    gas question

    Winter Blends will not enhance a pinging problem, more so correct it since ethanol is added. EGR valves sticking will cause low RPM sluggishness and stalling if the valve is stick open, but EGR in itself supports less pinging because combustion temps are lowered. Fuel pressure would throw a...

    Air suspension, help?

    Done many a S10 drop using bags in which the Gbody uses the same suspension. Trucks are pretty bad themselves but a relocated set of shocks on a G body will kill it!! Save the money and do a Shock Wave type air bag and shock on the front, rear doesn't matter!!

    Does a K & N Filter improve engine performance?

    No they do not offer a performance gain at all. "IF" you actually need more air flow than the stock unit offers, then run a taller filter setup. They let dirt into your engine a paper unit will not, PERIOD end of story!! Fancy filters are just a way to make a profit!!! If your really looking...

    Nascar nowadays....

    Oh I full well know since the advent of rules in NASCAR is when the cheating began thats why IMO opinion it sucks. The 2 named I stated were the winningest drivers for their time in the sport and they cheated also and more often caught over the years than any other driver. How would they have...

    Nascar nowadays....

    Nascar lost its luster in the 70's for me. Cheating became the way to win races and no was better for it at the time than someone known as the King called Petty. Teams used every imaginable way to win. Oversized fuel lines to carry a little more gas. Compounds put on the tires during pitstops to...

    350 cam question

    No not really. The stall speed will depend on how much power it'll end up making and where the cam choice puts that power. The factory stall would be enough, but if you pushed the powerband up then you might want to go up a few hundred rpm in stall speed!

    350 cam question

    The 416's and 081's will flow somewhere near 200 CFM+ @ .500 lift. On the exhaust side 120 or so @ .500 lift. The highly prevalent 882 heads of a 350 which are about the only ones you can get cheap can't even match those numbers. 200 CFM in the intake side can take a motor up to 325+ H.P. with...

    350 cam question

    Whoa a little bit! 416's and 081 HO 305 heads may not be the best heads, but pretty decent heads supporting 325+ ponies in stock form. There are not that many 350 heads that are much better until you've dropped alot more coin than what he got them for. The most prevalent 350 heads sub $300...

    Addtional Braces for 1986 MCSS

    There is also aftermarket under engine braces that are more well made than the factory ones. Yes thats one step up. Even with the F41 bars the frame horn still flex's from the force applied by the steering box and the one I stated I had and this one really stops any movement at all. This...

    Auto Parts Store Rant

    Exactly , just something to wipe the old behind with. Someone brought up technology changes and people getting ripped off from the not knowing. Even with ASE certification this goes on worse today than it did before. I can't count the number of times I have heard and seen that when a car throws...

    Auto Parts Store Rant

    HUM, last post removed!! ANYONE can pass a ASE test as long as they study and have half a brain and some mechanical ability. They offer books very much along the lines of ones for passing a GED because its that hard, er simple! I'm sorry if this offends, but back in my day mechanics didn't...

    Addtional Braces for 1986 MCSS

    There is one that ties the 2 front frame horns together I believe Kirban is where I got mine is a must. I had read these frames separate badly when you steer which the F41 braces on the front don't come close to fully fixing. There right this piece which triangulates the front made a wild...

    corvette air for sale

    I laughed so hard when I saw it listed. He poked at everybody and I can't blame him one bit and actually it might be something I would do. Poked at the judges and poked at Ebay and its patrons. How many times I see $.98 resistors 4.7K ohm resistors in some kind of box advertising 60 H.P. gains...

    Auto Parts Store Rant

    I have no rant because I now find going to any store, anywhere you will get the same thing. I thank continuing education and the computer age for it. Too many degreed people that can't find jobs with the degree they have so their stuck doing this stuff which is equal payback for not learning...
