What do you think I could change without spending alot of money? And for the past couple of months my car has been tearing up belts left and right. So I noticed where the crank pully was when the car was on it was wobley what could of caused this besides having underdrive pullies? Also I know it doesnt help either by having the stock 19lb injectors, so will 24's be good enough

Is your harmonic balancer okay? Sounds like its focked.


As for what you can do for more power with out spending a lot of money, its hard to say...there probably isn't much you can do but improve the driving(launch) and tune it. Porting/replacing the heads or a 'wild' cam with an upgraded valve train wouldn't fall under "cheap".

As for the balancer, you can get the low down by asking the windsor forum of www.corral.net/forums . One brand is cheap chineese stuff, but I forget which.

The GT40 heads are great.... for their time... which is 30 years ago! Its just a kissing cousin of the old 351W heads, much like the stock GT E7 heads are kissing cousins to the old 289 hi-po heads. By todays standard, they're lacking "as cast" compared to Canfields, AFR's, Trick Flows, ect. As for tuning, scan the computer for codes, get an adjustable fuel pressure regulator and a timing light... then hit the track! That combo should make about 255ish RWHP, you probably will need 24 lbs injectors but I haven't crunched the numbers.
