Wilwood 6 Piston Caliper brake pad question
And here's the really fun part: If you have the pad plate dimensions, you will never be unable to get brake pads. Ever. At the worst, you can have an outfit like sendcutsend make you a pile of pad plates, and then send them to Hawk or Porterfield or EBC, and they will put friction material on...- Turbo6inKY

Wilwood 6 Piston Caliper brake pad question
This is a bizarre circumstance. Summit sells me EBC Bluestuff and Yellowstuff for that caliper all day long and six ways to Sunday. Here's the thing: Wilwood calipers have a pad plate. That's the dimensions of the metal plate the friction material is glued to. That pad plate is standard, and...- Turbo6inKY

Another Oil Question
Oil isn't a detergent. It's oil. The additive package might have a detergent in it, but oil is not a detergent.- Turbo6inKY

8445 heads milling whats the max that can be removed and still be okay?
Pay attention to the lifters. Take enough off and you'll want shorter pushrods to prevent the lifters from bottoming out. Depending on how much you've shaved off, the intake manifold may need to be shaved to get the holes to line back up.- Turbo6inKY

Dual fan
The stock harness cannot safely operate two fans. It should only be used as a trigger for a dedicated fan harness and relay setup that's connected directly to the battery.- Turbo6inKY

A tale of bad grounds and crankshaft sensors
So, followup. Had an autocross this past Sunday. Car did really well until the last run, it popped and backfired approaching the finish. Scared me. it was the last run, and it was still running fine after I crossed the lights, so I loaded it on the trailer and decided to just get home and pull...- Turbo6inKY

Guest-Bots AI, They're Here And Choking Up Other Boards, Time For War!!!
AI will ruin what's left of the internet that's not already ruined. Folks need to prepare for abandonment of mainstream social media and these forums will need to go invite-only at some point.- Turbo6inKY

Anyone use the complete UMI rotojoint rear end control arm set?
Ridetech's joints use a rubberish race.- Turbo6inKY

A tale of bad grounds and crankshaft sensors
It's a flat circuit board that plugs into the engine harness where the ignition/coil assembly plugs in. It loops the signals from the crank and cam sensors back directly to the ECUGN. If you get your COP harness from TurboTweak it'll come with the board:- Turbo6inKY

Looking for the answer you want and the answer you need is not the same thing. That Chevelle as shipped doesn't have nearly as much NVH mitigation as a G-body. The noise might not matter. But poly bushings will fall apart on you at some point. The poly eventually crumbles. Those delrin raced...- Turbo6inKY

They'll be fine for drag racing. The more important part would be UMI's lower control arm/coil over brackets with the multiple LCA mount holes. Very easy instant center adjustment, and that's what you need.- Turbo6inKY

A tale of bad grounds and crankshaft sensors
Posting for posterity. I hope this helps somebody in the future. I just got done troubleshooting and fixing a really frustrating electrical issue. The car has an ECUGN and I'm using the coil near plug option. The car has been running great this year until July 13, 2025, at an Indianapolis...- Turbo6inKY

I don't have that exact set, but they are a superior solution to poly in every circumstance as long as you keep up with them. If you street drive it at all, you'll want to keep them clean and periodically disassemble them and get all the trash out. Might want to get spare delrin inserts for them...- Turbo6inKY
