Hi Guys!
I need a favor - can anyone steer me to a dyno of a Terminator at or near the 1000 HP level? - I recall seeing something in MM&FF, but I have been challenged on this, and need to know if I was wrong.

Some of you might be interested in some of my oil research and postings on ther above Forum. When I had my 2003 Cobra, I posted a lot on here, and much of it had to do with my specialty area of expertise.
On S2KI, I am Road...
These are the most comprehensive and recent ones I could find. They date to March 2003 and May 2003. I will post the numbers, add a comment or two, and answer any questions you may care to pose. These tests were commisioned by Amsoil, but since they use standardized ASTM protocols, they could...
Hi Y'all, I'm back to keep you appraised of all things oily. Been looking at all the pics of the new Stang and Vette - not sure I like the look of the Vette by the way - must see in person.

Maybe someone has already posted this, but it did not show in the Search I did.
Anyone else wonder of the Lysholm screw-type SC from the Ford GT will fit the Cobra?

Nice vid of a E55 AMG - I got to drive my brother's car a week ago, and it pulls very, very strong - brakes are amazing. The supercharger is much quieter than the Eaton.
The video car appears to pull to 260 kph - 160 mph or so...
Bought it from Intenseperformance.com ; excellent customer service, shipped fast.
I went with a red one, 9" to replace the AFE. I just liked the open element at the top of the filter.
The latest issue "clarifies" Ford's position on mods.
