Well, glad I'm replacing this fuel hose. When I was bending to pull off(talking about the cracking, the white braid is because I cut it):

Got the rest of my painless powerbraid!

 

On another note, I'm replacing the blue hose in the pic before too long. Think I'll go with red next, match the plug wires (and car).

 

Eventually I'll put a metal radiator hose on. Not sure if I'll do polished or powdercoated.

DONE! Think it took around 8 hours. Bundling the wires, zip tying them, routing them, measuring the braid, etc takes longer than I would have ever thought, and I'm only kinda pleased with the results some before pics are a few pages back.

Here is the before for reference:.

Also did the million wires coming out of the MSD box in the middle of the under dash area, but phone didn't want to focus.

I finally got around to installing the Elite Engineering Catch-can, Roto-Fab cold air intake and GTO clutch reservoir on the Camaro. Took me a while, total 3hrs. Not that any of it was hard, just was super hot and humid and I was totally soaked in sweat by the time I was done. I had a hard time getting some of the lines off the intake. The release tab was underneath and hard to get to with my hands.

Why GM incorporated the clutch fluid in with the brake fluid is beyond me, but they did and this is one of the many little changes most are doing since the clutch fluid gets contaminated quickly. Makes for easy change out of fluid.

The catch-can seems to be another hot item to have installed on these LS engines. I noticed that when I pulled the line off my intake it was covered in oil. So this should help keep the oil out of the intake.

The Roto-Fab cold air intake is a nice addition and it also allows for better engine song to escape from under the hood under WOT. smile.gif

Yes, I need to clean up under the hood, it is a mess. What do you expect for it having only 6k miles on the thing, to be spotless? biggrin.gif

Well I got around to changing the oil today. I have 7k miles on it and this oil has 3k miles with a PF48 filter. Sending in a sample to see how it looks. Took it out for about an hour of drive time to get things warmed up and came in off the interstate and right up on the ramps to change the oil. I also took the time to install my skip shift. It will be a year since I purchased it from Apex over their Christmas special. So now no more skip shift.

Love the funnel. It just screws right in like the oil cap. Keeps things nice and clean for the oil change and hands free.

Next oil change I'll install the Ea15k50 oil filter on it. I had the PF48 so I just used it for now. I figure this will be in until next September since I don't put that many miles on it. Although they are fun "hard" miles. :lol:

where did you get that funnel?

Got if off Amazon. GM oil filler tool. What stinks is a local store here had them on the shelf cheaper for like $19.

Nice boat. How much HP?

Thanks! She is making a little over 1100HP

    • The BORA 3/8" spacers arrived yesterday along with the extended lug nuts. I got the front wheels changed out today, but was overheated and covered in sweat so bad, I figured getting both front wheels done was a win, and took a cool shower. Hopefully, I'll go out tomorrow morning before it gets into the 80+ temps and do the backs. After getting the first wheel snugged up, I backed out one of the lug nuts then hand turned to count threads. I believe I stopped counting around 12-13, so I think I'm good there.    
    • My fullsize truck is averaging over 26mpg so I'm pretty happy with the increased fuel economy targets. When I had my gas Silverado (2020 5.3) it was averaging 21. Again, for a fullsize truck, that's very different from the 12-15 these things used to get 30 years ago.   Whine all you want, increased MPG is a good thing.
    • That is a fair point, and I think an OBD-first proof is probably the right next step. I agree that the value is not the hardware box by itself. The marketable part would be the software: always-on capture, baseline learning, event reduction, system-specific reports, and alerts. Also agreed that if an OBD device is always plugged in and has local storage, it should not miss the event in the same way that a scanner plugged in after the fact would. The only thing I would not want to assume yet is that an ELM327-class device gives all the late-GM data needed at the rate needed. Standard OBD live data, DTCs, freeze frame, Mode 6, VIN, and calibration information are definitely the right starting point. GDS2 also proves that a lot of useful ECM data can be viewed through the DLC without needing a DTC first. The question I need to test is whether the data needed for a useful GM V8 event report is actually available through the DLC, and at a useful sample rate: - misfire counts / roughness by cylinder - AFM/DFM state - oil pressure and oil temperature - fuel trims - voltage / reset context - U-codes and communication events - calibration / software information - whether these are standard PIDs, enhanced DIDs, Mode 6 data, GDS2-only data, or not available So I think the right benchmark is: 1. Build the OBD-only version first. 2. Keep it plugged in and logging locally. 3. Compare it against GDS2 / freeze frame / HP Tuners or another higher-end logger. 4. Measure which parameters are available and at what update rate. 5. Only justify ECM-side hardware if it captures useful evidence the OBD version cannot. So you may be right: the consumer product might simply be an always-plugged-in OBD event recorder with much better reporting. A question for you: when you say ELM327 devices can already deliver all the data needed, do you mean generic OBD Mode 01 data only, or GM enhanced data as well? For a useful GM V8 report, would generic OBD data be enough, or would you expect the tool to include enhanced items like misfire by cylinder, AFM/DFM state, oil pressure/oil temp, U-codes, and calibration information?
