Putting the bottom seat cover is not that difficult. I did it as the first upholstery project I ever tried with a pair of Amazon hog ring pliers and it looked factory when done. Pretty sure there is...

NPP uses a vacuum actuated valve to open a more free flowing side of the muffler like a cutout does. I think most guys, when modifying an exhaust just use cutouts. GM did not invent the cutout valve,...

You can also build it with some nylon fuel line, but it takes a good bit of patience. You can get the bends done with a heat gun or boiling water. Boiling water is the safer but more difficult...

Meth or E85, if you are putting down 700+ at 7 lbs, add one and increase the boost. You will definitely make more power and should not be at risk at higher boost levels. E85 will cost more because...

I must be getting lucky with the hood alignment as this is the first I heard of the hole drilling trick. Never needed more than a couple adjustments. I made my daughter help me on the vert since she...

Agree with Tartaglia, if meth added 100hp everyone would run it. You also don't need multi-stage, just use a progressive controller with a solenoid. You can run as many jets as you like.

Looks like RockAuto still has some right side Z28 axles, but I have not seen any 1LE axles for a while. Pretty sure GM discontinued them.

To be on the safe side, a lot of people only run meth as insurance. In other words, they don't make the tune dependent on the additional "octane" it provides. Of course, then you leave a lot of the...

a compressor can be failing and still deliver cold air. You would have to connect some gauges and see what the high and low pressures are.

Summit has a 415 short block for $4200, $6200 for GM LS3 long block. When my vert spun a rod I had a 416 built for 7k and installed for another thousand. That included a new clutch and a cam swap.

My fan plug burned with just the stock fans running on it. I would definitely just tap into the fan feed as trigger for an additional relay with a separate power source.

That half liter difference between the SS and Zl1 TR6060s is the cooler lines and cooler. When I put diff coolers on my cars they took approximately 4.5 quarts to refill with the cooler in place.

Long duration cams respond well to steeper gears. Superchargers tend to need less gear but centrifugals come in later so you should be ok if you don't get too crazy on the power level.
