New Caprice - Discussion forums

I really should have waited to start this thread in a couple months. I'm pretty much just working and sleeping these days. Hopefully I'll have some free time around the end of April. I'm also getting worried that if I see one in person that I'm going to REALLY want one and spend money that I shouldn...

Good point. I've got a OBDLink MX bluetooth OBD scanner and the Palmer Performance ScanXL/DashCommand software on both my laptop and cell. It's really nice. I'd still rather have real gauges though. Trying to use a tablet all the time is a pain. It's always in the way, has glare at just the wrong ti...

Cool! I'll shoot you a PM.

Yeah, I'm one of the few who isn't on FB. Hopefully they'll post it up to Craigslist. (Nothing yet, I just checked.)

Those are really neat. It's essentially a purpose built scangauge. That price though...ouch. $250/400. Too rich for my blood.

My best is 13.60 @ 105 Very nice! Yeah, I'm really interested in E85. It's everywhere in WI. There needs to be a Dyno/Drag/Tuning forum on this site. One place to see who got what numbers with what combination of parts/mods and what tuning they did to get there. Regional Forums would be nice too. BP

Those sound interesting. Who makes them? Are they expensive?

Very cool! Thanks for the side-by-side pic.

Now I'm just wondering if the ECU has a seperate timing map for ethanol and if it varies based on the ethanol content.

Do they plug into the OBDII port, or is there a harness you use to tap into certain wires? The nice thing is, you can modify just about everything on their gauges, so you can get a pretty custom configuration in your car. Speedhut ones plug in to the OBD port then the gauges just daisy chain to eac...

From the back, the Caprice looks VERY much like the Impalas that some jurisdictions use. You have to carefully-read the name plate on the deck lid. From the front, there's no question. You know, that's probably it. A former roommate used to have an Impala and WOW do they look identical from the bac...

I'm still a long ways off from getting a PPV but I came across these cool CAN bus gauges made by speedhut. Has anyone here tried something like this? No need to plumb/wire extra sensors. But on the flip side, you may be reading a faulty stock sensor. Also, I wonder how responsive that they are and i...
