    A wheelie nice MKIII, literally. LOL

    Nice! That's some serious torque there, I'm betting it's a TH400 w/ about 5000 stall on a T70sumthing

    FYI: Fake Walbros from China

    It's happening all over, in just about every industry. I just changed my mind on a Shure SM58 vocal microphone and got an Audix because I read an article about all the Chinese Shure fakes. The irony is that is exactly what Japan was doing 35 years ago

    600hp mkiii vs 07 zo6

    I'll say it once more then I'm out........ 'that hp/l is the measuring stick, hp/l is easily definable and a practical, useful means of quantifying output. Sure you could perform bench testing with a stack of instruments and determine hp/cfm on each engine but real world? Impossible to...

    600hp mkiii vs 07 zo6

    what I'm sure you understand is that hp/l is the measuring stick, we may be actually saying the same thing tho it's just that hp/l is easily definable and a practical, useful means of quantifying output. Sure you could perform bench testing with a stack of instruments and determine hp/cfm on...

    gauging interest, gm transmission adaptor

    definately need to look into the custom flexplate, when I did mine the custom converter was a HUGE pia and I got the stall a little wrong so I'm not totally happy with it. Bright side, the TH350 has taken everything I've had to throw at it and more, and that's about 400-450. It would be really...

    600hp mkiii vs 07 zo6

    since the internal combustion engine is an inherently wasteful beast (iirc in the range of 15-30%) the hp/l analysis is everything, it's all about using as much of the available energy from the fuel as possible, the original energy source in the engine is the chemical potential energy of the...

    How much boost before race gas?

    if you want that turbo to live very long I wouldn't set up much past 15, they are just not that strong of a turbo anyhow

    I need new tires! Where should I go (in the S.F. Bay area)?

    can't beat tire rack, then take them to Wally world and have them put on with lifetime balance and road hazard

    7MGTE MK3 vs Small Block 400 MK3

    400 sounds good, might as well cut a big hole in the hood and stick a blower on that sucker. Then no 7M will touch it

    The Tank!!

    Big plug here from me on keeping the speed down a little bit on public streets..... we all think it's cool to see what it'll do or always drive fast (that was me). Short story about my big one: 16 y/o smart as hell and knew how to drive better than anyone (ring any bells?), damp road, 110 in...
