Re: Check Engine Light

For $13,000, you are only gaining 200 additional horsepower. If you decided to do that, you'd be $43,000 in the hole and have a 440whp Caprice.

Re: Check Engine Light

Well here is the verdict! Stanley Chevrolet just called and said the camshaft & lifters will need to be replaced and that all engine gaskets..I had a oil pan gasket leaking already. $4100. A new crate engine installed w/3yr 100k warranty is $8100. I called Lingenfelter and priced a DOD Delete k...

Re: Big N/A cam and dod delete

When you or anyone has done one of these big cams are you addressing the OEM rocker bearing failure with one of these upgrade kits or using a aftermarket rocker? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Competition-Cams-13702-KIT-LS1-Rocker-Arm-Retro-Fit-Trunion-Upgrade-Kit-Incl-T-/361269522636?hash=item541d5770cc:...

Re: Full Kooks system

What have you guys paid for kooks headers and x pipe? I was quoted 1900 for the 1 7/8 headers, green catted x pipe and kooks axle back kit. Is this a good deal? $742 for 1 7/8" from Maryland Speed, but I don't recommend buying from them. They immediately took my money and then waited over two ...

Unfortuanetly my home computer blocks this site, so Ill post a photo of it later from my phone. Exhaust was open and do you mean at what RPM did it make that power? Cool, thanks a lo...

Re: Caprice ... work in progress

I'm not a fan of the DOD and the failure prone lifters. I work in parts and have seen my fair share aside from what you read online. Option 1) Do I spend $1k on a DOD delete and cam swap and still have a 6.0 with lower compression and only starting with 360hp? Option 2) Do I drop some coin and get ...

Re: Intake, exhaust and tune HP numbers

A FAST intake is completely unnecessary and you are completely smoking dope thinking you're going to gain 100 HP... Sorry. Maybe half that, but with the stock mufflers, maybe even less.

Re: Caprice PPV 9C3 2011 108k

I'm just giving you a hard time as stone chips definitely happen just driving around town. Black paint is the absolute worst to keep clean. I had a black 2013 Fusion and it would get dirty minutes after washing it. I got rid of that car, but not because it was black, but because it was the biggest P...

WTB front bumper cover insert from fog light installation

If you have installed fog lights and no longer need your original front bumper cover insert (number 17 in the pic below), I'd be happy to buy it if it's in good condition. I'm just looking for the left (driver's side). http://dz310nzuyimx0.cloudfront.net/strapr1/8ccea986cab77a094a6cd6fc1230340e/1fc9...
