Car is a (recently) built 5.8L, stock cams, 3.2 Kenne Bell. All the goodies. 878/832 at the wheels. Noticed the car sounded like it was lightly missing when the engine was under load... just did a compression test and #6 is especially low at 100psi. complete compression test results are as...

Just under 17psi.

Here she is.... it is a blast to drive.

http://youtu.be/EFr-XXjOWMU This is from the drags in Edmonton, AB and the truck is my brothers 82 GMC with a 496 that makes 720 at the motor. The truck beats the hellcat with a time of 11.62 @ 116 vs the Hellcat's 11.71 @ 121. There were two other Hellcat's there that night, one of which...

This is too neat not share on here.. (video link at bottom) A 1968 Firebird Sprint. This came with a 4bbl, 4spd combo on the overhead cam 250ci engine. Its my dads car and upon purchase of it 15 years ago he was tempted to make it a 400 big block. Being that the straight 6 Overhead Cam engine...

Preparing to do a build on my 2011. Since the car will be getting torn apart, I am looking to get my hands on a few things... -Dual fan heat exchanger -Long tube headers -Catless H pipe -Driver Side Oil Separator Not interested in damaged goods. I will not low ball offer anyone but...

Looking for advice and suggestions on what I should use for Pistons and Rods in my 2011 5.4L. Performance goals will be in that 750-900 region, boosting anywhere from 15 - 21psi with a 3.2 KB. Budget goals..... as cheap as possible with out having to worry about being in the busted motor...

Has anyone ever found that their lap top was causing problems with tuning their car? Just did a 3.2 KB install, had the car running then lost the stock tune off my X3. I've had SCT load a recovery file on to my device 4 times since then and no matter what tune I put on the car, it will crank...

I am unbelievably frustrated. I almost had to punch a wall to keep from yelling at the top of my lungs. I finished the whole KB install without having to call anyone for help. I went out and bought a new laptop because I needed one with Windows (I'm a MAC guy). I loaded the initial Lund tune on...

Looking to buy a Kenne Bell 2.8/3.6 OR a 3.4 Whipple Crusher. I would prefer to get a full intake, TB, BAP, etc. kit but for a good enough deal I am willing to try acquiring parts separately. send me a PM and let me know if you have something! Thanks! Marc

I am about to buy 15x10 and 17x4.5 race stars and am looking for some Hoosiers to wrap them in. Does anyone have recommendations for tire sizes? My car has 3.55 gears so I'm trying to figure out if i should be running a 28 or 27 diameter tire as well.

My airbag light on my tach has been lit up for a while now and when I plug in my code reader nothing comes up for codes. I have tried unhooking the battery for a period of time and that will clear the light but only for a minute or two. I have zero trust or faith in my local Ford service...

As some may have read, I had some issues with my car and the #4 coil/plug cavity filling up with water and causing my car to misfire when at high rpms. The car would run fine at cruising speeds though. I changed out the spark plugs, changed the oil, put dielectric grease in all the coil tips and...

Trying to change the rear pads on my car and I can't compress the caliper piston. I have gone as far as to completely disconnect the fluid lines, bleed. Currently have caliper completely removed from car and using the "caliper tool" and pipe wrench. No luck. Any tips!?

Quick back story before I get in to it… its a 2011, engine is completely stock except for a 2.5 pulley and a VMP 91 tune. Car has 50,000kms on it. I was doing some pulls on the highway tonight, 40mph - 120ish and I noticed right away that the blower was making a weird fluttering noise (I...

The wife and I are flying in to LA next month and have plans to tour all around California for about 12 days. We are going to be renting a vehicle and by all means I would much rather have something somewhat nice to cruise in (maybe even a 'vert) rather than a boring compact. Does anyone know...

I have been thinking quite a bit about a 3.6 for my 2011 and my car does have a SS hood but I have heard that I will still need to use the 1/2 inch lowering motor mounts… Im not sure if anyone has had any luck without using those with a SS hood? Also, by lowering the engine 1/2 inch will that...

Looks like I have finally saved up enough money to purchase a reasonably priced used 2.8 or 3.6 Kenne Bell. If anyone has one they are thinking of getting rid of give me a shout. I do live in Canada (saskatchewan) but I dont have a problem covering the shipping costs provided the price of...

Are there any shorty headers on the market for our cars? If so, can someone please share some insight on their experience with them. I would like to know how they do performance wise and if they make the exhaust much louder. I am planning on doing a KB 3.6 install on my car and will be...

Is anyone else going? The wife and I bought tickets a few hours ago, garden seats! We will be making the trip from Canada, still undecided if we will drive the car or fly down!!!! Beyond excited. Saw Heaven and Hell with Dio in Calgary when they toured in what must have been 06 or 07? I hope...

I was talking with someone from a local performance shop and he told me that the stock bottom end on my 5.4 will not hold up over time with a 3.6 KB, even if only running 17psi of boost. He then told me that a 2.8 would be a much safer blower for my car. For some reason I find it hard to believe...

I was able to borrow a pit from a local shop last thursday to install my new aluminum driveshaft from Shaftmasters, BMR Safety Loop and MRT OR H Pipe. I did the work myself and it took me a total of 3.5 hours, but it was a LONG 3.5 hours!!! The only real struggle was removing the original H pipe...

I am installing a OR H pipe tomorrow afternoon and hitting the road for a 400 mile trip ASAP. Unfortunately I had asked Justin at VMP if I could update my tune with my MacBook and he did not respond so I figured it wasn't a issue. Well it looks like it is. I have no easy access to non Mac...

This is BS. All I need to do is update my tune for the install of a cat delete H pipe and of course I can't update the tune on my SCT through my MacBook. This is a royal PITA. I find it fairly lame that they can't get some sort of program together so that the operation could be performed on a Mac.
