Pretty nice torque line for a 3l! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Love CZ. I’ve got a Scorpion that’s a lot of fun. Love the looks of many of their metal pistols. Also love the one Garand that I bought from my wife’s uncle. He was a retired Chief of Police in a nearby Chicago suburb and was reducing his significant collection. Man the stories he told...

Don’t agree completely. Plastic can warp and/or become brittle with heat cycles. While I agree plastic isn’t inherently a problem, it is less durable than aluminum to some degree. Is it needed, not likely. Is it a little insurance, to some degree yes. Besides, all of my mods didn’t NEED to be...

I did both in my garage on a quickjack. Trans pan was super simple. Iirc the engine oil pan may have needed more finesse to install. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I’m a Sig fanboy. Started with a P226 30 years ago. Then a P229SAS, then a P220 Elite Stainless, then a P938SAS, then a P320, then a P365. Favorites are P226, and P220. Best shooter is P320 (9mm)with trigger work. I shot rentals for a year before I bought my first. Sig just fit my hand the...

I hate plastic so much I replaced both oil pan and trans pan and am glad I did. Plastic intake I get, plastic pan not so much. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Heavier than Velgens but aren’t those a true forged wheel? I have a set of Velgen that I have had no trouble with but they are cast wheels, rotary forging is not true forging. Got a deal I couldn’t say no to. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Agree that’s pretty bad! Took me three times including the dealer to find a guy that actually gave a shit and did it correctly after telling him about the inside adjuster. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Correct. I’ve got a boost gauge and even at 80 in cruise I see no boost until I hit a hill. One of the benefits of turbo over supercharging. While a blower gives you more instant power at lower rpm, it’s always using hp. Turbos make our cars like an economy car until you want more power. Sent...

Nope. You get vacuum through the intake at idle. Once rpms start to build you will see vacuum turn to boost. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That was my technique in the past. Some of those higher mileage cars would really put a good smoke show after firing it up. No mosquitoes in the area after that! One reason I do it more frequently is hoping it stays relatively clean instead of crusty and less likely break off. I’ve seen the...

I think your temps are fine. I’m in the same range when driving normal. If I start having a little fun they get around 200-205. Temp drops with AC on because the fan runs all the time when the AC is active. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

No worries. I did some research and also have a couple friends with high mileage DI motors (150k+) that swear by the stuff. I do run top tier gas but I also run some Techron through a tank every 10k or so just because I like to switch cleaners every so often. Probably overkill but it’s cheap...

Not this product. It is sprayed into the intake and definitely hits the back of the intake valves. It was introduced specifically for direct injection engines so it does clean the intake valves. IIRC I use a grommet just before the throttle body. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Not seafoam but I run CRC GDI cleaner every 15-20k. Helps to keep the intake valves clean. I’ve seen lots of direct injection engines needing mechanical valve cleaning around 80-100k. I’m not really interested in blasting the intake with walnut shells if I can avoid it. Sent from my iPad using...

I bought the 6000 a few years ago. I ended up getting the standard length and it barely reached the jack points on my St and wife’s MB. Ended up buying the extension tray that fits on top. Gives plenty of room to reach jack points. If I were getting one today I would get the longer version. I...

Agree which is why I always change my oil hot. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Somebody make him an offer on those brakes. You won’t be disappointed! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Oops. My bad. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
