    Questions about putting my Z06 on the dyno?

    ;LOL ;LOL ;LOL Now THAT'S funny!! Wanna go for a ride?? ;) :D :lou As for the dyno question, I bet you're leaving 20 or more rwhp on the table. As Todd said, time for a tune... Don't even use comp mode on the dyno, turn AH/TC off completely.

    Catch Cans Work...

    There's no doubt the blower is a big factor, though it's pretty well documented that all LSX motors are prone to oil ingestion through the PCV system. I'd look at a CC as a precaution in any event. As for my car, my rings are starting to go. I'm either gonna do just forged pistons or go full...

    Catch Cans Work...

    Here's a shot of one installed on the front of the head. You can see the plumbing better in this shot: It goes between the valley cover PCV outlet and the throttle body inlet. Here's a link to AMW's site: http://www.accmachtech.com/pcvcatchcans.htm

    Catch Cans Work...

    I installed an AMW catch can on my Z last weekend. After about 100 miles of "Spirited" driving, this is what I found in the can: This is going back through your intake track!! These things work. I mounted mine on the battery partition because I don't have much room with my blower. They...

    computer question

    How'd I miss this thread? gsmi837 you need to get your Z to a good tuner and have it dyno tuned. With all the work you've done (especially head work) your fuel trims are probably all out of whack. As the others have stated, I bet you're leaving 20 or 30 rwhp on the table, not to mention the...

    When to Change Oil

    I run Red Line 10W-30 year round. What my tuner recommends. I stopped listening to mine when I was about 15! ;LOL

    My New CF Stuff...

    Nah, Bud Light... :m Actually it's the mounting point for the side bar of my role bar. I leave 'em out unless I'm going to the track. The thing you see in the picture is a brushed aluminum cover that goes over the exposed steel when the bar is out. Here's a shot of it in place as it was...

    Borla Exhaust

    You'll see very little gain in performance over the stock TI system (a few horse at best.) If you're looking for a performance gain, save your money for long tubes. Now sound is another matter. "Stingers" will scare small children and animals. My six year old runs out of the garage when he...

    new rings???

    I haven't heard about this in anything newer than an '01. I had my engine valley cover replaced before I did my blower. If you remove your throttle body, do you have oil in your intake? That's how I found out about the valley cover replacement. I was installing a ported throttle body and found...
