    Essential gauges for your Terminator?

    Don't forget you can set an SCT X4 up to show up to 8 (?) items. Problem is finding a nice place to mount it.

    Thoughts on 8-10 year old Explorers

    I have had my 2016 Limited for a while (2019?), really like it and the only problem I've had with it are the engine mounts failing a couple years ago. Don't get the stupid air suspension.

    2009 Pontiac G8 GXP | Retro Review

    Great cars. Wish I still had my GT. Too bad Holden wasn't capable of putting a beefy wheel/tire under anything they imported here.

    Picked up an S197

    Played around with control arm angles today, middle hole is the best for me right now. Bottom hole was twitchy, squealed tires on downshifts, and I think I don't have enough shock/spring for as hard as it hits the tires

    B head porting

    Spend the $ on cams and a stock intake modified to short runners It seemed like the Livernois ported B heads were never that well accepted, and with all the stories people report about them lately having heads full of machining debris etc you're probably better off.

    3.0 Whipple Question

    Doesn't get that hot. I ran no blanket on turbo cars where people said the paint would come off and it never did. Those can get glowing hot (manifold at least)

    Picked up an S197

    False alarm...as I hooked the boost gauge back up, I noticed something. It reads 2-3in of vac when the car isn't even on. Makes sense because I thought it was funny that the car showed 22-23in vac at a warm idle. I'll just remember to get an AutoMeter gauge at some point.

    Picked up an S197

    Chasing down a little issue where I am only seeing about 6lbs of boost on the initial hit. It seems to go up a little but it's hard to keep an eye on the gauge, the tach, and the road at redline to see where the boost is at... 3.73, 3rd gear is 98mph at 7500rpm Put a new belt on, didn't make...

    Any Diabetics?

    Lisiniporol here too (whatever it's called) Funny thing is when I lived with my vegan x 10 years ago I was 185lbs, ride my bike 20 miles almost every day...and my BO went sky high and I had to be out on meds (it was 200) On meds it's in the 120-130, resting heart rate is 90's, I don't drink or...

    Are G-Body Cars extinct?

    I'd take a Monte SS or Cutlass Supreme All the ones I see are either rusted, trashed, donked out, and they all want $10,000-15,000. I remember being able to get a somewhat clean one for $3,500 Something like this? http://www.ls7montess.com/ LS-something in it of course. And a full suspension...

    Any Diabetics?

    I had the thirst thing going on...knew what was coming. Went to the doctor at the end of last year and they said I was pre-diabetic. Between halloween candy and who knows what else I knew I had been eating pretty bad. Anyway, I quit drinking my daily 1 or 2 cokes (still hit the candy a little...

    Tire questions for my 2013 Shelby GT500. I'm currently running Nitto NT555 G2s with 285/35ZR20s in the back. Have the 265s up front.

    I know people will run a 275/60 on a 15x8 (and a 15x10) And I know the 305/45 is common on a 17x10 But I had a 315x35 on a 17x10.5, and really it was too wide and I wasn't using all the width (at least that's how it seemed). I would have liked to try a 275 on that wheel. Then you guys have...

    Boost vs CFM

    One thing I remember guys saying about the YSi, how if you weren't running at least 20lbs (or whatever the 'magic' number was), the YSi wasn't worth it. I remember people saying that the blower didn't even "seal up" j til you got it hot enough and ran high enough pressures or something like...

    Won't a 305 on a 9.5" be kind of pointless since the whole section width won't be touching the ground?

    Boost vs CFM

    Depends on the efficiency of the blower in the range you are running it at. S trim is going to beat out a YSi at the low HP levels.
