Don't know which motor you're talking about, but on the Small Block the AFR 165 is one of the best heads available and can also be used on a 331 stroker; The AFR 185 can be used on the 331 / 347...

I had Yoko Avid S/T's on my FIA for about 4500 miles. Great tire, very true and balanced real well. Great street tire, and OK on the track (but not a racing tire). I just bought another set -- found...

I had Dunlop's on my 289FIA and a shimmy that wouldn't go away at 65 mph. Got a set of Yokohama Avid S/T's, and had them simply high speed balanced at a local shop (not even the Hunter ground force...

Came across Schaeffer Racing Oil on a web site that was analyzing various synthetic oils and additives. Schaeffer 20W-50 rated very well. Schaeffer 7000 also has two friction modifiers, Moly and...

Sounds like good input. I am taking her in in the AM to my friendly mechanic, along with new distributor cap, rotor, and Champion 2107 gold plugs. I will run over the recommendations with him. Thanks...

Just went from a bone stock 302 HO motor (from an '87 Mustang) to some modifications (slightly more cam, Trick Flow TW heads, and a Demon 575 Carb from Don Gould). Just curious as to the timing some...

Russ, what motor specs are you running? Just curious, as I also have a Unique 289 FIA, and love the car. Had the motor 'tweaked' going from stock 302, adding aluminum Trick Flow heads, a little more...

The hurricane season finally subsided and I was able to get my car into my mechanic. Installed the Trick Flow Twisted Wedge heads, a new Racer Brown cam with a little more lift and duration than the...

Happy Thanksgiving from Miami. Sunday morning, took the FIA over to Starbucks at 7:30 AM for an early morning coffee, and contemplated a drive down past the Homestead Speedway and back. Kept going to...

Rod, the fitting I saw was installed at the upper portion of the shaft. I'm going to contact Unique to order the unit in the next week.Rick

Met a Unique owner at the Reptile Roundup's high performance drivers school at the Gainesville speedway last Thursday who had purchased a Flaming River Vibration Resistor for his steering system. He...

Russ, I haven't heard anything from anyone with an FIA car. I really haven't focused on it seriously as I'm in the midst of trying to get my car into my mechanic for engine modifications. The...

Need to replace my Ammeter and my gauges are the "old style" SW gauges and my ammeter measures 2.75 inch diameter, vs. the "new" SW gauges that are 2.25 inch (face diameter). Anyone carry the "old"...

Am in the process of purchasing a helmet and a fire extinguisher in order to be legal for some track time. What are the specs pertaining to fire extinguishers for track use? Anything special? Thanks,...

Had a surprise this weekend. Went to Indianapolis for my neice's wedding, which was Saturday evening (a very nice wedding). Thought I would take advantage of being in Indy to visit the Speedway and...

Santiago, I'm glad you're OK. We have a lot of ficus trees down, and went without power until Sunday evening, but we're back up and just got our internet cable back today. We're good to go! I just...

Kirkey Racing seat co. has introduced a Vintage Class Bucket seat that looks pretty interesting. Aluminum seat with high tech padding and traditional stitching. Looks like it might be a good one!!...

Ralph, I believe you have me confused with another Rick. I was not fortuante enough to make it to this year's homecoming, as I had just gotten by FIA and was getting familiar with it to find out what...

There are a lot of ways to increase HP and I guess the big question is how you plan on using the car / motor. If you're doing it for full race intentions, you would probably go with a very aggressive...

Eliminator. Great!

Funny thing about them Phils, down here in Miami it's the Fred's. We have a tongue in cheek parade on New Years day in Coconut Grove, the King Mango Strut. It is a day of blasphemy, nothing is...

I'm putting in a new gas tank and it calls for a 1/4 inch to 5/16 inch hose barb adapter. I have found one in brass, but cannot find on in either steel or stainless. Any problems with using brass? My...

Slither, the original owner said he bought factory 2nds, and there is a serious shimmy at 65+- MPH. Considering getting a set of Yokohama Avids, after I get the new heads, cam & carb finished. The...

Thanks a lot Clay, the test worked! That is the 'other' 9299 with Biscayne Bay in the background. I sure would like to be able to take her up to Annapolis for a drive on the Chesapeake. We will have...
