Nice - forced induction! I'll be doing that to the Silverado once I replace the rest of the failure-prone driveline. Trans and rear are ready - just got the engine and transfer case left.

 

Back in the day my buddy had a spankin' new '93 Cobra. He put a Paxton supercharger on it, along with a bunch of other goodies. Went good, but never impressed me with its power output like the newer stuff does. Those centrifugal superchargers can't compete with a roots type.

   Thank you! Think since Ford did this out of factory on the ‘03-04 Cobra, it started other manufacturers supercharging vehicles. 
   Have a buddy who has his second ‘93 Cobra and those are definitely keepers! With my stock blower, I get instant 500+ftlbs torque under 1800rpms to the wheels. It will break my drag radials lose at 60mph.

Beautiful day out here today, but we're not quite there yet. Still snow piles melting here and there. I'll probably wait another month before we roll the Marquis out of hibernation. With the cold nights, some towns will lay down the brine if there's even a hint of moisture. We always err on the side of caution there, and will wait rather than risk a salt bath. One of the many joys of living here ... 😒

 

I don't know which I was oo'ing and aaah'ing over more, the car, or that slick alignment rack! Both are sweet! Is that a modern GT-40? I didn't even know Ford was building those.

 

A quick Google search answered my own question. Ford GT. Pretty sharp looking. Not sure how I feel about a 6 powering that, even twin snailed. Just seems wrong to have an American supercar without a V8 under the hood. I'd imagine there's a thick price tag on that one, too - I didn't bother to look ...

@RyanbabZ71 - where's his place located?  I'm assuming up near Indy?  If so, I wouldn't mind stopping in on the next one.  I live down here near Louisville.

The shop is in Brownsburg indiana, just west of Indy. It is right across the street from John Forces Shop.

The next one is April 3rd. His plan is to have one monthly

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By revmanii · Posted

      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.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Atlas · Posted

      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.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      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?
