    Is 3.5mm and 4mm Vac Hose basically interchangeable?

    About to hit purchase on about $100 worth of high temp silicone vac hose and IC couplers. the 3.5mm hose is $1.25 a foot, while the 4mm hose is $1.00, so I was thinking of doing all the main vac line in the 4mm. Is this big enough to perhaps not stay on, or should I have nothing to worry...

    Where can I get one of these gauge mounts in Houston?(old school simple) (or web)

    Hey everyone, looking for a simple as could be 52mm gauge mount for my new WB, and I was having a hell of a time finding something like this, as most everything is custom panels or pods. The only thing close was the greddy band type mount, but I don't really liek that. Does anyone know if...

    I'm not sure what material the HKS DP is made from, but the AEM WB sensor came with a mild steel weld-on bung. Anyone know if the HKS DP is mild steel? Also, whats my best (cheapest) bet for getting a shop to weld this on? Should I just go to a muffler shop? About how much should I plan on...

    While valve covers are off, should I retorque my ARPs?

    Hey everyone, Wondering if I should retorque my ARP bolts while I have my valve covers off for coating? They have been on there for about 4-ish years and 20k miles with an HKS MHG in there. I'm thinking no, but I guess it couldn't hurt right, assuming I don't somehow loosen one before...

    Ceramic Coat Valve Covers?

    Would there be any reason heat wise to not coat your valve covers? Do they perform any essential heat sink function or anything?? I sent a bunch of stuff off to be 2000 degree coated, and though "why not" on the valve covers.... I still have a chance to stop it in case I'm making a mistake
