Cars & Transportation - 21 June 2006

We run a turbocharged, small block equipped Mustang that is set up to drive on the street a little bit and race a lot. It made a tad over 1000hp last year with a small hyd. roller cam. This year we're going to a solid roller cam, but it's a "low lash" roller, supposedly streetable, with .010 hot lash. The cam grinder has recommended valve spring pressure in the 180 range on the seat and around 450 or so open. Everyone I talk to says I should be running at least 250 on seat and 600 open (with a solid roller and 25psi of boost). Anyone have any thoughts on this? This is a big difference in spring pressure, and big difference in the cost associated with other components which I feel are necessary with 600psi open, like shaft rockers and large diameter pushrods. Please advise.

I have a 1994 Acura Integra manual transmission with a lot of miles on it (264,000), and it has the original clutch. Recently, it has been 'stalling' out after driving it a few miles. (not really stalling, but you'll see what I mean).
What happens is that after a few miles, 3 or 4, the check engine light comes on, and the car shuts off. At this time I pull off the road, and try to restart it, and it doesn't restart. After 5 minutes I try again and it goes.
The other day I brought it in, but they didn't find anything wrong with it, and couldn't get it to 'stall' out.

I would like to know if anyone here knows what it wrong with my car. Thank you.
