    Dyno after 1320 port job

    Recently got my car back from the shop. Got my trinity blower porter by 1320 junkie. I have attached the before and after on 100 octane torco tune. Pretty happy with the gains. I know people say it’s hard to feel that difference at these power levels, but the car feels like it pulls cleaner and...

    Noise in rear end

    My car is making a clunking noise for lack of better word when I decelerate ( most noticeable in lower gears like 4th to 1st) and it makes the same noise upon light acceleration but not quite as much as decel.

    Built engine expense

    guys, I am at a crossroads with my car. I was trying to sell it but it don’t look like I am gonna get what I want for it. Therefore, I think I will just keep it. It has 84,000 miles on it and still runs great, but if I keep it I am thinking of building the engine. I was wondering about what the...

    07-09 corsa mufflers and lethal off-road hpipe

    Corsa mufflers are original series. They most closely relate to corsa sports of today. The tips have some scratches and need to be polished. Hpipe is from lethal and is off-road. 700$ Willing to break up if need be.

    anybody ever put headers that go from 3 inch to factory axle backs (2.5)

    Thinking about pulling the trigger on a set of kooks today, but I don't really want to buy a 3 inch system because I don't want to buy a 3 inch cat back system. I already have an offroad h pipe and like the way it sounds with the stock mufflers. Its not too loud and sounds good. So I am...

    Just joined the Revan racing heat exchanger family yesterday, finally!

    Anyone who read my last thread knows I was having trouble with my car. After changing PCV valve, o2 sensors, and revising my tune, I seem to have gotten it all squared away. The car runs really strong now, and I am pretty happy. Only thing is I had to do a lot of datalogging trying to get my car...

    Bad pcv , can it cause a lost in boost pressure

    Like the title says. My car should be making 18 pounds of boost and it's at about 12. I changed the belt but that didn't help. I noticed that the connection on the pcv looks like it's leaking oil. I talked to my tuner and after reviewing my datalogs, he said I have a vacuum leak. I am gonna...

    2009 gt500 bump stop hitting?

    I have a gt500 with tvs, bigger throttle body(67), 123 cai, along with 3:73 gears. When I accelerate hard and it hooks up good, when I shift gears and get back on the gas it makes a loud bang. It would seem that after my suspension unbinds when I get off the gas, and then gets binded up again...

    Need help with rim size and tires

    Problems with 2009 gt500. Hoping it all relates to a broken Metco idler pulley

    Guys, The last few times I have used my car there have been some small problems that culminated in a big problem today. Over that time my car has had some rough starts( not all the time ) that I would have to correct by reving it up. Then my ac and heater especially would not blow out cold or...

    Got a quote on replacing my clutch

    Guys, My clutch went out recently on my 2009 gt500. I ordered a spec ss clutch, and I called the shop that I usually deal with about installing it. They quoted me 500 dollars. Does that seem like a good price? I have no idea what it costs so I can use some opinions on this.

    Hellion twin turbo guys

    I was getting quotes about putting a bigger supercharger on my car when the guy I am dealing with told me of the compound boost kit. I am very intrigued by this set up so I started researching it a bit. It seems like everyone who has it says it is the most fun they have had in a street car...

I didn't think it was a big deal because i just figured i would get on the internet and find a conversion calculator to figure out the sae ratings.
