    Plasti Dip

    I did my wheels, inner to give the wheel more pop. Before After Then I did my roof, always wanted to know how it would look black but holy ****. It was so hard to keep it even, that after 4 coats I gave up. It looks bad *** in my mind but let me know what you think. Really thinking...

    light knocking sound

    I have run the race tune on my car for almost a year now with no problems, I think he might have had a mixed blend tank. OP, you have to run straight 93 or 91 on the race tune otherwise problems arise. Or contact bama, and maybe get a reburn.

    im going to start a big argument

    I hear a lot more stuff from S197 owners then any Cobra owner I have run into. I have had several 4.0 V6 owners try to say that there car with simple bolt ons will walk mine, :rlaugh:. I could have bought a cobra, Mach 1 or even an s197 when I bought my car, budget was under 20K. But My car was...

    Looking for a pretentious hat to wear while driving my cabriolet

    Nice rental Car ! I hate to inform you though, after you have finished vacation you are suppose to return the car. Its common curtsy and it lets others have a turn.

    Thinking of building an N/A engine, list inside

    I have driven a C6Z but not a C5Z, but i have heard the C5Z is something totally different like you said. I have had my eye on one for awhile now, just kinda love my little 2v. Plus for the C5Z, STS twin turbo kit is Cali smog legal, along with your A&A kit or Magnacharger. CA seems to like GM...

    Help Me Figure Out What I Broke at the Track Today

    Thats a bummer, and look forward to seeing the car rise back up with the new motor. How will your blower on PI heads will work though :shrug: I though the NPI and PI have different ports? If you don't mind sharing, who was the tuner?

    Thinking of building an N/A engine, list inside

    +1, And I understand the whole large bore thing and this should go in a sticky somewhere, really good explanation that should be expanded on. :nice: What he was saying was, of coarse a big bore is better then a stroker kit, hands down better. But the big bore engine is quite a feat compared...

    Thinking of building an N/A engine, list inside

    Update I talked to the guy that will prob build it and he is thinking of a stock bore aluminum block with a stroker kit in it topped with a nice set of head and cam combo. Then just run about 10:1 compression ratio with a good solid tune. He said the big bore are a pain because they come raw...

    Thinking of building an N/A engine, list inside

    No turbo's allowed in Cal on the street. Otherwise that would have been a great route to go. Any i have heard of people trying to sneak it but i really don't have the time to take the car apart if i get busted.

    Thinking of building an N/A engine, list inside

    Thanks for the replies and I know the cams are holding me back quite a bit and talking to my engine builder today. I forgot to make this clear, I do not drag race or ever intend to unless its just some fun with friends, I plan to Road Race this car soon, possible at HPDE events or SCCA track...

    Thinking of building an N/A engine, list inside

    Well, money is all relative and i invest with no concern with getting money back out, whats the point of that. All said and done, priced out I am at $4500 or so which is cheaper then a KB for my car. Plus then I have a new engine, not a boost 100K engine. I mean a cobra or Z06 will run me...

    Thinking of building an N/A engine, list inside

    ***So as the title states, I am thinking about building an N/A engine for my stang. I know FI makes more power, and have considered it quite a bit. However, I am not after monster power, just want a strong running reliable engine that meets my requirements. I know this is the more expensive...

    Help Me Figure Out What I Broke at the Track Today

    I would get a retune if I was you and pull some timing. More timing doesn't always get more power.

    Operation 'Not Performance Improved'

    Whats your boost? Maybe the meth is too much for the amount of boost you have at the moment, how about an overdrive crank pulley? And cheer up about those numbers, the rollers don't tell the whole story. :nice:

    Removing a Procharger PISC

    If you sent if off to get resealed, did the whole unit get done or just certain parts? Is there any warranty on there work? Thats a bummer, usually I hear they leak due to overfilling of the oil.

    New Parts

    That's prob true, since I picked up more then 10hp with the intake, TB, Plenum and custom tune. But, I doubt the C & L plenum added more then a couple of hp, most videos and charts I have seen say about 4 - 6 rwhp at most. Like I stated above, to me the increase in usable engine power was the...
