    OEM intercooler fan... Pusher or puller?

    Have one of these tack welded to a trans cooler. Bench tested it pushing and pulling. I can't tell a difference in flow. How are they setup from the factory? thanks!

    School me on hydraulic lifters….

    Are Hyd. Lifters basically “pumped up” 100% during WOT operation? Could excessive oil pressure cause valve train issues on hyd lifters? Say 120+psi? First, this is a GM 5.3 LS motor, not a buick. Same rules apply I’d think. And I always come back to my buick crowd for basic engine information...

    Line Lock troubles

    I'm working with master cyl. It has two ports off the dist. block for the front brakes and one to the back. I figured I'd use the back line to install the line lock, as it would be easier. I thought the line lock solenoid was just a simple ON/OFF valve. So instead of putting the line lock...

    Is the official pace car writing on the doors of these cars under the clear coat? Or is it something easily removed? Thanks

    Setting up custom headlights in my hybrid, What am I missing? (wiring)

    So with my lights setup like this diagram. Low beam works great and is bright. When I switch to high beam All the lights come on but they are dim. The way I have it wired the high (top lights) should come on brightly and the bottom shouldn't come on at all. Some how I'm back feeding to all 4...

    Injector Amperage issue? (Bailey Modified Low-Z ECM)

    Just had the ECU checked by Bob a few months back. Car has been running fine since. Last weekend it started running rough. After a little trouble shooting I found the #1 injector was not firing. I'm getting full voltage at the plug. Noid light flickers just fine on the no.1 inj. lead. So I...

    High boost flame propagation and Ign Lead.

    So I’ve read quite a bit on timing and boosted engines. It is constantly mentioned that the more boost you run, the less lead is required. It is then briefly explained that the added pressure in the CC causes the mixture to burn more quickly. I don’t see an explanation as to why it burns faster...

    WTT .63 P trim 3 bolt Exh housing for larger.

    I think I’m at the point where I’d make serious gains with a larger housing. Trapped 136mph with this one at 28psi. Let me know what you have. Looking only for buick 3-bolt style housings. I believe there is a .83 and precision makes a .85 for the 65 trim "P" wheel. Precisions .85 housing is...

    Max Valve spring pressure on OEM Valve train? (low rpm 5800)

    Think I'm floating valves with my current setup in sig. Around 28psi. Currently run 110# springs. Less than 50 miles on them. Car seems to break up at anything over 25 and get worse as boost rises. No knock. Really doubt it's plugs. I think I'm just runnign to much boost for my cam/boost...

    Importance of ignition advance in high boost applications?

    I’ve been snooping around the small engine boards and keep running into huge power being made with very little timing and very high boost. I thought it odd I’ve never seen low timing and much over 20psi in the larger V6-V8 engine community, but it’s very common to see high timing and low boost...

    Sudden bog under boost, engine falls flat on its face.

    (combo in sig) So after winter storage I had some issues with an injector not firing. Sent out the ECU to have driver replaced and the car starts up and idles and drives perfect. All scan master items in check. MAF readings are normal. Only CEL error is a code 23. Which I always have. I'm...
