While the early (pre 17) C7 Z06s were prone to going into limp mode after extended abuse, people blow it way out of proportion. Most "failures" - going into limp mode - occur on days where its >90 degrees out, and usually on later sessions in the day. Main issue was high IATs pulling timing...

Does anyone know if it is legal to drive passengers in the bed of a pick up truck? I cant seem to find a solid answer for this. I also live in Illinois if that matters. Thank you.

I picked up a set of 28x11.5 ET Streets for the Lightning and decided to do some burnouts and see how they work on the street. Just having a little fun on a nice day. And my favorite, wrinkling the tires on the street!

I am always reading of guys with 6 lb pulleys that are seeing 14-15lbs of boost. I have a a 4lb lower and a 2.76 upper and only get 12lbs, verified on the dyno. (puts thoughts of a faulty boost gauge to rest) When I got the truck tuned by Bob Kurgan, a very reputable tuner in the chicagoland...

I have an SCT XCal 2 for my 2000 Lightning and was wondering if it is possible to datalog another vehicle with it. My buddy has a 2004 6.0 PSD f250 and wanted me to datalog some things. When I hook up the XCal, it gives a message on live link saying that it cant connect to the vehicles ECU. Is...

when i had my truck tuned, i had a K&N intake off an 03 cobra (money was tight and it was cheap). i just picked up a JLP air intake and was wondering if i would need to get the truck retuned or if it will be fine to just throw the intake on and let it rip.

After taking my freshly tuned 00L to the track and only being able to trap 100 MPH, I decided to do some datalogging. On the dyno, both the horsepower and torque curves were smooth, nothing out of the ordinary. The truck made 397 RWHP and 491 RWTQ with an AFR or 11.8 and 18.5* of timing. I...

My truck just doesn't seem to trap where it should for the mods. last year, i went 13.0 @ 103 on a 1.8 60' with a mail order tune and then i just took it out last week with the same mods but with a full dyno tune and could only muster a 13.5 @ 100 with a 1.9 60'. I know the 60' are poor but...

I was just wondering if anyone in the Milwaukee area would be interrested in getting a cruise together before the end of the year. Nice weather is running out and I was thinking it would be nice to get together with a group of cars for one more cruise. Let me know if anyone ios interrested

I just got my 2000 tuned by Bob Kurgan of Kurgan Motorsports and I highly reccommend him for anyone in the Illinois area for a tune. He's a great guy and really worked on a complete tune, not just WOT. I ended up with 397.54 RWHP and 490.91 RWTQ on a 93 octane tune with 18.5 degrees of timing...

For my final project in my technical composition class, I am writing about the differenced between Roots, Screw-type, and Centrifugal superchargers. I got most of it complete and was looking for something that I believe would be a good visual aid. Does anyone know if any magazines did a side...

I think that nitrous is a great way for a college student like me to get the power for at the track without dropping 3500 on a twin screw. I was just wondering how safe it would be to run nitrous on a stock long block. I have 6lb pulley, ported blower, intake, upper plenum, throttle body, and...

I went to the track for opemind day this year and it was awesome. So many beautiful fast cars. Track was not so good tho. This was my first outing with the ported blower, built trans and bassani exhaust. last year, i went 13.0 @ 102 on a 1.8 60'. this time out i only managed a 2.6 60' and...

I was wondering if anyone could explain how a MAF extender works. As a student in the mechanical and software engineering field, I would like to create my own MAF extender and was looking for a bit of info reguarding the actual operation of one.

just looking at the engine bay of my L to do some cleaning, i noticed an electrical connection was missing. i have no idea what it is. i posted a picture of a truck with it and circled it so if someone knows, that would be great. thanks

Just wondering if any engineers in here are familiar with MATLAB and could explain looping for me. The teacher for the class really doesnt do much to help so I am pretty much on my own. My question is when should I be using a for loop and when a while loop? Also could you explain how the...
