Most motors make the most power at around 12.8 AFR. This is not the most efficient though. The Ford engineers calculated the engine size required to make sufficient power for trucks at a more efficient or optimum stoich (basically 14.7:1 AFR). Turns out a 440 cubic inch engine (7.3L) was the...

Thrust to weight baby....

What company is your son in?

For food, I think it was about $700 for groceries/ice for 4 people for a week. Lots of meal planning involved to make it efficient. Gas is 3 mpg for a typical I/O small block. Figure out your mileage and fuel use based on that. Assume you are going to have to get gas at Dangling Rope and...

EFI is a significant improvement. Biggest downside is the initial cost. But...once you have the EFI system it can be used on virtually any motor should your tastes change down the line.

GM Authority is anything but an authority when it comes to this stuff..

They are too new, not enough miles, nor enough data to make any claims as to the reliability.

Not sure if you are interested in wrenching yourself but depending on which bank the glow plug is bad on the job can be done at home. The hardest part is clearing the stuff to get at the valve cover and the two rear valve cover bolts. The glow plugs are cheap. Get the Ford OEM plugs, they...

I would not waste any time looking anywhere else other than Palomar Solar. These guys get it. Andy sized my system DEAD ON. I am 4 years into a 6 year ROI and he nailed it. ZERO issues with the system or install.

That is a gross misunderstanding of how the flying and process actually operates. SWA 737 pilots are no better, nor worse than any other US commercial 737 pilots.

Get a Miele Marin. You will never go back to a shitty vacuum again. Worth every penny.

Just an FYI. i suggest going to each aiines website to reaearch prices and connections. This summer I priced 3 tickets on Southwest round trip SAN to BWI. $3800. I shit you not. Went to another major airline website and 3 round trip FIRST CLASS tickets were $400 less. Booked tickets three...

This is the biggest mistake I see over and over and over again with kitchens. Installing a microwave above the stove. The microwaves usually cannot stand the heat of any real burner system and even if they have a fan. In addition they lack sufficient flow to do any good nor do they vent...

Couple of points to make. Spend some time on the Chevy site and learn about the options and packages. It takes a little time. The car only comes with one motor option and one transmission. 6.2L LT2 and the 8 speed DCT. I would be hesitant of modifying the exhaust as it comes with stainless...

If I recall this motor was specifically designed, or rather scaled up in displacement, to reach required power levels at leaner AFRs, closer to stoich. So it's not so much the power its making but for fuel efficiency for it's size.

Good thing they didn't hold it at WOT very long. Watch the coolant intake hose to the water pump. It collapses on each throttle burst or at high rpm.

Wow, at least you had help an people that caught the problem. I have my bunks thru-bolted with counter sunk heads on the top side so they won't come off (at least that's the theory).

Sat in one today. Probably the best seats I've sat in for any Corvette, and possibly any car to date. Head room will be tight for some and I feel this will be the biggest issue. Leg room is slightly better than the C7 from my limited seat time. In spite of having a shorter nose, it still...

While I give him credit for getting in the air, that was a marginal dunk if that. Getting thown the ball mid air is MUCH easier than going up with it one or two handed.

Some of the TB systems (555 Smartcraft?) are fly by wire.
