No kidding, Delco actually gets good reviews on their Oil filters! Everything else is complete shit, but they make good oil filters! smile.gif

I can attest that FRAM filters ARE indeed junk. In numerous tests they have completely failed miserably. They make good air filters, but their oil filters are complete and total shit.

What brand and model would you use? Why?

 

Just for arguments sake let's say it's going on a:

 

Buick 3800 V6, 8.5:1 comp ratio, FWD, 3.69 final drive ratio on the transaxle

 

I know we have quite a few supercharger experts so I wanted to see some thoughts. smile.gif

My research has only been for a turbo car, but a 1600F coating would be borderline for me. The stuff I was looking at is rated to 2000F, and is a thermal barrier.

Mark, keep me updated please. There is a certain 4 door V6 that will need it's headers coated this winter and requires the same degree coating that you are looking into. (Damn M90!) smile.gif

Just coat them in butter and be done with it.

I will definitely come over and laugh!

Heated = Yes

 

It is DIRECTLY across the street from the Autozone, we made good use of it last winter.

 

Marc, thank you for the offer. I have a garage this year I can work in, but I will prolly be there over the winter to help my boyz out.

We'll see soon. tongue.gif

I'm gonna get flamed for this but generally I change my oil every 2500 miles or after two race days. I know, I'm wasting money but who cares? $30 is better insurance for me to know my engine is happy. smile.gif

 

I'm gonna get Royal Purple this time and try it out. Here's a good question:

 

What weight should I run? The car will not be seeing winter except for maybe a quick romp one or two days if there isn't snow and or salt on the ground. Stick with 10W-30? What's best for performance?

LOL!!! smile.gif

Haha, that's funny.

I'm thinking of trying Royal Purple oil in the GTP. Does anyone have any good info about it? Anyone comapired it to Mobil 1?

 

Thanks. smile.gif

Just bought my Helmet today. smile.gif

 

M00 Approved = Snell 2000 so it's good for the track.

 

Gonna custom paint it tomorrow

Why do you care?

If you try to have a healthy Alternator charge a totally or almost totally dead bettery IAD will occur.

 

IAD = "Instant ALternator Death"

 

Charge the battery first dude smile.gif

Well damnit! I need a helmet soon and I don't want to order one online...

 

Anyone know where to get an NHRA Approved Helmet?

Why the hell does Jegs sell M00 and SA00 approved helmets if you can't use them?

English?

 

Yes or No? graemlins/asshole.gif

Can I use an M00 Approved Helmet for NHRA 13.99 Helmet requirements?

 

Thanks smile.gif

I retract my post.

 

That is why I don't work on imports

My vote goes for the Thermostat sticking. smile.gif

 

Ignore Berto, he's an idiot. tongue.gif

Right... if the transfer case doesn't work that means the FRONT WHEELS won't be able to pull. See, the truck is RWD with the 4x4 making it a 4WD. Duh. How many 4WD trucks are FWD with optional RWD to make 4WD? duh again. tongue.gif
