  1. compensating for altitude - what pulley for 5000 feet?

    5000 ft of altitude change is roughly 2.5 psi change from sea level. Call the manufacturer and find out what pulley will give you 2 more psi. https://www.sensorsone.com/altitude-pressure-units-conversion/
  2. Need advice please - motor blown after dyno, has Whipple.

    I run 0.43 oz per gallon every fill up. It brings me to around 96ish octane. I usually add the Boosane at home, drive a mile to my local Shell and add the fuel. Better to be safe than sorry. I keep a 50 cal ammo can with a graduated beaker and Boostane in the trunk, just in case I go on a road...
  3. Need advice please - motor blown after dyno, has Whipple.

    I for one run Boostane to help keep the knock gremlins at bay. The highest octane in my state of CA is 91, like the OP. A few dollars of Boostane to me is cheap insurance of reducing the possibility of knock and damaging the engine.
  4. Question for those who self installed a Whipple Gen 5 System

    I took around 5 days, but that's also including waiting for parts that were missing from the kit and also doing the oil pump gears. I'm also anal and a bit OCD, so that added more time too. Lastly I went at a leisurely pace. It's not complicated at all, just follow the instructions and dont...
  5. O2 Spacers with Cat-Delete

    I use the Vibrant J type defoulers, with the medium orifice with great success.
  6. Running Wide Tires and Braided Stainless Steel Brake Lines? Check Your Brake Line to Tire Clearance

    The brake lines aren't the wrong size. I just installed a set of Steeda lines and they are the same length and the brackets on the Steeda orient the line the same way. Only this time, I used PTFE spiral wrap at the area that could possibly chafe.
  7. Running Wide Tires and Braided Stainless Steel Brake Lines? Check Your Brake Line to Tire Clearance

    Last night, while driving home from work. There was road construction and traffic was slowing. I applied the brakes and heard a pop and the brake pedal went to the floor. I pulled the E brake in combination with the brake pedal. It slowed down to a safe speed, but if I had to stop hard, I would...
  8. HELP! Rear Subframe bolt Cross Threaded

    Just to reinforce what has been previously said. Start each bolt by hand and leave them all loose until all of the bolts are started. If one won't start, use a lineup pry bar and get the two bolt holes to line up. You should be able to then hand start the stubborn one.
  9. California Meth/Injection Question

    I did a little research and came across a Motortrend article talking about diesel water kits and CA CARB EO approval. At the time the article was written, AEM was the only one with a CARB EO number. The article then referenced that they would have to get another CARB EO number for a methanol...
  10. Has anyone tried the Xtreme-DI GDI high flow pump?

    Does this fuel pump help keep knock at bay with those of us running 91 octane. Just asking if I could go to the standard 3.875 pulley (currently using a 4.00) and use this pump to make the most of the stage II Whipple tune, without having to worry about a lot of timing being pulled due to knock...
  11. Little white interior part clips?

    I got mine from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FW25CGD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  12. Whipple stage 2 gen 5 injectors

    The quote below is off of the Whipple website. Normally, the stage 2 doesn't come with a BAP, but has a Deastchworks DW400 low pressure fuel pump. That's what came with the kit I bought. " 38 lb/hr dual pattern fuel injectors vs stock 17lb/hr stock injectors".
  13. Looking for part number to ATI 15%od damper for TVS

    You asked the manufactures of the part and they can't tell you if it's a correct fitment? Odd.
  14. Edelbrock stage one. Who can get me the best price?

    If you want it now, Beefcake, lethal will give you a good price. If you want the absolute best price, wait til the next major holiday, like Labor Day. Most vendors have great sales, that will save you big bucks. Good luck.
  15. any one running an E85 gauge to show how good the E in the car is?

    I used a Zeitronix ECA-2 in one of my other cars. The guage is very thin, compared to a typical guage. I installed the gauge in my glove box, since it's not something that you have to constantly monitor. If you do get a ethanol monitoring system, don't buy the sensor from the kit maker, buy a...
  16. Texas Borla S-Type Axleback Exhaust System (Black Single Tips)

    Looking at his pics, I would have to agree that this is a home made system. I highly doubt that Borla would have a product with that build quality. The welds on the tips are horrible. I hope the OP is not trying to pass off this Franken exhaust as a true Borla kit.
  17. UPR plug n plag catch can

    Pics would be nice to see it and evaluate.
  18. OEM Battery life

    I typically get around 5 years or so from my batteries, before they go Tango Uniform. This is based on my experience with my 2002 and 2005 Honda's that I bought new and still have. If I don't plan to drive it for a while, it goes on a trickle charger. I top off the electrolyte level, every oil...
  19. Do you think it’s worth getting wheel locks for PP wheels?

    If it were parked outside your house or in a apartment parking lot, I'd get locking lug nuts. All a thief needs is a deep socket to pound onto the lock and bingo, it's off. Reason I know this, is because I lost the key to a set of Mcgard wheel locks and I got a one size smaller deep socket than...
