Winters are long in Northern Ontario, so I was looking for a fun winter project. I had ported the opening of the inlet to better match the adaptor for the bigbore monoblade throttle body, but I thought I would do the rest of the inlet. I know I won't see huge gains because I only did the inlet...
I was looking for a project to do this winter and I thought i would port/polish the inlet on my 3.4 Whipple. I thought it was going to be easy since the inlet is a seperate piece from the rotor housing.
I was wrong.
I got all the bolts out off the inlet, but I could not get it seperated from...
Here is a video of my car on they dyno last weekend. I bought the car in 2010 and slowly modified it over the years. I've changed the blower 4 times, but I haven't touched the clutch Its amazing the stock clutch is holing up with this much power and mileage.
Last year I replaced the O2 sensors with new ones from the dealer. They said the ones for my 2010 were discontinued, but had a replacement sensor.
After I put them in, the car would run good for about 10 seconds, then it would start running poorly for about 20 seconds, then it would clear up...
I sold my 1952 REO 5 ton army truck this weekend. I've owned it for 8 years and I haven't touched it, so it was time to go to someone who could finish it. It hadn't run in about 3 years or moved in about 5, but it only took about 1 hour to get it running....I though that was pretty good lol...
Probably the last cruise of the year for me up in North Bay, Ontario, Canada. The weather forecast is calling for rain/wet snow for the next 10 days and I usually pull the insurance for Nov 1st. Made a quick vid of the fall colors and walked around the car.
Here is a compilation video from the race I competed in on the weekend. I am glad that my buddy with his Hellcat Challenger decided to come as well...even though he whooped me lol. Lots of nice high end cars to see and see how fast they were.
Link to the race is in the video description. They...
I get a lot of people asking me how the traction is with the big 345/30R20 Pilot sport 4S tires I have on the GT500. Usually they don't believe me when I say the traction is pretty good for a full street tire. I know it is nowhere near as good as a Cup2 or a M/T, but I like to do a lot of...
My friend with the supercharged C6 added long tube headers to his car over the winter, so he wanted to redo the exhaust battle we did last year. His system is American Racing long tube headers/catless X and Corsa mufflers. My GT500 system is American Racing headers/Catted X and 3" MBRP race...
My buddy picked up a modified Hellcat Challenger last last year, so we got together to have some fun and see whos car sounds better. My 2010 Shelby GT500 has American Racing 1 7/8ths headers/Catted X and a 3" MBRP Race Series cat back. The Hellcat has long tube headers/ catless mid pipe and a...
I had a Stainless Works Retro 3" catback on my car for about 8 years now and although I did like how it sounded, I wanted to change it to something different. I ended up buying a MBRP 3" race catback.
My car has American Racing 1 7/8" headers and a 3" catted X pipe so I was surprised how deep...
Hi Guys I just finished my first exhaust battle of 2022 in the books....and it was against myself.
Full idle/rev and drive-by comaprison with my old Stainless Works Retro exhaust against my new MBRP RACE exhaust system.
This really needs to be played back on headphones or a sound system to...
I had my Stainless works Retro 3" cat back system on my car for 8 years. I loved how it sounded but I was ready for a change. I knew I wanted to stay away from more raspy sounding systems and I ended up getting a MBRP 3" race system. Here is a short video on the install and how it sounds at...
I have been dealing with a part throttle drivability issue for a while now. Its right at the throttle position that most city and hiway driving occurs.
I conducted an experiment to see if I could fix the issue and i succeeded. Here is how I did it with the help of some Play-doh.

Hey guys
I filmed another exhaust battle with the GT500, but this time against some GM products.
Unfortunately I messed up again and somehow didn't record the intro and the G8 revs...which were really loud. I'm sure i'll be able to film them again later
My buddy and I went out to a deserted section of road and did an exhaust comparison video. My 2010 has American Racing 1 7/8 Long tubes, 3" catted X and 3" Stainless Works Retro Cat Back. My buddy's 2012 has Kooks 1 7/8 Mid length headers and catted 3" X with stock midpipes and Borla S-type...
A few weeks ago, the heat exchanger pump failed in my car. It took me a few days to figure out what was wrong because it doesn't actually trigger a CEL.
I made a video and talked about the symptoms I saw and the replacement of the pump.
Things got alittle crazy out at Helltour ranch this weekend. The Minty Taurus challenged the green civic to a long, steep sandy hill climb with lots of washed out sections.
Does the Minty Taurus stay undefeated or is the green civic finally going to take a win?????
you send it!!!!!!!!.
This was just a test run of some of the things we want to film.
He is getting a junker too, so we can race and do time trials...stay tuned for more soon.
