    20" rims how rough is the ride

    I just purchased a 2012 caprice It's been lowered and is running 20s. The ride is crap. I had a 2007 at standard height and stock wheels and the ride was great. I'm looking at going back to standard height springs and stock wheels. Don't get me wrong, it looks great but just don't enjoy the...

    Head bolts and gaskets

    Yeah did my homework with e85. It does have the higher octane but it doesn't do much to the ITA's Where the meth/water is injected, that's what's makes the huge difference to the Intake temps. 1900 maggie with 2.75" front pulley. Have a forged LS3 getting built atm. I want to push my...

    Head bolts and gaskets

    At what boost level should you start thinking about upgrading the head bolts and head gaskets I have an s/charged LS2 524rwhp @8psi. Doing my homework before ramping boost up to about 13-15psi and installing a snow water/meth kit.

    Exhaust & Cold Air Induction

    That's true 90db for noise You must have and pass an emissions test to also be legal 4 into 1 long tube headers will not pass as the cats are too far from the engine.

    Header choice

    I have a 2007 hsv r8 with a s/c LS2 I've heard from company's and forums that the short 4 into 1 or tri y headers are better for s/c applications as in with boost. With the long tube headers you need a smaller front s/c pulley to make the same boost as the short headers. Can anyone shed any...

    Forced induction + meth injection

    By the time they get e85 in Perth ill prolly be to old to drive.. Though you can order e85 in 44 galon drums Methanol is so much easier to get hold of. And you can set it up so it comes in at a certain psi and your not burning it up at idle.

    Maggie 1900 boost upgrade

    I bought the car as is and all the work was done by Walkinshaw. With the standard pulley it was said to have 546rwhp It was coughing and spluttering so got a retune by someone else. Got better fuel economy and more power though on the dyno was only 469rwhp at 6psi. Boost upgrade to 8.5psi and...
