    North Chicago Machine Shops

    Which is the best, with good pricing, customer service. Not sure what direction I will end up going, but this is one thought..... Thinking about a 302 stroked to 331. Will be going Fuel Injected, no nitrous and no forced induction. So cast or Hyper. pistons with up to 10:0 to 1 CR will do, a...

    NA 2.3L performance

    not to sound cocky, but I've built several engines. Not a 2.3L ford tho, and that's why I was asking this question. built a 120 hp Honda SOHC up to 199 WHP with cam and bolt ons. Built a 240HP (actually about 190 when we got it) Buick regal T-type 3.8L V6 into a 650 hp Turbo monster...

    NA 2.3L performance

    Ok, I am wondering what kind of things I can do to my dual plug 2.3L to get some more performance. I know CAI header and Ranger cam are all good ideas, but what kind of power would that get me? If I am going to swap in a Turbo motor, why not just go 5.0? They have stroker kits for...

    2009 Camaro leaked image

    I think if they offer a 5 speed manual cloth interior 300 hp V8 powered "RS", for the same or less than the Mustang....... then they will eat into Mustang sales. But the Mustang will not go anywhere.

    2009 Camaro leaked image

    Lutz has already announced in his Blog that if people keep saying the Challenger has 425 hp, Shelby has 475 hp, they do have a proven 500 hp unit, should the need arise. But considering this 500 hp engine is also found in a 70k car, I am sure the price of the LS7 Camaro will be enough to...

    2009 Camaro leaked image

    Cool, I posted the stuff to get some honest reactions. Over at CamaroZ28 forums, they all love it or hate it. I see the same here. This will not be badged as a chevelle. Camaro name is available to GM after 2007 for production, the closest they are talking is 2009. I think with...

    Coil spring didn't seat properly.....

    lol, you ***in nut, you sound like me. I should have taken out the A-Arm bolts and let that side down while the other side was attached. Had two problems with that. 1. Someone stole my jack, so I was stuck with the scissor jack. 2. Bent a forged box end wrench trying to loosen up the...

    Coil spring didn't seat properly.....

    yeah, I know it has tension on it, I was just hoping there was some way to turn it without clamping it. Using hand tools to crank that bastard down just plain sucks.

    Coil spring didn't seat properly.....

    I had a broken front spring, put in a used one with a coil clamp, but it was about 1-1.5" past the groove for the bottom. Is there any "easy" way to turn the spring while it is in? That is without removing it or re-using the clamp. The clamp was a major P.I.T.A. and had to disassemble it to...

    Borla Stinger exhaust and sound laws in Illinois

    In the Chicago suburbs it's hit and miss. SOme places they will pull you over and say it is illegal to modify an exhaust system, and hand you a ticket. In this case keep the 50-state legal certificate. It is illegal to modify it to become louder than a certain decibal, cops obviously don't...

    5lug swap JY style

    You can swap Ranger rotors onto the front, and aerostar or ranger axles/drums to the back. Presto, 5 lugs. If you're looking for bigger brakes, the best bet is to go with GT spindles up front, and for ease, swap out the rear for a 8.8 rwdb 5 lug. If you are considering the whole front...

    Some honest opinoins please LS1 or S197

    Well, if you don't need back seats, and you are a fan of the TA, why not consider a used vette? They can be found with low miles under $20k, if you could afford a S197, you should be able to swing that. If you are looking exclusively for a sports car, it is a good one. As far as...

    Want forced induction?

    It shows $3700 as the lowest price on their web site. I am sure it won't go down if they make a version for the Mustang.

    Want forced induction?

    well, someday there may be a lower priced turbo kit. If you think about actual cost of parts it only makes sense that the prices will come down. The prices are still high because people think of it as the ultimate performance addition to their car. If it cost 1000 bucks and could get you a...
