    4 GN Wheels/Tires/Caps/lug Nuts

    I have 4 decent GN wheels that I just took off my car. I purchased new lug nuts, new GN center caps and new tires and only have about 3500 miles on them. My car stays in the garage so the tires are great shape BUT they were all installed about 14 years ago. The wheels have marks from a tire...

    Ported Intake....Does It Matter?

    I am putting on a set of ported stock heads on a stock short block. The engine does not have a cam so it will need a roller. Will the stock manifold be a "flow" problem? I have the engine and heads already so I am putting this into my car because my original engine is dying. I would like to be...

    Turbo V6--what about a Turbo v8?

    Our cars are amazingly fast. Wouldn't you think that something similar to the Buick V6 but in a V8 be faster? I'm thinking the power to weight ratio is why the Buick is fast. Any ideas?:rolleyes:

    Roller Cam...What is involved?

    I want to run a roller cam instead of a flat tappet. What needs to be done for the switch? I have a stock motor and am looking for a set of heads to port but I am not sure of what needs to be done for a roller setup. Thanks

    How to clear tank vent tube?

    I always hear lots of pressure when I loosen my gas cap. When I changed out my fuel pump I tried to blow shop air though the vent line and nothing! I tried to blow air from the front (canister) and nothing. Anybody have this problem? I wonder if bugs/dirt are built up inside:mad:

    FMIC vs SLIC

    Besides the possible cooling issue (blocking air flow to radiator), would'nt a front mount be more efficient? If two people had identical TR's but one was a nice SLIC, the other a nice FMIC, within the first 5 minutes of driving they would feel pretty much the same, am I right? BUT after 30-40...
