    Valve train question

    Valvetrain noise I like it too. Kind of reminds me of my solid lifter sbc from way back when.

    Someone over pay and buy it up hurry

    If you buy it from a dealer and it hasn't been titled, it is a "new" car. We bought my wife's last car from a dealer who didn't have the exact options we wanted, but another nearby dealer did. The two dealerships did a dealer trade, which is common thing. Her car showed up with 42 miles, but...

    Who's out in California?

    SoCal here again This doesn't have anything to do with the topic at hand, but 5/20/2005 was my truck's b'day, so I thought I would celebrate 2 days ago with a cake and a dyno run. They both worked out fine. (466/502) (...and the rest of my lawn really does look better than that...)

    80 Year Old Don Garlits Quest for 200MPH on Batteries

    05 CE with 22K on the clock

    Noob here. I am the one who bought that truck. My son works at the shop that has done all the servicing for that since the prior owner got it. I wasn't even looking for another truck, and I have been a Chevy guy for a long time. But this an SRT10! My son called and said it was for sale, and I...
