hey, anytime! i forgot to mention that i do have alittle more cam than stock, with 1.6 roller rockers, and full length hedmans with 2 1/2 inch cutouts, into a pestkey cat. conv. (for smog) with a split pipe, into dynomax ultra flows.
ignition is msd hei w/ 6a box with a timing adjuster in the car. (for whenever the moment strikes) to go from 18* to 20 somthing +? all at the turn of a knob.
the stage 2 makes a hell of difference being tuned for more romp.
stage 3 might be to much unless you have a hardcore highly modified 403.
stage 1 is almost stock. which is what id recomend, unless you got some mods.
the stock 403 dosent really respond to carb and head mods much. i mean, it does... but not like when i upgraded the cam to somthing alittle bigger. (its like a beast bangin on the hood sceaming to let him out).
within the reasons of the local smog laws. i choose a cam wisely! and with true duel exhaust, thats like letting the beast out! and thats where my cutouts come in.
and to much intake will kill the engine. literally! its not a high rpm engine! but its a low rpm ground pounder thats for sure! the edelbrock rpm is to tall anyways, if you want your shaker to still be conected to the engine. (which is what im about).
so the only other choice out there for the CA streets is a eddy perfromer.
but.....ive heard that there is a old eddy torquer intake that is no longer made that will work with the shaker. ive never seen one with my own eyes tho.
anywho....this is what ive done to get my 10th annv. to go alittle fster, and stay drivable for long drives. thu personal experiences and money.... :lol: ive whatched my stock 403 get more and more. some things worked, and some were a waist of hard earned dollars. but ive watched it burn some rubber, and then burn some more rubber, and then burn a few transmissions. lol... im still workin on that part... but there is great thed on the site about a th400 upgrade. and thats what sharing info on this site is all about.
keep sharing info!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes... ido like my stage 2 tho.
