    What will it take to beat an LS1?

    look, dude all this happened under warranty! So why the **** should I rebuild the rear-end over and over, or hone the cylinder walls and fit new pistons to stop the knock and oil consumption (blow-by due to piss poor quality control). Or glue a new ROOF down. Sorry to break it to ya chief...

    Energy Suspension bushings??

    Those things will drive you insane. I had them on my 91 notch, and took them off real quick. I tell you what I did if it's any help ( I know you spent a bunch of cash already) I bought the complete front and the upper rear control arms out of the motorsport /svo whatever they are calling it now...

    94 5.0 not starting

    Do you mean won't crank or won't fire up. Lets address the latter. If you have no codes....then start with the basics. You need air, spark, fuel, or a no go situation arises If it won't fire up check for spark and fuel pressure first. Get a spark tester. if not then.. Get a screwdriver...

    Want a V8

    Well I can tell you how it works (worked.. they might have changed the rules) :shrug: in Texas. I did a 2.3 to 5.0 swap in an 88 Lx. As long as the model of the car came with the engine you swapped in as an option, and it is the same year or newer, and has all relevant emission stuff, you...

    What will it take to beat an LS1?

    Oh, I know, I was just pretty pissed to have so much f*** up so soon. The rear-end The roof Oil consumption Piston slap. You know as well as I do that those are not isolated problems :nonono: but they are fixable. Listen, I think I was more pissed about the service after the sale! Hearing...

    New here - go easy on me, I have a question.

    Don't do the chip or "tune" Best be leaving the timing alone. A blower forget about it ---$3.00 91/93 octane :( Of course if it's a weekend fun car, or you got a bucket of dough then have at it.

    What will it take to beat an LS1?

    Don't worry if it's an LS1 powered F-body something will break before the race is over. Truly sucky cars. But.. But.. JD Power said.. blah... blah.

    My 4.10 Gear Change Story For Today

    What a dick. Call the BBB. Remember, Mechanics can and will put a lien on your ride if you don't pay. Sucks to be sure.

    New here - go easy on me, I have a question.

    With gas prices the way they are I would stick to appearance mods. All this go fast stuff comes at price times 2. You have a fast car as it is. Personalize it :D

    ? for 06 owners Re: Gas Cap and BP Branding

    The Bp/Amoco plant in Texas City explodes on a regular basis, so I guess you can say the stuff burns well. :nonono:

    2003 Cobra's Valued higher than 2005 GT..

    Gas goes up; the cost of everything goes up, and a lot of people will want to get rid of gas guzzling "toys". It won't effect the price of new cobras and such, but I bet you will see some deals on used ones. That 10 mpg car won't look so good to the wife. :rlaugh: Face it, supercharged 400 hp...

    2003 Cobra's Valued higher than 2005 GT..

    If gas prices keep going up I wonder how many people will get rid of their cobras, vettes etc.. Might get a real deal on an 03 in a few months :D What do you guys think the breaking point will be 3.25, 3.50 a gallon? I have a feeling there are going to be some hot cars for cheap :banana...

    CAI's in the rain

    I live in houston and regular cars get high water damaged all the time. I just want people to remember some of these cold air setups are junk. Ever notice they are the first "performance part" out along with mufflers pipes etc.. Sometimes stock is pretty good, sometimes it sucks :D

    CAI's in the rain

    Notice I said MOST....not all, and you say along with a TUNE. So is it the bumped up timing/fuel map... or is it your air filter setup. Relax your car is teh fastest you WIN!!

    CAI's in the rain

    Had an 88 gt with a "ram air" kit on it. The intake was down where the fog lights were. Hit a puddle hydro locked the motor. Back in the 5.0 vs Buick Grand national heyday all kinds of snake oil stuff was out there. This car is very popular and there will be a flood of b.s performance parts...
