    The New Camaro

    Im a Chevy guy myself and I dont really care for it. The Engines are awesome, dont get me wrong. But they are stuffed in fat pigs with poor visibility. Its just not a Ponycar anymore, its a Sedan with 2 doors.

    electronic fan question

    I just installed my DCC controller last weekend. Its such a nice product, comes with absolutely everything you need. I hid mine behind the battery and the install looks factory. I cant say enough good things about my DCC controller, beats the crap out of the old hacked together controller I had...

    Oil weight?

    Not to thread jack, but its a similar question. I have a 100k mile stock engine, its got pretty low oil pressure and eats a lot of oil. Should I up my weight? I think im using 10w-30 right now.

    questions about GT40 heads

    I picked up some GT40s of corrall for like 280 shipped. 450 is way steep, even with the porting.

    E-Fan Relay Question

    Yeah, I figure I could use one in the cab of the car, id just rather keep it cleaner and run it from a wire under the hood. Thanks for the input though :nice:

    E-Fan Relay Question

    I was just looking at wiring diagrams. I guess I could just move both wires behind the ignition relay and be fine, yes?

    E-Fan Relay Question

    So my battery keeps dieing. I have my relays wired permanently on (now that I think about it, thats pointless to have the relays wired like that) and my battery is draining in less than 12 hours. Id assume that just those 2 30A relays are pulling enough current to drain the battery pretty quick...

    All you Californians... Smog questions

    Check the codes, check the timing. That will help you diagnose the problems. As for the new exhaust, as long as there are cats, you should be just fine.

    All you Californians... Smog questions

    Yes, thats a new test from pretty recent. If you have any leaks in your tank they will fail you. Which is a total pain in the ass if theres a crack in your tank. If its just a gas cap leak though, thats a $5 fix at the local parts store.

    If you had a stock 5.0?

    Cheapest way to go fast is spray :D Otherwise Id get some cheap GT40P heads and intake and call it a day.

    All you Californians... Smog questions

    Basically you need carb numbers on everything, you need EGR, you need cats (I have an aftermarket H pipe with only 2 cats and my inspector didnt mind), All vaccum ports hooked up, AIR injection to the cats. Thats about it. Its pretty easy to hook that stuff up and then take it off later if you...

    What is up with this Typhoon intake?

    I have a Typhoon sitting right next to me right now. Its a fine intake for the price if you have a dremel and a few hours to clean up the ports. There was some ugly flash in mine, but nothing the dremel couldnt fix quickly. Honesly youd have to have some pretty crazy flowing heads to take...

    To port or not to Port . . .

    If you are going to run E7s, id keep the stock cam for drivability, an explorer intake would nicely match the ported E7s too. Would have great TQ id imagine. As for how far to port the E7s? I dunno, id keep it mild just to save money for some WAY better flowing heads out of the box. I have a...

    DD a clean stock fox?

    I love to DD my 87 LX auto. Still pretty "fun" to drive with the shift kit, but really nice just to cruise. Have a full stereo + tons of sound deadener on all my floor and panels.

    400hp with a stock cam...believe it or not?

    Thats what I thought, I have seen half a dozen examples and read build threads of pretty similar setups to yours and they make good power.

    400hp with a stock cam...believe it or not?

    Im still pretty new to SBFs so ill take your word on that.

    400hp with a stock cam...believe it or not?

    You think so? An aggressive carb intake + AFR 165s should make high 200s id think. Especially with 1.7 Rockers. Dont GT40s Put out like 250-265 with a nicely matched intake?

    400hp with a stock cam...believe it or not?

    400 flywheel HP sounds reasonable with no accessories. Start bolting that engine up to a trans then put all the street car accessories on there and you will prolly be down to low 300s at the wheels.

    Automatic to cobra?

    At least put a shift kit in the AOD. GT40P Heads alone shouldnt be near enough to grenade your transmission.

    Worst gas mileage possible with a stock motor

    Ive never gotten above 180 for a tank ever. Consider yourself lucky to be getting that.
