    synthetic vs. mineral oil

    I've heard full synthetic can go 50k miles between oil changes (not joking), just need to change the filter 3-5k. Sounds pretty reasonable to me, every time I drain my synthetic oil at 5K it looks brand new. Just changed a filter and made sure my level was cool, I think i'll run this oil...

    Gas Mileage

    I just tuned up my car again. I changed oil filter and topped off w/5w30 mobil 1 synthetic. Replaced fuel filter, spark plugs (NGK TR-55) remembered anti-sieze, and dialectic grease, PCV valve ($1.29), air filter. Runs better, much smoother. I recommend changing fuel filter every...

    Diablosport Predator (Impressions)

    Yes, my owner's manual says always and only run 87, sometimes i'll put $10 of 91 in, but very rarely. Can't get 93 here in No. Cal.

    Diablosport Predator (Impressions)

    I think what would happen if you "turn it off" via the predator is that you can block it off on your upper plenum and it won't cause a SES light. Is anyone tuning w/their predator with a dyno? Any benefit if you wanna keep running 87 octane?

    Smog legal intakes?

    I stand corrected, I was thinking of their AirCharger® Off-Road & Racing Performance Kits :nice:

    Smog legal intakes?

    I have a C&L plenum and I'm going to claim it's a direct replacement part and I read somewhere that direct replacement parts did not need CARB numbers? As for the K&N being CARB approved, only their drop in filter is CARB approved, I believe there FIPK or whatever is not CARB approved. I would...

    rim weight?

    If you're going to get tires for drag racing only and they don't match your other rims, get some 15s. The performance will be much better and you can get cheapie 15x8s at Pep Boys for cheap.

    Oli Pressure Jumps when Cold?

    I'm going to replace my Oil Pressure Switch soon. Gonna try reseating the "wiring assembly" on the sending switch first though. http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiBroker?ForwardPage=az/cds/en_us/0900823d/80/1d/aa/34/0900823d801daa34.jsp

    which throttle body to get?

    On a side note, it's really annoying to see so many comparisons involving the C&L without using a 75mm TB. C&L's website clearly recommends a 75mm TB.

    Where to start

    My first mods, which i suggest, were subframes, shocks, struts and springs. You could buy all those parts for the price of a magnaflow catback (not including install) and will make much more difference in drivability. I still have stock exhaust :shrug:

    differential and axles

    If you're going to the strip every weekend a spool or mini spool might be best for less money. Just can't get as nuts around the corners.

    How did you instal your nitrous kit so no one can see???

    I've pondered this too. The fogger nossle could just be mounted on the underside of the intake tube. There are a couple more under the hood problems I've thought of. For the silenoids, you'd want to mount them on the firewall, engine side. Low enough to be out of view, or use some...

    Question about throttle body swap

    It wasn't hard. No harder than removing 2 tight screws. My BBK TB came with new screws I was just describing my method, since with my weight on the old unit (which was out of the car anyway), it made it easier. Don't think it could be done with the TB still in the car.

    How do I improve torque?

    The down side is PITA install, lowers your clearance and yes, I am very positive NO LTs carry a CARB number. Do you live in California? If yes, you better know someone before trying to smog your LTs, plus, even if you smog, if you get pulled over, you can get royally screwed. TA=Timing...
