    Always low on oil!!!!

    i'm guessing but i don't think it's the oil as the level does not change as you noted. really a little smoke is normal. could it be moisture? mobil 1 and amsoil to the best of my knowledge are the only true (pao) synthetic oils. castrol, pennzoil, valvoline and etc. are hydrocracked oils...

    Always low on oil!!!!

    maybe i shouldn't have used the word burning. all, i know is i was losing oil quicker with mobil 1 which was partially corrected by using hydrocracked oil.

    Always low on oil!!!!

    i had that experience with mobil 1 in my 5.0. i went to "fake" synthetic hydrocracked oil and my oil burning slowed from a quart every 500 to 800 miles to around 2500.

    MM's 4 Bolt Caster/Camber Plates Rock

    Not the best picture in the world so I guess staff photographer for Motor Trend is not going to happen. :lol: I was not expecting anything along the lines of improved steering so it comes as a bonus. Perhaps it's the bearings that improve the steering and ride?

    MM's 4 Bolt Caster/Camber Plates Rock

    I put them on because of excessive wear on the inside of the front tires. Boy was I surprised when I drove the car. The steering is smoother and more responsive plus the ride quality has improved. And, I can tell ya they look dam gorgeous under the hood. I'm so stoked. :nice...

    Which air filter to buy?

    i only use paper filters also. i live near the beach and fine particle silica (sand) is a problem. if you hold a k&n and a paper filter up to the light in an auto parts store you can see the difference. i'm willing to sacrifice 0 to 4 hp to filter smaller micron particles.

    Tires, why is wider better?

    wide tires can be tough going in the snow. i assume the greater contact area reduces the average downward force so the tires tend to sit on the snow rather than dig in.

    How Do You Change The Fuel Filter?

    Kenne Bell 2v 9lb kit...

    this would be the best kit for me also. i'm waiting to hear if the kit can be safely tuned to run on premium gas in the south's heat without detonation. i'd settle for around 370rwhp with 9psi as a daily driver.

    Be sued for posting dyno results of companies products??

    exactly!!! :nice: back to the dyno thing. yes the company can sue for slander or libel. that does not mean the case has any merit. the company can sue with the intent harass you and no intention of winning.

    Be sued for posting dyno results of companies products??

    i'm going to disagree with the folks here. in america you can sue someone for just about anything and win. what people here are saying is that the company in their opinion has no case. consider this. a new jersey woman was in a minor car accident and sued the guy that hit her because she lost...
