I took a few thermal pics today from my engine and underbody with the engine running. So you can see what the hot areas are. I think that when Inpaint it i'll add some insulation in the firewall lower portion, and then of top of the exhaust at least whats under the cabin Interesting for to...

I did wrap some factory headers a few years ago in a ford ranger. It helped with the engine temps, but the cast exhaust manifold cracked after a while. I have read that wrap also voids header warranties. Mine never came apart or aything like that but it was a good brand, I believe it was DEI I...

use a clay bar, its very fast an easy, and you will be able to see what you are getting out. may need to do a few passes if the overspray is bad.

I have experience with boosted applications, what you intend to do is not that crazy, since the boost level target is pretty low (4psi). As insurance or if you experience any pinging (you shouldn't, but if you do first try to take back the ignition timing 1 degree per psi of boost) you can take...

I have considered changing the stock "sport" leaf srpings on my barracuda, they are pretty stiff on rogh roads. Just rebent them to their original arch when I got the car and have been there since. I considered the hotchkis 2-leaf spring, but do not like the idea of lowering it. I want stock...
