bends that create back preasure in the system, the 3" piping becomes superiour. It will also become beneficial once the boost bug bites you and the urge for more power becomes harder to resist ;)

  4. I am running the 3.90 in my Turbo setup and hate it. I have a larger than stock turbo and I can never get over 10psi in 1st gear. It's also my DD and I drive mainly on the highway(3.90 is terrible for the highway). I will soon be going to a 3.54 as the 3.90 is WAY too short. Also, if your using the stock turbo cam, the 3.90 tends to keep your RPMS above the power band.

  5. Take into consideration that the vacuum advance is only engaged under light throttle, when there is a good vacuum being applied. When under WOT the vacuum advance is not giving the additional 18 degrees.

  6. When you pull the front timing cover, I would recomend replacing the two gaskets for that cover. Also, It makes the job a bit easier if you loosen the bolts to the oil pan to allow a bit of clearence when you reinstall the front cover. I believe the crank bolt is a 27mm, but dont hold me to that number.

     

    The two dots on the chain should line up with the dots on the cam sproket and crank sproket at the same time. Both dots should be on the right hand side if you are facing the cam chain.(tried finding a pic, but could'nt)

  7. Go to autoZone and have them test your alternater. Your guage reading 14v when the car is on may be saying the alternater is putting out the correct volts. But if the alt is not putting out enough amps, then your battery may not be getting a decent charge.

  8. Wish I had seen this before I sent you a PM. By the way, I am running a Failpro head gasket on 15psi with ARP head bolts. Tomorrow I will try and scan my dyno sheet and post it up, numbers were 290hp and 350.4 ftlbs/tq.(I had one run at 297 hp with a few ft/lbs of torque less) What type of Dyno did you run on?
