Holy sh*t dude, thats one hell of a cam to make a caddy idle like that. Nice build

You guys are touching on all the points for why this looks like BS. An aftermaket performance parts place (thats not Ford or Chev or even MOPAR) has suddenly come out with carbon rods without any real info and a block capable of 4000hp after only being in business for a couple years. So i was...

This is a very open ended question, but what do you guys know about CF connecting rods? From what I understood this is very very new technology and save for F1 race teams basically no one has them. The ones I saw were being developed by Lambo (2017) in a forging type mfg process where the...

badass, thanks for the share. -Guy with a caddy in his buick

This one sure looks like it would work, but its not 100% like the original. https://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/oer-3843943/

Theres not really any room for "opinion" if you understand how it works. Its a valve with a material that's sensitive to temperature. When temp is reached, the material expands, and the valve begins to open. When the temp drops, it shrinks and the valve begins to close. Since its not instant...

Here is my wagon with T5 and 4.10's. We used a street tire of 255/45/17 if i remember correctly to keep the revs in a reasonable range. Highway was about 2200rpm at 65ish. The car had maybe 250hp. I used to say it went from Zero to Slow faster than anything else i ever drove. About the best...

The way you are measuring could account for it. The only way to measure is to use GPS or Google to figure out EXACTLY the distance you drove. And measure volume from Fillup-to-Fillup. Our tanks are not square, our gas gage and odometer arent that accurate. Garbage in garbage out. Remeasure with...

No more etest starting in april.

If you look at the chassis stiffening kit from Hellwig (Frame FX) for a CHEVELLE (not the G-body kit), this is in my opinion the most elegant and least invasive way to achieve strength for very little weight penalty. If you have studied what our chassis needs to be stiffer, they pretty much hit...

That doesnt seem right, so i watched the drag strip video. Spinny spinny, and lifted before the finish. That would explain it! I would think about a second quicker with that mph.

Sorry i didnt read every post, but been there done that. When my sh*t blew up, I strapped in for the long haul and rebuilt my motor. I went through the "while im here, i may as well's" and after a $5500 price tag ended up with a pretty stout package that im happy with. Took about 4 years to get...

Pull the spark plug out and shine a flash light in there , see if you can any liquid. If the piston is too far down, turn the engine over by hand till it isn't. What does it smell like ? Electrical or sweet? If sweet, its coolant and you have blown a head gasket

Not a G-body, but even a roller paint job can be beautiful.

Bump. Its that time again. Good luck to anyone taking the torture tests.
