He's a bit scared of it to run it on the strip. The only place I could h...

I know how modern engine management works..but I'm from the thinking that if the e...

Re: Silverado, low fuel pressure?

No thats not low enough to cause a misfire. Use a scan tool capable of telling you which cylinder is misfiring as its happening then go from there. Your way off man it is p0300 meaning multiple, not a p0302,304 etc etc. pressure is low enough for sure to cause"multiple" What do you think ...

Re: Piston ring install lube

WD-40 has no lubricating (high pressure/extreme pressure) features whatsoever and should not be used as such. The product name refers to "Water Displacing formula #40" which is the name given to it by the NASA engineers who developed it. It works quite well as a surface protector/rust inh...

Re: Cub Cadet Warning!

I agree on the fact that you bought and economy unit. Dont expect much from it.

A good rider will cost you 10k+

Mine was 12k with a 60inch deck. It has 830 hours on it and hasn't ever missed a beat.

Re: I was thinking about using E85 or alcohol,BUT

Im in MN and e85 is a no brainer for me. $1.65 currently and even in winter it's still 80% ethanol. Its makes more power, runs a tad cooler and the throttle response is MUCH better.

Re: Large port vortecs

We've made nearly 500hp with small port vortec bowties and a 2bbl carb.

I think 600 would be possible with large port vortecs and a 4bbl.
