280zwitha383

oh yeah, I'd like some camel toe iron heads too.............

I would be happy with a $20 jack and a rebuild kit.

What are you running in the 1/4?

This is true. However, to make it FASTER you're going to have to spend a couple more $$$. I can honestly say I have an incredibly fast car for $7k. However the new Z06 at $70k will just barely whip me (but not for long)....

Ahh, anybody could smoke those little bitty tires.

Forget about the ones smaller than the 351, they're more work to mount and less performance. Unless it's SVT. Then anything goes v8 wise any way.

Have you looked into the flow of the heads though? It might be kind of like the whole let's put 305 heads on a 350 so it will raise compression nevermind the fact that the 305 HEADS FLOW LIKE CRAP.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that it happened after I put (very free flowing) dual exhaust on the car. It was running out of a single 2 1/2" which would make me think it's running lean....

My 383 will start smoking at about 5k in 3rd gear (my final gear) and will cut out anywhere between 5800 and 6500 depending on what it feels like doing. The engine does burn some oil but when it's smoking it smells like fuel (maybe unburned fuel, I don't really know the smell unless that is it, in that case I know it well). I have stock jetting in a Holley Street Avenger 670cfm. I've also read that with my victor jr (single plane) I should probably need a few more jet sizes. I haven't had a chance to go to the track and really jet it and even then couldn't do a whole lot of good because our track is 1/8th mile. I don't really see how it could be rich in stock form. It has 65 primary and 68 secondary jets. CAN YOU BE TOO RICH THAT YOUR ENGINE STUMBLES? It doesn't burn my eyes that I notice when it smokes and it's not just a ton of smoke but it's noticeable so I'm not really sure what's going on. Thanks for any help.

That's good to know. Now if the lady will just call me....

Sweet. Hope you put some better springs on those heads. Good luck. Are you planning to put afterarket heads on it later?

Overheating the cpu will make the computer restart. If you were to overheat the graphics chip you could cause your problems however.

So tomorrow after I hit the sells I told a lady I work with I would change here timing belt on her 2002(?) Protege. Anyone done one of these and if so do you have any tips to doing it? I don't know which 4 cly it is. Thanks.

They will stay on their own if you don't JB weld them won't they?

For that matter if you don't have shared memory it could be the memory built into your graphics card. Cheap memory, as I have learned the hard way, is a nono .

You must have some REALLY good hearing to hear the processor. (J/k) I was going to say that it could be your shared memory (that is you ram that your motherboard uses to run it's onboard graphics) if you have onboard graphics. But, now that I think twice about, it I'm not sure if that's probable. Might be worth a shot if you have more than one stick of ram in there to swap them out and try it.

Close but no cigar. Mmk

Haha, hopefully he's joking. If not he's a tard..

Sh*t can only be used in the figurative noun form or the adjective form. You can only use it in the none literal sence. For instance, "That's a sh*tty picture of me" is now fine. However the literal noun form of, "This is a picture of sh*t" is still naughty The adjective form is also acceptable, for example, "The weather outside is sh*tty" However the literal adjective is not appropriate, for example, "My bad diarrhea made the inside of the toilet bowl sh*tty and I had to clean it with a rag which then also became sh*tty"

My dad told me that one time he was in the field (he's a surveyor) and came upon a bloated cow that blew all of his insides out his A hole while he was watching.

Well, all of them I've had including this one will start again say the same day without priming it. Since I changed the jets this one won't so that's how I know somethings up.

Oh yeah, my nose is still straight. It just hurts a little and feels like it's plugged full of gause.

Well, here the story. I'm coming home from a pretty long day of work and going through the long side of our alley. I get about 4 houses away and there's this huge moving truck parked right beside the dumpsters (I thought they could have moved it back about 10 ft or better yet parked it the other way so that the loading end would be right smack where they needed it but no). So I'm kinda ticked off. I turn around in the alley and punch it for probably a little over a second (long enough to throw plenty of gravel into everything that ever thought of being behind me, get a little sideways but then get out of it because I was getting close to fishtailing into a power line). Stupid me, I immediately go around to the short part of the alley and pull into my carport without cruising around for a little while to let it blow over. Right about then I hear this scraggly voice say, "hey". It sounded like an old lady smoker. Anyway I went inside and like an idiot thought I would throw the trash out and maybe tell the lady that she's an idiot.... Well I start walking towards the dumpster which is the same way that the moving truck is. This dude practically runs after me and asks me if the black car was mine. I said yes and he said what's the f*ing deal. I asked him why he couldn't park his truck the other way or move it backwards. Then he punched me. It didn't feel like much at the time, I just remember thinking he just hit me! Well he keeps coming towards me. I told him I didn't want to fight and that he got his hit in you know so let's call it even. And he's like I'm about to hit you a lot more than that. So I'm thinking man I really don't want to fight this dude because no matter who wins he's liable to try and kill me seeing how badly he reacts to having some gravel in his stuff. So some other guy came and got him. Me being worried that he would mess with my car or maybe even my wife, asked him if he's going to mess with my stuff (because he seems like the type). Well he says I'm not going to touch your $hit. And I believed him. So that was that.

Well, I guess we don't just limit the mentality of fix it yourself to our cars.

Peel through all of the gears, that's a blast. I wouldn't try it in overdrive though.
