Here is an excellent write up on oils. I personally chose Amsoil Signature Series 5W20 for my whipple car.

See, I was thinking wrong, thanks for correcting me. I am so used to thinking in afr’s, I only assumed the factory tune was afr based. Glance at the dash and see an afr gauge lol. I now know that gauge is a direct reflection of the current lambda value and is not stoich based off a certain fuel...
So I was thinking about how it’s quite common among forum members to run their tank of 93 low, pour in 5 or so gallons of race gas and hit the track. So, race gas with a stoich value of let’s say 13.4 was added to a car that’s tuned to a 12.1 afr (.82 lam) on 14.7 stoich pump gas. Lets see if I...
Wondering if anyone has experience/info on installing a Fore L2 or L4 system on a gen 2 whipple car. Is one easier or cleaner to install than the other, if so why?
Thanks in advance
Man I read a post awhile back where a guy did back to back testing at the track and he didn’t pick up any time going from the basic to the oversized. However, he did notice a difference on the street which makes sense. A 1/4 mike pass is not really enough time to heat things up per say, but stop...

I run 5w20 amsoil signature series with a Whipple, but if I was turbocharged I’d prollly go 5w30-40 for the heat. Like mentioned above, if you track the car also go up in viscosity. Either way, look up amsoil signature series and then go buy it.
I decided to pull the 6k mile stock clutch and trans on my stage 2 car before they come apart lol. We will be installing a magnum xl with an Exedy Mach 600 single disk and their flywheel from Beef (great pricing) in the next few days.
That’s the thing man, I’m trying to get rid of the current rear 305 tires sticking out past the fenders. The 11” rear wheels have a 55mm offset and the fronts are 10” with a 40mm offset. I’m thinking I’ll throw a front wheel on the back and see how it looks with the current 285 tire on it and...
