I'd do the SS so that you can run higher EGT's. I would think the 66 would be so laggy it wouldn't be fun as a dailer driver, but would be great for towing. Do you have the intake and exhaust for a 64? If you supplemented with a 50 shot of Nitrous or a propane kit, I think a 64 would be a...

I just noticed you are running a diesel. It would be a decent fit for you.

If you look at the attached Garret specs, that turbo is ideally sized for around 475 hp. The compressor side and the turbine side are too small. It is sized for up to a 6.0L motor. Even at the largest A/R of 1.19, it doesn't support enough exhaust flow for big HP. It would likely work with a...

That sounds about right. So, how much boost would it take to make 5 more hp at 7500 rpm in a ferrari? Probably about .25 psi or so. But, the real question is: do the aerodynamics of the scoop create more than 5 hp worth of drag at that speed?

Two words that are used today rhyming with purple are hirple (to walk with a limp and similar meanings) and curple (the rump or posterior, also used for a strap under a horse to prevent the saddle moving). Circle, turtle, fertile, girdle, herbal, and verbal don't exactly rhyme with purple...

That is so rediculous that the dealership did such shotty work. It doesn't take a Viper tech to be able to tighten motor mounts. I would report them to the BBB at least. I would also write a letter to the owner of the dealership and let him know that his service department is completely...

Stay out of the deep water with that set up...:p

Anything you can do to ensure that the motor gets the best shot of cold air will help. A ram-air is just not going to supercharge the motor any. But hey, going from hot, under-hood engine air at a slight vacuum to .01 psi of pressurized cold air is better than nothing...:D

The blocker panels behind the grill are mostly there to force the air to either go through the radiator or around the outside of the truck but not just into the engine compartment. This is done for a couple of reasons. It is done primarily to keep the airflow going the right direction through...

Don't confuse pressure with force. Force = pressure x area. If your hand is extended out with your palm facing forward, and it measures roughly 8" x 5", and the portion of your arm sticking out to hold up your hand is roughly 5" x 9", the total surface area would be 40 + 45 = 95 square inches...

I calculated them using the Bernoulli equation taking the air speed to be vehicle speed and then calculating the maximum compression the air could possibly undergo by stopping the flow all the way down to zero. In actuallity, the air would still be traveling into the intake, so it would...

There is no upgrade so that adjustments don't have to be made -- it's part of the scheduled maintenance. There are 3 adjustments that need to be made when doing the normal tranny service. They are: set the throttle valve (TV) cable, adjust the front (2nd gear) band, and adjust the rear band. You...

It depends on what shape your tranny is in. if everything is fine, you could just do a valve body, billet 2nd gear accumulator, and some spring upgrades. If, when you drop the pan there is a bunch of crap in the bottom, your tranny likely needs a rebuild. If you are going with a total rebuild...

Wouldn't hurt to do it cold, warm up the truck, and then do it again when warm.

Might work if you take the front calipers completely off, block off the front brake lines and then turn the front rotors down to about 14".
