    head bolt sealer ques.

    How critical is it that you put a thread sealer on head bolts? I ask this because ive seen a few threads on the subject and a coworker used some on his new engine. This made me think about whether I remembered to do this when I did my h/c/i. It was over a year ago and for the life of me I cant...

    I think im being scammed.

    Ha im reluctant to sell my car to foreign people on US soil in person let alone overseas. Ive heard of this scam happening a lot and it seems to always be some dude in England. First 5.0s arent even big in england. Next when they email you its not the same kind of correspondence as if it was a...

    Beware of crazy horse racing in NJ

    I work in a shop a dealer to be exact. Theres customers that sometimes no matter what you do, they will never be happy. They are forever getting screwed. In the end its how much they can get free on their hunk of junk. Its always some jerk with a heap. They only report when they're mad. For this...

    How Men and Women change thier oil

    Funny joke and i get the punchline. But man would I ever like to be in complete disagreement on "properly maintained vehicle" and "jiffy lube" being in the same sentence. I worked there in Hs and its nothing but retarded flunkys who have no auto experience at all either learning or jus...

    Workout guys: What protein shakes are you taking?

    Hah, sorry. I have a habit of jus skimming through long threads. But I dont mind parroting people that actually know what they are talking about in hopes of conveying the truth to help people. The creatine studies no doubt theres probably going to be both sides of spectrum. But I will say...

    Workout guys: What protein shakes are you taking?

    I disagree with the anti creatine use posts personally. They have done plenty of tests on creatine proving its merits vs jus opinions on how much your body is producing. Your body doesnt produce nearly the amounts that help you realize better muscle gains, strength gains, recovery gains from...

    how much boost for a stock 5.0?

    I recommend at least a 190 although for a few bucks more jus get a 255. that way you'll have enough pump in the future when you decide to go bigger.30 lb injectors would be about right for that combo. get the car tuned. dont run an fmu.

    Which cat-back should I buy...

    Personally id go with Bassani over SLP anyday. SLP makes your car jus sound loud, with lil sound quality. Sounds pretty much like a mudding truck. Also SLP has a history of lousy customer service. They are still primarily a GM aftermarket company.

    Dropped an engine hoist on my foot! With pics!

    This shows the importance of 1. Wearing steel toes when doing heavy jobs like pulling engines 2. pulling an engine out evenly 3. having medical insurance 4. going to the doctor. If this happened to me, medical insurance or not, my ass is going to the doctor. You could get gangrene, it could...

    If you "acquired" a GT500 would you sell the 5.0

    Id keep both cars. Itd be nice to have a new car thats more powerful, more driveable, and quieter. Then to have all the merits of my 5.0 when I want them. The 5.0 isnt leaving anytime soon though.

    stangnet brand control arms?

    They are right on the first page Daggar. Im so close to buying these things now. I take it Pro3i is a good company guys? Quality arms is extremely important to me, so yes I am paranoid.

    stangnet brand control arms?

    I jus noticed these when I signed on today. Im in the market for suspension right now, and I checked the add for these arms. Are they good? should I buy them? They look very much like maximum motorsports arms and the price is right. Best price Ive seen for arms.
