    160* Thermostat

    you put higher octane fuel in or your put a higher octane tune in? if fuel you need to give it 50 miles or so before the other gas is gone. also look for good gas 93 cheveron. on the other hand if you tuned it for 93 then you just exacerbated the problem. sorry if that's elementary to...

    160* Thermostat

    <silence> no idea on the LS1 i'd think that the knocking problem was due to too much spark advance. i doubt that 20 deg cooler air charge will elliminate detination.

    Some honest opinoins please LS1 or S197

    won't be long before AM is rife with proven cam/head stuff for the S197. personally, i like the idea of building up an underdog to compete w/ LS1 f-bodies rather than driving just another f-body. I've got the funds now for a blower but find it hard to part w/ them. I'd really prefer to stay...

    Did i waste $830 on the wheel upgrade?

    when it comes to cornering, 18's will give a more precise feel than 17's given the same tire (not sidewall) height but will also be less forgiving - meaning w/ the 17's you'll have a little more warning that the tire's about to break traction in a turn. i have 17's on my 05 but will eventually...

    Get the tissue boxes!

    +1 on that. i went through the 1st few pics, saw nothing but v6's and thought "So?" :jester: it was really tough seeing the classics ruined. it's bad enough to see a hard-to-come-by GT ruined but those 2 late 60's ponies and the t-bird...:nonono:

    What will it take to beat an LS1?

    yes this is a little off the subject but for me it puts the "what will it take" question in perspective. there's over a liter of displacement - pretty good head start. what's the point in modding my stang only to spank a stock LS1? in all fairness the LS1 guys have 10 times the mods available...

    just ordered JLT and SCT2

    me likey! still running the 87 tune for now...itching to fill and tune w/ 91 better throttle response, more power, more growl (most noticeable at 3k and up under heavy throttle) you feel it in the mid pipe, hear it from under the hood and the stock exhaust note is way more meaty i do keep...
