    anyone refinish their valve covers?

    i am curious as to what i would have to do to put a black crinkle finish on my valve covers. i would hate to do it while the engine is out and have the finish come off on me. does anyone have a DIY success story?

    how to avoid vacuum leaks

    when i change out my plenum and put my egr blockoff plate on, should i use any rtv or gasket spray? the egr gasket is steel and i don't want to put it on and cause a vacuum leak.

    how wide can i go on a 28" street slick?

    just like the title says.... i ran a friend's set of MT 26x11.5x17 e/t streets last weekend and hooked pretty well. it looked like i had room for a lot more tire underneath. i would like to go with a 12.5 wide, but MT only makes them in a 28" height. would i be able to fit them? i'm...

    fun race weekend

    i spent the weekend at the drags in bitburg, germany. the track is probably the worst that i have ever heard of. it is unprepped and has a pretty drastic uphill grade to it. that being said.... i pulled three consecutive 12.1's today and all three had 1.6 60ft times. i got a set of e/t...
