If you are adding it to an oil that is already blended then yes, it’s snake oil at that point.

I’ve used some Lucas stuff. It’s good stuff but it’s certainly not top shelf oils. I think LS jr. was testing just the additives and not the oil. I’m pretty sure that I’m almost 100% against any additives. The only exception is for the additive for limited slip diffs. An additive like that...

Good plan. More dogs will be coming your way. I have 4 dogs that need to be rehomed immediately. I may drop them at your place.

Does your pump have female pipe or are they inverted flare fittings?? A rumor I heard (and now I’m spreading) that these inverted flare fittings are coming with the wrong flare. I haven’t seen it myself yet but I’m hearing complaints that it’s true.

.750 lift has become commonplace. We need to be up to .950 where the big dogs eat.

That’s what he SHOULD be doing.

That’s all good and fine but is the dogs play area finished? If not, why are you working on car junk when the dog are in dire straits with no play area.

I’ve been meaning to ask if you still had a pro stock hood scoop for sale. I thought you had one for sale. If so and you want to sell it PM me.

That is a sure sign of detonation. Whatever you do, you have to get that under control. Water injection if you must but a good curve in the distributor and getting the coolant temp down to 180 or less (160 would be best) and double check the heat range of the plugs. I’d be looking at the rod...

Modern (if that’s what it really is because we are stuck with it) pump fuel has a fairly slow burn rate and it vaporizes very poorly. Pour a cup of pump gas on the floor and watch it. Then do the same with a race fuel and watch the difference. If you really want to check things out, do the...

They should match. If they don’t, believe the plug. But verify that too because you can be lean on the plug and dead rich in the chamber. That doesn’t look lean from what I can see. You really need an otoscope to look into the shell of the plug where it meets the porcelain. There should be an...

Seen this thing damn near get a car burning.

Are there any straight PAO oils on the market any more?? IIRC (and I may not be) Red Line was a straight PAO. Maybe it still is. I forget the limits of a Straight PAO base oil but again IIRC there are some different obstacles to overcome using that base oil.

Yup

That’s crank power. 9% what??
