It seems like every person that dynoed low, or ran not so good times have their rockers too tight It is the most common answear you see for having poor numbers.
How come no one was having those problems 2-3 years ago
I just find it quite funny with all these post about adjusting the valve lash etc

haha

Mebbe because more and more peeps are running the Comp 'R' lifters and any more than an 1/8 turn past zero is too much and will rob HP. Seen it first hand on my car.

No, people are Lemmings on here. All the different types of questions go through a cycle, and you'll see many different variations of the SAME question all on one page.

 

Not to hijack your post.. but would you know what my car will run w/ LT's, Cutout and a CAI ?

 

It always moves in trends around here. First we had the preload threads, those seemed to go on for months with new threads spinning off. Now we have the "power lost" threads.

I've run the Comp "R"s at anything from 1/8 turn to close to zero lash. Sometimes the car gains with less, sometimes it doesn't. So I prefer not to make blanket statements. I will say that I believe too many people base their engine tuning off of seat-of-the-pants, rather than track performance. Don't agree with that approach.

Ill tell ya in a week or so. When i run mine with that combo.

 

got to love those too

 

its just funny how everyone suggest that rockers are too tight when the numbers do not add up. "oh i ran 13.0 @ 107 but my rockers are too tight, so when i back them off i should be running mid 12s yada" or "I should gain around 10-20 hp cause i am running 1/2 preload instead of 1/8th"
Its quiet funny to me, hopefully this will go away soon and we can see more "help with my low rpm miss"

 

LMAO!!!

 

Come to think of it. I have a low RPM stumble that i can't get rid of. new opti, plugs, wires, coil, fuel filter, iac, cleaned maf and tb and etc and its still there!!! lol although i dont feel it much since its around 1400-2000ish

 

Oh come on... if you think this is bad, you should visit some honda boards.

"I just put Mobile 1 in my car today. WOOOOOWWWWWW what a difference it made!!!! The throttle response is now much crisper too."

 

I believe it.. Mobil has been enriching their oil w/ NOS for years now..

 

Well had you used the search function....you would have seen that your comments have already been made and people have already answered them accordingly....

 

How about, faster than it does without them.

 

yea i know what you're getting at.


take my normal tech board: thirdgen.org.


subject of brakes comes up and everyones jumping on the brake upgrades ( C4, C4HD, C5, LS1, willwood, AP, ect...)
