Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) A couple questions

[JHastings]

Hi I was thinking about sliding my #10 plate forward to get a bit more power. I was wondering if that will really increase my egt's. Right now I can hit 1250-1300 if I stay in it for a while. Also, I am getting about 33-34psi. How many psi is the hx35 good for reliably? Also any guesses at what kind of hp numbers I am seeing and whether my LUK moderate duty clutch will hold when I tow my 8000# trailer? Finally, I need to bump my timing b/c I think it has really slipped. Anyone live on the cenral coast that would be willing to help me or rent me their timing kit for an afternoon?

Thanks in advance.

Jamie

Sounds like the same numbers I get out of mine (homeground #10), but I make 40psi max with my hx35 and 1300-1350 comes up quick, but no higher. The hx35 is good for 40psi at very short bursts. headgasket is also good for the same (heh) I wouldnt go with any more fuel without a bigger huffer tho.



I would guess I`m at around 215-230 max, but not having been on a dyno, I dunno. My timing is at 16. 5degrees also.



as for the clutch, I dunno. I got a built auto, works real sweet for whatever I hang on the back. .
