    Ticking noise from the motor...

    hows your oil pressure? i dont really think lifters fail unless you run them completely flat, but still at then its possible to prime them back up. if you can think of anything else i would start by replacing the lifters. do you have a trustworthy mechanic you can talk to?

    REBUILD TIME vortech s trim

    my breather on my VC looks like a tea kettle too:D it only does it when the motor is fully warmed up because of the pressure. as for the pcv popping out:notnice: that must mean that the crank case is getting pressurized. this happened to me, along with the dipstick popping out, before i...

    Ticking noise from the motor...

    check oil pressure and level. i know what your talking about and in my experience it has been collapsing lifters from lack of oil pressure. change your oil and filter, run 10 30 and then see. have you done ANYTHING to the car underhood wise? eric

    tranny for 400HP??

    I have heard mixed things about the TKO not liking high rpm shifts and other things of that nature. I also read about how the dog ring set up on the Gforce does not like to tolerate dyno pulls because there can not be any wheel spin? I like the sound of the Gforce T5. How much do they...

    How much more boost will a 8" crank pulley give me?

    hard to say with boost, like stated above. But one thing is for sure, your airflow will go up quite a bit. you dont really want boost. you can make more power with less boost.... an engine that is free flowing is less restrictive and thus the engine does not have to work as hard to turn the...

    why no intercooler kits for v-1??

    It just stumps me. :shrug: at 10psi the air going into the motor is hot. my tweecer says my air temps are 205 with 4 lbs of boost after a short WOT run. intercoolers can get air temps down quite a bit, why does vortech not offer this option with their SC. I know that they offer an...

    double check the oil level. the oil change places such as jiffy lube and such dont always fill your car up. there have been numerous lawsuits against them for that. something stupid but it maybe the problem.
