    Cervinis Hood Fitment

    I purchased one of their hoods a few years back and installed it myself in my garage. I know I had to play with hinges… can’t remember details, but in the end fit is perfect and they also matched the color very well.

    Heck yes... Ignite Red/114 is my favorite fuel. I had a drum delivered by the local distributor here in north Texas a couple years ago for like $450. It didn’t last long.

    Dang it must have been pretty bad to change back. I’d trade some low end torque for top end power in a heartbeat... my low end power is way more than what’s usable with my Pilot Super Sports. I can’t even punch it in 3rd on the hwy without spinning all over the road. That’s why I probably...

    That’s impossible... I read on the internet that your engine will explode! ;)

    I drive pretty hard but will not take it to a track... only racing has been rolls on the HWY which is not as hard on the engine and trans... and no DRs until built engine and trans either... clutch wouldn’t last a week!

    Tuning and e85 just prevent detonation... which causes most thrown rods. That aside, totally agree that if you run balls to the wall all the time, rpms will probably sooner or later wear it out and it will let go. If you have 600-700 whp on a stock 4.6 3v block, you should either have plans...

    Just curious... I’ve never used “race gas” ... did you have your car tuned for that race gas and it still detonated and threw a rod? e85 is about 108 octane... e90 about 114, but I don’t want to get away from the most important difference between e85 and gasoline. Y’all may already know this...

    Wish I was that close... I’m in Texas so have to do the repetitive log-email-log-email-log-email... thing until the tuner is happy with what he sees. That GT450 manifold is awesome. If I was to change the blower... that is absolutely what I would do... install the DOB GT450 and buy a...

    Yep this. It’s all about tuning and if possible run ethanol to keep her burning cooler. Run ethanol and have a good not-too-agreesive tune and you’ll never see detonation and never have a problem. I would recommend VMP tuning service to anyone with a 3V... only service I’ve ever used and the...

    I’m running a Saleen VI with a 2.80” upper and +15% lower... boost gauge shows 15-16lbs under WOT... also Mosaleen no slip system to control belt slip... works great. I also of course have a huge triple pass double fan VMP heat exchanger... this is a must for 15psi on a Saleen VI and it does...

    Saleen SC Oil

    If it was more often than 50,000 miles or whatever, it would drive me insane. But this blower really is great IMO... I’ve got the Brenspeed Detroit blower cam, kooks longtube and h-pipe setup, +15% lower, 2.80 upper, and my boost gauge hits 16psi going all out even with all the...

    Exhaust pipe hitting upper panhard bar support brace?

    This is why I like this forum and enjoy owning an S197... just about every problem has been investigated and solved... exact same problem, exact same solution... here in 2021!

    cold start low rpm rattle noise - cat?

    I must be crazy... I also run with scissors!

    cold start low rpm rattle noise - cat?

    This is how I justify the lawlessness of going catless... two less things to fail, lol!

    3v turbo build

    A little late to the party... just wanted to say I’ve been running the Brenspeed Detroit Rocker Blower Cam at 15+PSI boost with a Kooks longtube header off-road exhaust and I could not ask for better. It’s an awesome setup.
