What heads did you go with? How much they set you back?

Re: CRUCIAL118's 86 CUTTY TPI/HSR BUILD w/ VIDEO
I went with White's Performance, in-house aluminum heads. Checked the internet about them and they got good reviews. I payed $700 for them. Also got the rockers, pushrods, and head bolts from them. Very good guys there. If I could do it again, I wouldn''t get the angle plug heads again. Even though the Hedman headers that I have were listed for use on angle plug heads, they still need a little persuasion with a BFH 😀 .

Car looks great, seen your video and I'm interested in your gauge set-up; do you mind shedding so light thw wiring and what not?

Re: CRUCIAL118's 86 CUTTY TPI/HSR BUILD w/ VIDEO
I only used 6 wires for my gauges, all from connector 2(the connector on the left side of dash gauges, if looking at from driver's seat). (2)Black-ground, (3)Pink-fuel gauge, (10)Pink/Black-ignition input(aslo where I installed the inline resistor), (11)Lt Green-hi beam indicator, (12)Lt Blue-lh turn indicator, and (13)Dark Blue-rh turn indicator. The numbers associated with the wires are the pin numbers on the connectors. Each connector goes from 1-7(left to right) on the bottom row, and 8-14(right to left) on the top row.
I didn't use any of the wires for the sending units or tach in the connectors. I used the supplied wiring with the gauges I bought from Glowshift.com for the water temp, volt, oil pressure, and tach. I also ordered an electronic speedo sender(SUM-G2887-1) from Summitracing.com to use instead of a cable.
I bought the 2 green and 1 blue lights from Radio Shack. Don't forget to leave enough slack of wires to easily remove the gauge for servicing, if needed. And use ty-raps to make it look professional. 😀
Let me know if you need more info.
No problem. I have been going thru my computer, looking for pics that I took, but can't seem to find the file. The wiring was straight forward. I found a wiring label for each harness connection(behind the factory gauges)on this site. Can't remember where, but I believe it was on this site. I had the ralley pack gauges, so it was a little more intense, with the resistor(470 ohm/.5 watt) needed for my cs alternator.Dragonist said:

I know ya'll like videos, so here's a short video of my Holley Stealth Ram and cold air intake running...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wty-x_I_Fb0&feature=plcp. Next video is gonna be a burn out video. 😀

Thanks. And the guy that sold the wheels is a car guy with good contacts for restoration, body work, and electronics. He's part of the "Just Klownin" Car Club.Rasheerh said:

I'm now thinking about tuning my HSR. What are you guys with pre '96 FI using to tune? I am thinking of using the Ostrich 2.0 from Moates.net. I think I'll probably use TunerproRT. Is it something that is fairly easy to do?84sscutty said:
