I let my 17 year old Nephew take my 550 HP Impala SS to his prom. He even washed (with help) and waxed it. It made his day and he now owns the car. The sad reality is that most folks insurance won't...

I have them and they are a good mod. If nothing else they remove the high voltage and the associated ozone from the Opti. I'd assume it has to stay a lot cleaner without all the carbon dust blowing...

Conti DW fan here also. 275's on the front and 295's on the rear and I can't make them hydroplane, and I've tried. Dry handling while not at the level of the Pilot Sports is well beyond what you'll...

That's right. I forgot about the stock rockers. So many years have passed since I used them. Maybe it's an old age thing. I hear the memory's the first thing to go. Now where was I? Thanks for the...

Ticking pretty "loudly". Use the adverb.:D But the ticking could be your problem. Pull the coil wire and turn the engine over. Watch #5 valves and see if they're doing anything stupid. The LT4 will...

Many people have relocated their filter with very little loss of pressure. That shouldn't be an issue. I'm still thinking that, based on your symptoms, that you have a cavitation problem....

Electric water pumps always run at the same speed. They don't care if you are idling. The LT4 in my Impala has one and it makes around 525 HP and it never overheats. Idling for hours in 90+ degrees...
