The last time i built an LS engine i packed the oil pump with vaseline to prime it, is this the recommended way to do it still or is there a better way that i dont know of?

Why do you think the Apex CC is any better than the Elite? It's all about preference. As long as you have a good one, there's no real reason to switch to another one, other than preference.

LOL I was joking. I'm not changing catch cans. There are other people, however, who are taking their perfectly good catch can off their car, just because of the way it's mounted, or because of the "newness" of a product being released.

BT should gives us all free head hardware for all we've advertised for him. haha.

I actually think the way Chase mounts his is a little wonky. Not mounting it to the engine seems like a failure. I was looking at the pics in that thread and his is mounted to the radiator or above it. I was like WTF?

But yea, makes me want to sell my Elite and get one too.

10 inches of rain today while on vacation and the streets are flooded. Now I am kinda glad we ended up with that POS Jeep.

Ok Zeke and Solomon. I got the switches today, and as soon as i soldered on them their integrity was questionable. I'm falling back to a black toggle switch that i can get locally. I just have to paint a dot on them or something so you can tell which signal is switched in. I should still have one done tomorrow. Which of you already has their wideband, and what model is it? If one of you is ready to try it out, i'll send one to you first so we can find any problems before i make more of them.

I need some help if y'all can. Explain all the reasons for a single disc clutch and a twin disc clutch. After doing some reading on them I have found that some people and manufactures say the single disc feels more like stock and others (manufactures included) say the twin disc feels more like stock? Maybe it varies by brand? I've also read that the twin disc is easier to slip when trying to launch at the track or just when trying to take of from a red light in normal driving with a healthy cam. Is this correct or would a single disc be easier? Any input and whatever else y'all might have to add is appreciated.
