Hmm, I wasn't aware that it would be an engine dyno. Wouldn't that kinda be useless tho. I mean, we all use chasis dynos. An engine dyno would just give inflated numbers. But I guess it would be easier and and more convenient to use an engine dyno. I wonder if the vendors would have to get permission from the actual manufacturer to participate...

Engine dynos are the best controlled environment and this is the best way to measure any gains in hp and TQ.

Never mind finally found the info I needed.

There is also something with the oil temp guage, it doesn't show the actual oil temp, rather it shows the CPUs guess of what the oil temp is. So according to your oil temp guage it will show the oil cooler does nothing lol. I have an earls oil cooler.

If we are talking about the "Header Shootout" I'm all for it and I believe the engine dyno is the best way for us to decipher which headers perform the best. Yes the numbers will be higher than a chassis dyno but they will be more consistent.

I think I was one of if not the first to say start a PayPal account and get some donations. I'm all for throwing in some cash tho get some reliable numbers.

From post#1 of Jason's call out.

I've already done the testing on a lot of brands before, but I'd be happy to do it with a few camaro5 guys if we can get some guys that want to come down and help.

That's the best way to get a good honest side by side comparison.....

Jason is donating time and facilities like stated.

Just need a few more manufacturers or vendors to volunteer their products.

What's a link to that thread? I don't think I ever saw it.

The oil does not come thru the radiator. It has its own cooler right next to the block on the driver side just above the pan.

Ya I know about the puny one on the side of the block, see it every time I change the oil. I can't remember who but someone said it ran through the radiator as well? Thought that was a little odd. Trans yes but oil?



I couldn't help it. I had to ask him.

One less kid in my house! Glad that's over with. Now i have a car to spit shine for the car show tomorrow. We saw the heartland camaro caravan headed to kc on our way back. Looked pretty sharp!

[SolomonAKOO]

where would be the best place to install my Tfitting and fuel pressure sending unit for my Pressure gauge? Or does it not matter, just anywhere on the fuel line?

I'd hook mine up at the tip of the rail. Just remove the schrader valve (put lots of rags when it spills, it's slow so don't worry) then make sure you put a lil Teflon tape and screw the gauge on it. Or what kind of gauge do you have?
