And to pile on, what percent of the oil vapor are they "catching". I used to fit respirators for plutonium environments--it is hard as hell to get a good fit. So when you are in the hardware store and see masks/respirators advertising how effective they are, that is a statement about how well...

I think what some folks do is confuse "it works" with "its needed". Clearly the catch cans collect oil, so they work. The problem is empiric evidence that they are needed.

That's interesting. This is a completely unsupported thought, but it does make you wonder if LSPI events are one of the things hurting the Voodoo's rings? This, coupled with the octane decrease, could be a thing. Which then raises another question. Presumably the biggest risk of both of the...

I have Ruby Red, black stripes, and a black roof. You do not get stripes on the roof if you order the black roof. I didn't want it equipped that way (I got a left over 2018) but having lived with it now I really like it--it decreases the impact of the stripes--makes them somewhat more subtle...

Thanks to all for weighing in. The decreased octane (especially when there is a lot of blow by at high RPMs and high loads) could be an issue, to be sure. I'm not certain it matters for a once a drive sprint to redline on a freeway on-ramp, but I can see that argument being a good one for the...

Thanks for posting this. However, this video is a good example of why I am asking the questions. He states that this is a "mandatory modification" for both the 5.0 and 5.2 liter engines. I didn't think there were concerns about low tension oil control piston rings in the 5.0, but I may not be...

Da question is, given how good detergent gasolines are these days, how much sludge/crud do you really get?

Yep, me too, that's why I'm asking. I did search through the track forum, and based on some posts there I could see at high G-loads and max RPMs you might actually have the PCV system take in enough oil to cause problems. I think looked at for "track insurance" purposes (especially if you are...

I'm a track guy, but won't likely be tracking my GT350. I get the benefit of catch cans for engine health monitoring, but in the non-track environment does enough oil ingestion occur to be an issue (I get that in the perfect world no oil would be ingested, but in that world catch cans would be...

So I just looked at my engine, and where the driver and passenger PCV lines run. Both enter the intake system after the MAF, so that isn't a thing. The driver side enters between the MAF and the throttle body (which makes sense at this would not see engine vacuum, which may explain why...

I've tried doing my research. I think I understand the following: - oil catch cans minimize crankcase aerosolized oil from getting put through the intake system, - this is not related to oil usage issues with some of the Voodoo engines (or at least significant oil usage, which seems to be an...

The SRP pedals look great. Anyone know if they addresses the gas pedal fit issue? And, anyone know if they will mix and match styles--I emailed them and no response. I can see that a very rough/sticky finish clutch pedal makes sense, and maybe brake as well, but a more slippery gas pedal...

It has been a while since I've had a V8--what RPM do folks usually cruise in? My general guidelines have always been don't go below 2000 rpm in a port injected engine, but direct injection engines (the auto versions) often cruise at ~1400 RPM. The Voodoo feels great at around 2500 RPM, but I'm...

Though they have been mentioned, I would strongly suggest you check out Ruger's offerings (ruger.com). They have a large assortment of single action pistols with very modern safety features. Most are available either in stainless or blued finishes, and with some choices in barrel length...

Whoops, sorry. Loading a single action is super slow. Mine is a Ruger LCR in .327 Fed Mag. How's that for an off the wall choice?

There is no doubt that if you look at more rounds downrange faster, almost every shooter will do better with a semi-auto. And I think they are easier for CC as well. But I have a revolver that holds 8 (S&W .357 Performance Center). I'm not sure about your comment about poor choices for...

Thanks Patrick. I've looked at that and other commercial solutions (all of which work) but I kind of like the challenge of figure something out on my own. My first idea was to use the factory bracket but the fit just stinks.

Specific question. My car had no front plate bracket in the trunk so when I picked it up the dealer grabbed another one out of another Mustang (I cannot recall if it was a Shelby or not). I can call the dealer Monday to clarify, but does anyone know if the Shelby front plate bracket is the...

I reload pistol rounds only--have two presses (an RCBS single station and a Dillon multi-station). I've keep track of all of my costs and have paid off all of my equipment, powder, etc. at this point (and I have enough saved brass and materials that any rounds I make, until I have to buy more...

Most of those are single action revolvers. So modern versions slower to load (most don't have swing out cylinders, but load through a loading gate) but, especially if a trigger job is done, the single actions can be very, very accurate.
