    So, inflation's a b@#$^, but car part inflation's even worse!

    What's up with engine prices, lately? I'm so glad I bought a Dart Iron Eagle back in the day... Wow. I saw this today and cannot get over how much they're asking for. What in the world is going on? I bought a 302 c.i. 8.2" deck SBF "Iron Eagle" block back in the day for my 331 Turbo car back...

    Drivetrain Rear gear wear pattern

    Not too smart on this stuff but if I'm being honest, I'm thinkin it's making a bit too much noise when coasting. Accep and decel are fine. Thoughts?

    SOLD WTB stock oil baffles for lower intake.

    I read that the stock intake's oil baffles for the lower intake will work on an Edelbrock RPM I lower intake. Particularly the baffle that blocks oil from washing up into the PCV tube. So, does anyone have a stock lower intake lying around? I'd pay $50 for em, which is like all you'd get for...

    First gear is too tall. Should I make it taller? Nitrous guys, help!

    I've had these discussions before with guys trying to pick the right gearing in T56s. Lots of folks like the tall 2.66 first, because of the short ratios, but the problem is that it leads to situations like the one I'm in, a first world problem to be sure. I got this trans from my best friend...

    Brakes Brakes drag when warm. How to diagnose?

    Guys, since the Cobra Brake swap on Black Jack, the brakes drag only after driving for a decent amount of time... maybe 20 minutes of driving. I've jacked the car up after getting home from such a drive, spun the tires on all 4 corners, and it seems to be coming from the fronts on both sides...

    Resolved Cruise control diagnostics

    I just finished my Cobra brake install & cruise control isn't working. I am 100% confident it did prior to the Cobra brake install. I checked a few electrical things, and they looked good. All fuses were good. What I'm thinking is that now that the brake pedal flicks the brake lights on a...

    Intentional Vacuum leak to resolve rich idle?

    Alright, I know the first reaction is, "that's stupid!", but hear me out at least and then go ahead and say it. If an MAF car drives perfectly fine, except for a rich idle, then inducing a small vacuum leak and resetting the TB to the desired Idle RPM would, in theory, reduce metered air while...
