Great news for those looking to knock some weight off their car. Antigravity Batteries updated their lithium-ion lightweight battery lineup with three options which feature a brand new wireless key fob remote for emergency starts. ...Published on 02-20-2019 08:31 PM
The TVS1740 at the heart of the LT4 is way too small for the big 6.2 V8. Still, it can propel bolt on Camaro ZL1's as well as C7 Corvette Z06's into the 9's. The trap speed shows the LT4 with bolt ons is not all that far ahead of the LT5 stock. ...Published on 02-20-2019 06:21 PM
If you had to double or triple check it was California proposing this idea you are not alone. The idea makes so much sense and frankly is so damn cool it will never make it. California is considering adding two lanes to the I5 or CA-99 that will be allowed to top 100 miles per hour. ...Published on 02-13-2019 10:42 PM
The TV1740 from Eaton that the LT4 is equipped with from the factory is quite simply too small. Yes, the response is great but it mostly likes to light the rear tires up before dying off up top. Plus it is spun so hard it generates a lot of heat. ...Published on 02-12-2019 10:15 PM
Now, the LT5 will not grenade for everyone at 1486 horsepower but Katech certainly is showing us how strong the platform is and what gives out first as they are pushing the new C7 ZR1 engine further than anyone else. Remember, Katech pushed the LT5 to over 1300 horsepower last month using only the direct injection system for fueling. ...Published on 02-08-2019 05:43 PM
Remember California Assembly Bill 1824? As a refresher, if a Police Officer thinks your exhaust is too loud you get a mandatory $1000 ticket instead of the old fix it ticket. Well, you are not the only one who thinks the policy is just a government overreach to grab cash. ...Published on 02-02-2019 10:11 PM
This year's list is a couple of weeks late but this actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise with some major automotive performance debuts and achievements taking place just in time to sneak onto the list. Feel free to check out last year's best and worst of automotive performance list. ...Published on 01-30-2019 04:24 PM
You might be asking, how is Katech tuning the LT5 when nobody has cracked the ECU in the C7 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1? Well, you will notice this motor is not in a ZR1 but outside of it being tested on an engine dyno. ...Published on 01-29-2019 03:06 PM
You could say this is an interesting field but truly there are only a few standouts. Of the eight cars, does anyone really feel the Ford Fiesta ST or Volkswagen Up GTI really have a chance? Especially when cars like the 488 Pista, 991.2 GT2 RS, and McLaren 600 LT are included? ...Published on 01-25-2019 07:20 AM
This is a great article written by @HeadgamesDave (Headgames Motorworks) for speed.academy which goes over some misconceptions in the world of Cylinder Head Porting. Dave as you might recall was the one who examined F80 M3 and F82 M4 S55 valve float issues and developed a performance cylinder head. ...Published on 01-17-2019 02:53 AM
Suddenly American car manufacturers are embracing the DCT (dual clutch transmission). The new mid-engine Corvette is not a secret but we are still missing many details such as the transmission options. Based on these spyphotos, it looks like the car will be DCT only. ...Published on 01-16-2019 12:33 AM
Live in California? Have a loud exhaust? Well, read up. A lot of information is flying about regarding a new exhaust law in California with people stating they are immediately being fined $1000 rather than get a 'fix it' ticket. This is not exactly the case. ...Published on 01-10-2019 07:41 PM
Syvecs will be phasing out their very popular S6 line of standalone ECU's in favor of their new S7i and S7 Plus models. Why? Technology marches on of course and the new S7 units are incredibly capable. ...Published on 12-21-2018 04:24 PM
At the 2018 PRI (Performance Racing Industry) show the Oerlikon Group had 3D metal printed pistons and hollow stem titanium valves on display. 3D metal printers are expensive tools that are becoming more and more popular and they can do a variety of things. ...Published on 12-20-2018 02:06 AM
There is something special about adding a big blower to a big, modern V8. Vengeance Racing built a nasty example with a 2017 Camaro SS 1LE sporting a 2.9 liter Whipple twin screw supercharger on its built LT1 motor. ...
