Its possible to run an engine on pre-ignition, from reading a lot of smokey yunick's old stuff. His fiero is still up and running today. The concept is to start the engine normally, preheat the fuel to x degrees and keep heating and pressurizing the cylinders to the point of preignition...

heres a heads up for the texas folks who may have been using laser jammers: http://www.legis.state.tx.us/tlodocs/82 ... 01116F.pdf now a class c misdemeanor if using a jammer.

Went through a period where I thought smoking cigs was cool but found it was too much money for not enough tobacco. I started out with marlboro reds. After that I used red man forever, and I liked it, doesn't get all over your teeth and everything huge clean natural leaves. Just bought a pack...

I found this little company googling, I'm sure some guys know about it on here. Check out those flow numbers, very impressive. http://www.araoengineering.com/pakages.htm#C-Series are there any other 32v variants in the aftermarket? Any lt5 style heads available? not that I'd buy any of this...

I'm putting this in general discussion so it shows up on the forum home if people post, I think a lot of people can gain info from this and we can spread the knowledge, it can be about g bodies or engines or suspension or anything thats pertinent to furthering our auto understanding. This book...

I have a clearance problem with my rockers, they were recommended for the springs I have and lashed/installed correctly but I have two that slightly rub the top of the spring retainer. I checked clearances after the engine was made and broken in at first but it settled some more now that I've...

I'm thinking about running a start button in a center console panel when I get or make one. Would this deter someone trying to steal the car? Would run a hot wire for solenoid around the opposite side of the car/main engine harness so its more difficult to hotwire from under the dash...

Anybody have pictures of non - dual pigtail rear springs on their 4 link g body? and/or how you set up your conversion, advice going about doing it. Thanks!

Welcome! there's tons of information and opinions on here just start browsing and searching, its fun and sometimes give me headaches too

First let me say I've never had a fast car before, at least not this fast. I'm liking this car a lot (2.14 rear). Was driving into town today and a c6 corvette pulled up next to me going about 50mph, I guess he thought I was revving at him but I was just stepping on the throttle a little to...

G bodies have to be the funnest cars out there. Mine isn't even street legal and only drive it once a week to tune it a little. Every time there's something different a kid on a bike making the handlebar rev signs, or a lady doing her gardening giving me dirty looks or an older guy laughing or...

like it says, should I make my own or get a fiberglass hood. Won't be doing this till may either way. Fiberglass vfn hood 4" cowl without support, or make my own aluminum hood with cowl for about 60% of the price. And a bunch of rivets

Been a while since I posted on here, am getting married so the whole big $$ cutlass thing isnt going to work out :blam: at least not anytime soon. I have the 383 still its been 2 years now since I built it, still got low mileage. I'm just at the point to where the car can be inspected and be...

Like the title says, whats the quietest flow through or performance oriented muffler out there. Doesnt have to be the best, just better than a normal one. I can't tune my truck properly cuz Im always registering false spark knock at peak torque around 3000rpm and the damn computer starts...

here's the car with some new fiberglass, trunk deck lid, rear clip, pro front end, fe3x front air dam, still waiting on the 4" cowl hood. messed around with some extra paint with the flames, it's temporary but gives it a nice look I decided the entire car is going to be metallic red with 2...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2002-07- ... 483b9201c9 I thought yall might get a kick out of this one.

I've been working for a while and I'm real busy at this point, don't have much time to work on my cars any more. But the good news is I'm making good money. For the first time I can realistically pay a body shop to do a quality job on the car, and it'd save me a ton of work. I haven't been...

Hello guys, I use Royal Purple 5W30 on my truck engine. It feels a lot of vibration for just being a truck, and also for being a manual. It might be a placebo effect but I feel less vibration after changing the oil in this thing. Why does synthetic oil thin out so much when it gets old...

I was driving along in my truck real late (or early), these teenage kids ride by makin hand signals to 'go'. I thought this was just another lexus that's going to be and easy kill... I drop the clutch and was ahead of him for maybe 2 seconds and the thing pulls on me like a mad dog. Granted...

Just bought one of these: http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com/product.php?p=2 It's a complete used kit for a 4.3 blazer/s10 and it'll be going on my 4.3 truck, might send the supercharger to vortech to have them check it out and rebuild it if needed. I have a merc marine manifold that has...
