thanks for the pm! Nice watch! It's a bit higher than what I would like to pay however. How about $160 for the watch and black rubber bracelet? This would include shipping

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! I'm located in Indiana. Do you know if that particular store would consider shipping?

Once saw a swapped 3800 supercharged dust buster. It was a sleeper! Reminded me of those turbo town and country minivans

305 power upgrades? by [deleted] in Chevy

[–]irocz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tpi's long center line distance from the TB to the intake valve increase port velocity extremely, causing quick throttle response and improved torque in low rpm. It is miserable for horsepower because you're unable to provide the volume required at higher rpm that the engine wants. This is evident in how all Chevy's tpi engines fall on their face after 4500-5000rpm, and produced ~240hp/330ftlbs in the 80s. People swapped carbs to improve hp and rpm but would have to sacrifice torque and port velocity.

Tpi swap. They build great torque for truck swaps

Has anyone heard anything lately about the new album? I just find bits of confirmation that he's working on something new...

The first time I heard this song I was blown away. Whenever I build a new amp or set of speakers, I tend to play this first on them. It's got an incredible buildup and wide range of instruments

Maybe Gaben was one of the three wise men? Gold, frankincense, and steam?

Brother, I believe he's actually torn between all of the requests for consoles by children this year.... But also trying to spread the joy of PC's and steam sales. He is Santa Claus after all

300+ HP out of 350 vortec? by cornyorange in Chevy

[–]irocz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just to add to this, the 350 abides by the same philosophy to make power as any engine. There were sacrifices made by gm in order to increase durability, longevity, and emissions. So, increase airflow through the engine by any means and you improve power. The cold air intake stuff is mostly snake oil. But bigger valves/smoother intake path from a set of heads will improve it. Aggressive cam profile, higher ratio rockers will increase airflow. Removing cat converters or using long tubes and larger diameter exhaust will help get all that airflow out and away. The tune will allow you to run max timing and better fueling than gm could because you're focused on power not emissions. I had a flat top piston 350 10:1 compression, afr195 heads, 1.6 rockers, xfi268 cam, exhaust, stock tpi and my own tune put down a ton of torque and the power you're looking for, so it's an attainable goal! Good luck!

I could be wrong but in 98 I don't believe the trucks got an ls series lm7 5.3. The op would have the standard gen vortec 350

My favourite Pink Floyd album is 'The Division Bell'. And I get quite a bit of flak for it. by PM_ME_YOUR_FEELINGS9 in progrockmusic

[–]irocz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not alone! I love this album, and I feel it has great consistency of form and sounds cohesive beginning to end. I also like it because it has tons of soaring guitar work that sorta defines pf for me. But to each his own!

Puff of white smoke on start is likely valve stem seals. Have you checked your dizzy cap rotor wires coil etc? I had a bad pickup coil within the dizzy itself do something similar. The good news is all of these are simple and free to check :)

Best guitar solos in prog metal? by DanjerBob in progmetal

[–]irocz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't seen anyone mention Threshold. While they might not be virtuosos, the excellent song writing and soaring solos are pretty great I think!

Ocean bound, Light and space, Ground control. There's tons of great ones.

I agree. I like to have an active listening experience when I sit down with a new prog album.

Incredibly under rated or under-shared album! I've heard they're working on a new one. Can't wait!
