    Strength of a 4R70W transmission?

    Mine is still working great and all I've added was a Ford Racing cooler. And KB's awesome shift program probably helps out some too.

    Perfect fit Optima Battery!!!

    Here are 2 dumb questions: Is the "yellow connecting piece" a spacer plate that comes with the battery? Will being a "Deep Cycle" battery cause any problems? Thanks.

    Lucas Octane Boost - Cold weather "pinging"

    I've seen guys run NON-intercooled 10 and 11psi, and a varying range of intercooled boost from 9psi to 12psi on the stock internals getting 430-530rwhp for years and over 20,000 miles and they seem to say "so far so good" for now. Have also seen a guy trash his 9psi KB on his "first run at the...

    Lucas Octane Boost - Cold weather "pinging"

    Where did you read that junk? Every single thing I have read shows that the weaker quality Octane Boosters are good for about "30 Octane Points" which translates to "3 Full Octane Numbers" and the better Octane Boosters like NOS Off-Road, NOS Racing and Amsoil Series 2000 Octane Boost are rated...

    Lucas Octane Boost - Cold weather "pinging"

    Makes sense about the timing. I'm real happy with the KB tune and the numbers I got, so I really don't want to mess with what I have. I don't mind using the stronger octane booster during winter and if we ever get 94 octane fuel back in my area again I probably won't even need to add anything to...

    Lucas Octane Boost - Cold weather "pinging"

    Actually, I think KB thinks it is "normal" and if I could get 94 octane fuel in my area...it probably wouldn't even be an issue. Just something I ran across from the KB guys running a KB with a KB tune, and another guy running a KB with a "custom" tune..... "With a blower your most...

    Lucas Octane Boost - Cold weather "pinging"

    Can only get crappy 91 octane fuel so I've been using the "Street" NOS Octane booster and it has worked well until it got cold outside. Can't get the "Strip" NOS booster in my area so I just bought some Lucas Octane booster. Actually costs more. Anyone know how much the Lucas Octane Booster...

    What spark plugs are you using with IC 9psi Kenne Bell?

    Seems like KB started recommending the NGK TR6 plugs after the Denso Iridium plugs started coming apart under boost. I'm using the NGK TR6 plugs in mine.

    And some are even running 450-530rwhp on stock internals.

    02/GT PCV valve removal

    If it's like mine you can put a wrench on the flat sides and it turns 1/4 of a turn. You don't need to pull on it because it pushes itself out by climbing up a thread/groove as you're turning it.

    Question about autometer gauge clusters

    I keep mine at about 1/2 brightness like Autometer suggests to keep from burning them out too soon.

    Extended oil change and loss of power?

    I'll be trying the new "Ea Nanofiber" Amsoil oil filter at my next oil change. Even with my discount I think they're about $12 or $13, but I don't really care.

    Who has the Baddest 2V 4.6 out there?

    Did you ever install the forged block or are you still running 530rwhp on the stock block? Just asking because some seem to think that it's impossible for the stock engine to handle more than 420-440rwhp.

    need help with a s/c

    I don't want to start a *issing contest, but I like my KB. I'm getting 11psi from my "9psi" kit and haven't had any problems...yet.

    BBK o/r X-pipe + flowmasters = Stink and TOO FREAKING LOUD

    I'm changing out my old Borla w/wield in Dynomax Race Bullets cat-back for a "Steeda" (quieter than Stingers) Borla system - just arrived today. Hooked up to my Magnaflow O/R X-pipe, I'm hoping that I won't have to worry so much about all the police cars around here where I work.

    Paging DocGTO...

    A poster in 4.6 talk told me to ask for DocGTO. My brother just bought a 2005 400HP LS2 6-Speed GTO and we haven't raced yet because he wants to break it in first, but I'm sure that I can beat him pretty easy unless we just went for an all-out top speed race. He's already talking about adding...

    Dyno's after Vortech install - 03 4.6 2v

    How much boost are you actually making? My kit was rated at 9psi but I make 10 at mid rpm's and 11 when I pass 5,000 rpm's.
