I'd be interested in a deal on any performance parts if anybody has something they are looking to get rid of. I have some NICE car audio & video for sale or trade. I currently only have cat back duel's with duel chamber Flowmasters. I'd realy like to finish that up with a good set off long tube headers. I have the K&N as you can see from the pics and the Hypertec Power programer 3 that I'd like to replace with a good engine managment program and a lap top if anybody has any sugestions on any of that it would be appreciated. Im just not realy happy with the limited options the hypertec gives me. :cool: lol!

 

Merry Christmas All!!

I have dropped it a total of 5 inches in the rear and 3 inches in the front with drop spindles and stiffer coil springs that are the same height as the factory springs. I really don't have any problem's with bottoming out unless I am driving recklessly :confused: and hit a big dip or bump in the road. I have some other stuff done to the suspension and it holds the road like no other!

Michael, I have to know more about the shaker scoop and that "aluminum" looking piece just to the right of it. (passenger side)

 

This has got to be the scoop off a late 70s or early 80s Trans Am. I had a 77 TA and the shaker scoop looked exactly like this.

 

Tell us more about this.

 

I may cut a hole in the hood of my Wife's Yukon XL LOL :cheers: . Not unless I want to be sleeping in it.

Thanks a lot guys! :) I've wanted a TA with the shaker hood since I can remember, so when I saw the hood for the first time I fell in love. I have been trying to find someone who sells it since before I bought it. For a while I thought it might be a custom but about a week ago I found out its made by Keystone GoodHood. You can buy the non-functional for about a thousand dollars or get the functional which is around $400 more. Its all fiberglass and fits like It was made by GM.

The aluminum looking peace that I think your talking about is where the air flows from the shaker into the hood through. The hood is hollow and routes the cold air up to the K&N. You can see a little better in this next pic. I also threw a few pics of my interior in.

Man, I really dig the 2 tone seats. I want to do something like that one day, when I get the money. :)

 

 

EDIT: BTW, about how much did it cost to get that done, I think it's pretty sweet.

so, my question is, what are the benefits of the shaker as oppose to the stock setup? is that the actual intake now?is it like cowl induction? the same? it looks really cool and ive always liked the cowl induction look- but i would only get it if it was functional.

      I'm suborn like that Ed. There's a plaque in my doctor office that says, "Don't quit, take a break." Works for allot of things.    Reality is, the wife loves her SUV and even given it's issues, she'd buy another if she found one with low enough miles. Then again she has me to maintain it.    Most of what ails this thing is GM shooting themselves in the foot and by extension the buyer. Besides a ridiculous breather system the cat warm up strategy, IMHO, is the dumbest thing I've ever seen an OEM do to a vehicle they warranty. On cold start it r-e-t-a-r-d-s the ignition to like -17* ATDC and dump fuel like kicking over a pail to force combustion in the CAT's for rapid warm up. This literally hoses the oil off cylinder walls and creates enough varnish precursors to stick rings in even well maintained engines. THEN if that wasn't bad enough they recommend using a wanting fluid specification at equally stupid interval.    Common to all GDI motors I'm aware of is this silly practice of driving the HPFP off the cam giving a leaking pump direct and unchecked access to the crankcase. And sir, eventually the ALL leak. Your job is to "catch it if you can". Yes, these are the same people that removed dipsticks from engines and transmissions in belief Joe Average wasn't capable of checking, reading and maintain his own vehicles fluids. Sadly  and in large they were correct. Most people these days can't tell a sparkplug from a fire plug.  Great ideas one and all.    Every move and every error calculated to defend themselves from the law and their own customers.

      Most online suppliers and Amazon. All have noted "not for use with Bose speakers".

      Very interesting thread. Definitely didn’t expect to see this kind of mileage out of that engine.

      J&L OIL SEPARATOR CO

      Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.

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

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.
