No need to apologize. It is hard to gauge emotion from reading. Everyone has those days. I hope your day turns around and you get better news. -Muzzy

No, I was was generalizing. It is obvious who (like yourself) does their homework. Others fall victim to hype. I have my favorite vendors too, but they all succumb to government regulation and industry mandates. I am trying to encourage people to investigate before just assuming that if it...

Firstly, just because you get more HP out of a lubricant does NOT mean less protection. The dyno tests on RP were done using standard automotive 10w30 and 5w30 viscosity rated oils. They still picked up HP over their non-synthetic counter parts. When it comes to protection, you may wish...

Holy Crap! Did you see you can get the American Racing Headers with 1 7/8" primaries? The collector looks pretty sweet too. I bet they will make some power. Imagine those with the 1 7/8" primaries and no cats. I am getting a woody just thinking about it. :laugh: Get those Jet-Hot coated...

Still using the RP Synchromax. Trans still shifts smooth. I have not had any problems. -Muzzy

First thing is to make sure all your pets (kids included) have SSN's so you can deduct them as dependents. :laugh: -Muzzy

Platinum plugs are not known for increased performance, but for their longevity. Platinum as a metal has lower conductive properties than copper, so I requires a higher energy ignition system for them to perform the same as copper. I do not know of anyone that has a race car that runs platinum...

08' Viper Engine You will need some custom throttle bodies since the new engine is drive-by-wire. New intake manifold is also two piece with an upper and lower plenum. As far as head porting...Getting HP out of a head all depends on how good the casting is your starting with. Spending...

I would be concerned about how much heat that block was exposed to. Especially if the valve cover and intake were burned. Car fires can easily exceed 2000 degrees. Some even hotter with the exotic metals that are used today. Aluminum and magnesium are two more commonly used that are...

That is awesome. I don't think that would ever happen here in USSI (United Soviet Socialists of Iowa). You know, I find it ironic that I live in an Ag state and do NOT see any illegals working on the farms here. I know quite a few farmers that use automated equipment for harvesting crops...

Every fastener stretches. Depending on the quality of the metal used is whether the fastener will return to its original size after use. The best way to determine if a fastener has been torqued properly is by using a bolt stretch gauge. That is what I use on rod bolts. Obviously, you cannot...

You have valid points. I was responding more to the news article. I get very angry when someone steals from anyone. I had been a victim of theft a couple times when I lived in Detroit. Cops took a nice report and basically said I was SOL. Never got anything back. So forgive me if I have...

Heck, I can hit 110 by the end of the entrance ramp getting on I380. I was following a guy in a tricked out Mustang on the way to Rockford, Ill. He was moving pretty good on I88. I wasn't paying attention to the speedo. I was more concerned about cops, but when I eventually looked down I was...

Unfortunately, Iowa is full of liberals. There is no defense of property or relaxed CCL law here. You have to be more creative...Shoot-em and dump the body in the nearest hog pen :evil: It would be interesting to know if a criminal would call 911 for getting shot while robbing someone...

First of all, anyone trying to steal from me will have a few more holes in them than God gave'em. Texas is one of the states that has a defense of property law, which lets you use deadly force to defend your property. If the thieves weren't stealing, they wouldn't be dead. The problem...

Amen...I agree 100%

That is a beautiful setup. Very clean and well thought out. I would definitely consider it if I had an extra $15K to spare. What is being done to monitor detonation on 04's without knock sensors? -Muzzy

You fugger...that is mean. I want to see the real one. Have you guys heard of this: -Muzzy

I respectfully disagree. There is just enough factory paint on your truck to cover the primer. The auto companies find any way possible to save money on production costs. There is barely enough clear coat to allow you to wheel out the occasional fine scratch or bird crap mark. I know about a...

Replace the fascia, repaint and clear coat the whole truck. Factory paint is crap anyway. Then you won't have to worry about it not matching. Otherwise, option two is what I think is best. -Muzzy
