    LS6 springs, cam and heads

    I have a 00 LS1, so far it only has bolt on modifications (LS6 intake, headers etc) I picked up from a local shop a perfect condition 02 LS6 cam and a set of 01 LS6 heads. I know that the 01 LS6 heads dont have the lighter valves but are they the same length as the 02+ LS6 valves. Also, the...

    GM performance oil pump

    Has anyone ever used this particular pump. It is GM part #17801830. All I ever see people talk about is the LS6 pump or a melling but this one is advertised as a high volume standard pressure pump for the LS engine. They are all over the internet for like 80 bucks shipped which is considerably...

    Bullets gotta go

    My wife has decided that the B&B bullets are just too loud for her. Id like to either trade for something a little quieter or even a stock z06 ti system or sell them out right for 500 plus shipping. They are 3 months old with maybe 1000 miles on them. It is the dual tip system.

    dang it

    long story short, pothole hidden by water puddle plus wet road equals busted fender. I can get a new one relatively cheap and have it painted or try to hold out for a used black one to swap right in. Any idea on the estimated cost to replace paint a fender?

    crossed over to C5

    Up until now I have always hung out in the C3 section trying to keep this one on the road. Today I brought this one home to add to the headache:D The hard part is going to be seeing how long I go before I start doing anything to it.

    stainless vs ceramic sidepipes for heat control

    I am debating with myself over sidepipes. I am either going to get a set of stainless for my 454 from the Superpowers guy that is selling the XS power brand (proven to fit perfectly) or a set of sterling ceramic coated from jet hot. I got an email from jet hot today saying that hooker has...

    back to korea

    So my R&R is over and in a day or so I have to go back to S Korea. There is nothing that makes you realize how much you like the States and miss your family than living in a 3rd world country for a year. Aside from a speedo cable that decided to break (easy fix at least) the new engine in...

    speedo cable

    does the tranny care of the speedo cable is unhooked. I have the two piece cable version in my 72. The lower section internal cable kinked up and snapped in half. Will it mess up the drive gear in the tranny if I drive the car without that square rod inserted into the hole for the speedo...

    F/S edelbrock BB heads

    I have been posting lately about doing a head swap and having a shop tighten them down so much it destroyed a valve. I ended up deciding to just go ahead and buy a crate motor because I didnt want to deal with the possible damages. Turns out the heads are in a lot better shape than even the...

    BB torker II intake

    I took this off of my 454 to replace it with the LS6 version. It is in great condition with no cracks or breaks. All it needs is to be cleaned up and repainted. The exhaust crossover has been filled in with plaster of paris. If you are wanting to convert your spreadbore to a square bore and...
