    Hoosier DR3 ?

    If you look at the height vs tread width between the 2 sizes its about a wash...275 a bit taller the 295 a bit wider. From what i could find, they are said to be best on the street ,unprepped surface,.. and they ware fast. The newer Hoosier" logo is growing on me.. Hoosier must be very proud of...

    Valve Spring Locators

    Someone has to know if there is a hardened washer or a locator in a pocket under valve spring from the factory?

    Valve Spring Locators

    I've been advised i need to be 100% sure i have locators.My heads where done by a very good machine shop 10 years ago. I have no recall if i have locators or what. Are there locators or a hardened washer under the spring OEM?

    Not custom ..they offer very little for Buicks..just off the shelf grinds..but informed me how they give #3 special attention as mentioned.

    Is it time to change oil viscosity?

    What if i told you ive run 2 engines now with flattys from Bullet (soon to be 3)who cuts almost 3000th more tapper into #3 lobe face than anyone else and use a lifter coating that works great. I can't say i have 20,000 miles on either ..but plenty of WOT pulls. oil and cams look new..both with...

    AXIS ?

    To be clear...its not auto correction like a 6.1+wideband..its a program that tell the injectors when and how long based off that larger airflow gr/sec reading and Eric's knowledge? Eric's reply to me>" "With the Axis, you can read the MAF at WOT (to 512gr or 768gr depending on setup), and use...

    AXIS ?

    Thanks for all the above.. I some what gather that above the 255gr/sec Eric is making an educated guess from his years of experience and research. With the Axis, reading to 512, fuel can be matched more accurately as air is seen in a larger window ? my theory/guess. I think i will post this on...

    AXIS ?

    Looking into the advantage of the Axis reading over the 255gr/sec to 512. I have the basic 5.7 chip that im pretty good a tuning now..after 10 yrs of that. Eric makes the base tune in the chip for my mods and i take it from there with my wideband readings thru fuel/timing adjustments and its...

    Is it time to change oil viscosity?

    Interesting take ..it is a very very long read..curious how much you read? Tests are test..they have results..some methods are more definitive than others .. deny all you like..but rocks are hard and water is wet. Some things ARE surely fact.

    Is it time to change oil viscosity?

    I’ve had mine over 280 a couple times. This was at a hill climb contest close proximity to Death Valley, and there are times when we’re the hottest place on earth. Car runs like shit .. can't imagine how you would get to 300* unless hot lapping a huge engine? Take an average of film strength...
