Right now I have a stock converter but would be willing to upgrade to a higher street style converter. Also I heard the stock valve springs in these aren't the greatest is that true?

I used Hughes #1110 springs with some junkyard 2.2L retainers with it. http://bulletcams.com/Masters/HRlobes.htm if you want wilder on a budget, talk to Tim at Bullet as to what they can fit on the stock core, or look at hughes' 1418AL or 1828AL regrinds Last edited by patrick; 08/09/12 02:45 PM. 1976 Spinnaker White Plymouth Duster, /6 A833OD 1986 Silver/Twilight Blue Chrysler 5th Ave HotRod SOLD!* 2011 Toxic Orange Dodge Charger R/T 2017 Grand Cherokee Overland 2014 Jeep Cherokee Latitude (holy crap, my daughter is driving)

Idles at about 9-10" though. My power brakes work fine still, I just can't pump them a lot at idle, but when driving its no problem. Even at first start up and moving it around the garage/driveway the brakes are fine. Idle sounds nice, and the torque curve was pretty flat. Fell off above 5500 rpm, which is about perfect for the street, but with better heads, it should pull to 6000 easy. Photobucket sucks

Probably gonna look for a set of EB heads with springs then over the winter while the car is away. the hughes springs/retainers will cost you about $150.... the stock springs are less than 90 lb/in rate IIRC. I can compress them in my hand some, and my old '96 ram truck would float the valves by about 5200 RPM with the stock cam (had the MP computer which removed the rev limiter) 1976 Spinnaker White Plymouth Duster, /6 A833OD 1986 Silver/Twilight Blue Chrysler 5th Ave HotRod SOLD!* 2011 Toxic Orange Dodge Charger R/T 2017 Grand Cherokee Overland 2014 Jeep Cherokee Latitude (holy crap, my daughter is driving)
