Please DO NOT Post In The General Section

From this point on until otherwise briefed, posting in the general section of Performance Tech is prohibited. The only thing to remain here will be the stickies. We would just delete this section, but that would cause unintended results.


The majority of the threads created can appropriately be placed in one of the Performance Tech sub-forums or Technical; and the posting of them here is detrimental to the activity of said forums. If you have any questions about where you need to place your thread PM me or one of the other mods.


For the most part you all have caught on without this post, but there have been a few habitual offenders that forced me to say this.


Everyone will get a couple of warnings from here on out, after that I just start deleting threads.

Again if you have any questions, PM me or one of the other mods.

    im not sure if this has been mentiond yet but my boss keps raving to me about lateral gas ports and low tension rings.

    one another thing about longer rods...theres more time that the piston stays at TDC when the crank hits the other side of rotation. so its all about finding that rod ratio.

    0.5mm Oversized Stainless valves and bronze guides available. Pm me please.

      Yeah, I didn't even cover piston dwell.

      P.S. Everything in here was a basic overview. Kudos to the guy who actually make a living with this stuff, and know it down to the detail level.

      Wed3K has also offered to help me organize all the miscellaneous crap I have laying around here into organized peices of information.

      I am going to take him up on the offer, and we will get it done as we can.

          werd, ive been reading so much on people's build's, articles, books, magazines...quite the interesting stuff however it doesnt apply until you actually do it.

          im taking a class on automotive repair right now and i already know half the shit in the class because ive taken it before. im just there to abuse their tire machine and hopefully learn how to weld. at least the mig so i can get good enough to do chassis bars and roll cages.

              LOL! I don't know about that...

              Thanks for the compliment though.

              I just read a lot and try to relate it.

              Anyone could do it if they really wanted to. Seriously.

              I am sure I have the basics right, but am probably not 100% accurate, at least beyond the superficial level, which is why I want to verify them.

                Well, I guess you can retain and regurgitate information well, it takes someone of some intelligence to perform even that, in my mind you are still a genius haha.

                You project and display information very well, which I appreciate as not many individuals will take the time to do so. To say the least, thank you. Haha.

                  my boss at work goes by this old book he had from the mid 90's named "Auto Math"

                  im gonna have to borrow it so i can display all the equations and give examples of course.

                    Speaking of books. Do any of you have a book or two to recommend for someone wanting to learn? I find myself reading these posts and as I get to the end I keep wanting to know more.

                      I would recommend going to the automotive section of a store such as Hastings or Barnes and Noble. They usually have good ones there.

                      If it interests you, pick it up and see if it would be worth reading.

                      You could also do a category search at Amazon.com.

                        it is the summer time, take a boring, chill evening and just read it in the store so that you dont have to spend the 20-30 bucks for it.
                        and BTW, this is the one that we have at work.

                          I own that one.

                          Among others.

                          I am a fan of buying them, because then it is available if you need it, in the middle of something.

                          Maximum Boost by Corky Bell is a good one also.

                          I have one that is about programming EMS systems, and the basics of the variables and what they do, as well as how they relate to others.

                          The old Sport Compact Car series of books were good, because it took a lot of the tech stuff in that magazine, and put into one place.
