The current motor in Robs LS1 is built for a turbo. Its not even turned up yet. Trust me, there will be very few members here faster than that car. And I'd seriously bet that it got built for 1/2 what an equally fast S2 car would cost to build. I'd trade Rob my GN and my mustang for that car! I...

When I was in high school I got pulled over 22, count 'em, 22 times for absolutely nothing. This is over a 1.5 year period folks. The cops harrassed me because I was a young kid with nice cars. I had no police record what so ever. One cop in particular pulled me over quite a few times. He would...

I think it comes on about 4-6 psi. Could be the sender is disconnected for use with your gauge. I'd be worried if my oil psi was that low.

Guys really need to do a search on this before posting. If you try to spray the ic with CO2, more than likely your motor will ingest it, especially under boost, and it will inhibit combustion. If you want to spray with nitrous, go at it, but your motor may ingest that too, which may not be good...

No, 3" single shot is the "bad boy". Louder, lighter, and you're only gonna flow what the dp puts out, which in most cases is a 3" pipe. I ditched a 3" crossflow for a single shot and knocked probably 25 lbs off the car. Performance wise, you will never see a gain from a single 3" to a dual 3"...

Dude, you can run whatever boost you want in any of the classes. The 24 psi thing is a joke, maybe an "inside" joke. People have been known to lie a little when it comes to how much boost it takes to make their number. Boost has nothing to do with your bottom end build up, its just a matter of...

Thanks for the help so far guys. I replaced the stat yesterday, no help. Tonight I'm going to put a larger spacer on the fan to bring it closer to the radiator and further into the shroud. Everything is new with 1700 miles on it. I'm also going to try another guage, just in case. Right now I'm...

My buddy just bought a nicely restored 64 Impala SS clone, with a rebuilt 283 and all new cooling system components. New radiator, hoses, stat, fan, etc. He brought it over last night, and I noticed this thing is running close to 220! I checked the coolant, its full, and clean, and the hoses...

If you think your car handles good with an ATR bar, try the HR bar and see what you're missing. I felt from the moment I put the ATR bar on that the car was very out of control, it always felt like it was getting loose and sideways, even when just barely moving. I was actually scared to take it...

I have the 4" ESP unit and mine also fits fine with no iac mods.

Just wondering how often and what process to clean the filter in your kit? Or is it replaceable?

Interesting read. I like the part where he says methanol is not practical because its expensive and unavailable. Its about 1/5 of the price of that denatured alcohol he likes. Not to mention available at most racing fuel supply places. I think he is focusing more on the charge cooling, not the...

Its the turbo. Mine went bad at 1000 miles. Not sure what you mean by "typical" oil in the ic? There should be no oil in there, unless you are still running the pass. side breather into the turbo inlet, which I doubt. Anyway, get the turbo rebuilt and you'll be fine, or use this as a chance to...

I'm going to be running methanol in an alky injection kit, which is not what we're talking about here, I know. But I bought the remainder of a 55 gallon drum off my buddy who is getting out of the car stuff. He has a blown big block on meth, and its full of block filler. The intake would be ice...

He is already using a HD actuator. My guess would be even if you could turn that turbo up more, wouldn't it be so far out of its efficient operating range that it wouldn't matter? I'm with Woody on this one......
