    How to tell if you have solid lifters?

    Assuming the block & casting numbers are correct...what is an easy way to tell if an LT-1 has solid lifters? Yes, I know all LT-1's came with solid lifters, but how do you tell by looking at the engine?

    How accurate is Desktop Dyno?

    I just got a copy of Desktop Dyno & plugged in the numbers for a stock LT-1 and found that the HP & torque numbers are pretty close to what GM advertised. Desktop Dyno gave me 265HP @ 5500 & 246 HP at 6000, a stock '72 LT-1 is 255 HP @ 5600 RPM's. So I started playing around...I found that if...

    Pf-25

    I know these are discontinued, but where can I get some without paying a premium? Coming from an NCRS standpoint...does this even matter? Could I go with the newer PF-454? (I think) filter...? And get the same points?
