    Adjustable fuel pressure regulator

    If you are running carburated then you need to run a low pressure, high volume pump. If you are running fuel injection then the fuel pressure doesn't really matter, you set the injector duty cycle via the fuel map for whatever specific volume of flow you need. Fuel injection is done best...

    COPO 2012 Camaro SEMA Release

    Around 1 BAR and you'd probably be safe, gonna have to pull alot of timing. Density will be a big factor ... alot of people overlook density and focus on pressure.

    COPO 2012 Camaro SEMA Release

    With the size of the pistons in most V8s you're going to run into alot of detonation issues, couple high compression with 20 lbs. of boost and you'd need 116+ octane leaded race gas to get that thing down the road without exploding.

    ZR1 Beware: ’13 Viper Steps Up V10 Cubes, Horsepower

    Why dabble ... make that hoe a 10.0L V10 with twin GT42Rs and make about 2500rwhp and see how many coked up rockstars you can permaban from life with it.

    Oil Life Monitor Question

    If it's accessible, there's no major harm in changing the oil filter at every 3000 miles. The oil itself technically will last forever (synthetic), but the additives package in the oil does get consumed. Some of the oil also gets turned to carbon via blow-by past the rings and/or windage...

    Woohooo getting a cam for my 5.3!!

    Cool! ... A cam wakes up a V8 like no other, I think you'll love it. Match it with some long tubes and it should scream.

    OFFICIAL 2012 ZL1 horsepower figures UPDATED post #16

    At 4120 lbs. the only reason why it remotely handles worth a shit is because of the HUGE tires they put on it. After a few corners it's going to handle like a boat because you'll be overworking them. It weighs 1000 lbs. more than a damn Corvette ... are they making the doors out of lead?

    Honda's First Million-Mile Accord

    100% if you drive a Cavalier. The shame builds until you decide to end the pain. About 20% with an Accord.

    Subaru rated "Most Gay Friendly" automaker

    I drive an STi ... it has pink stuff all over it, but I also have a girlfriend. Perhaps I am not the demographic that Subaru is pushing for, LOL.

    Woohooo getting a cam for my 5.3!!

    Reusing bolts depends on their torque value. If you've overtorqued them then they've likely plasticized and elongated. Pull them out and measure them to the millimeter for compliance. Tightening in steps and to the correct value for the grade of stud / bolt is vital.

    Woohooo getting a cam for my 5.3!!

    I beg to differ ... the amount of air volume you are pulling through the port is significantly higher than what those heads are supporting. Most V8 tuners and owners are spoiled by large displacement. Displacement makes life easy, but it also makes your boundaries seem closer than they really...

    Tire Thread - for a car

    Mileage warranty = tread compound softness + friction curve A "hard" tire will last forever, have moderate to poor traction, and should do alright in alot of downpour and snow due to the tire maintaining it's tread depth. Presuming it's compound doesn't plasticize in the cold weather (which an...

    Yeah, that's what I had in mind for the tails, but it's evidently a giant PITA to install.

    First New Car

    The USDM models have an unequal length exhaust manifold that gives out a weird sound. WsrYvQOeLE4 That's what they sound like with an exhaust. Here's the Japanese market car with an exhaust setup. They run a 2.0L engine with a twin scroll turbo setup and equal length manifolds...

    First New Car

    It basically is a station wagon, just automakers don't call them that any more ... it's a "5-Door Hatch" ... LOL. It's fun to drive and I can fit stuff in it. That's what I was looking for.
