Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

I got the WeaponX intake manifold installed this weekend, along with some DEI heat shroud (turned inside-out) around the radiator hoses to help shield the intake pipe from that radiant heat! I was out doing some logging in the 106F temps yesterday afternoon and the car still pulls like a train even with the A/C blasting! My tuner got the tunes updated so I'll get those flashed on tonight.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Did you log any change in temps?
coolant or intake?

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Mods, what mods?

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

I do have logs of everything, but I have not yet reviewed them to compare any change in AIT's (nor will I most likely, I just email the logs to my tuner and stop there). Coolant and oil temps both run about 15 degrees (F) cooler than stock; I thank a bottle of Redline Water Wetter + ceramic coated exhaust manifolds for this drop.
Oh, just this air filter, basically stock!

New drivetrain fluids inbound! I figured at 20k miles/2 years it's getting about due.

Transmission: Redline D4 ATF (gallon)
Differential: ACDelco LS 75W-90 (3 quarts)

I was considering going with Mobil 1 LS 75W-90 for the diff, but its a mixed bag of info whether or not it has the correct amount of LSD additive in it; I figured going with OEM would be the safe play there.

For the transmission, Tremec recommends a Dexron III ATF fluid, but the dealer parts counter tried to sell me something called ACDelco Manual Transmission Fluid. I decided to just skip the confusion and order tried & trued Redline since I've been using their transmission fluids for nearly 15 years.

Mmmmm...Z06 grille...

I picked one up off a guy that only had it for 2 months. Looks better + 17% increase in cooling airflow to the radiator and front brakes.

Will look like this on my car:

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Mmmm, I like that.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Looking good!

Ok, the shark teeth would be kind of cool if you got them airbrushed haha

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

The shark teeth is gimmicky, but its kind of entertaining. I prefer the black grill though!

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

...and of course the seller flaked! At least he refunded my Paypal payment, so not entirely like a DSMer :lol:

I'll probably just buy a new one, maybe one of the GM parts vendors will have a good Black Friday sale.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

I think EVO owners are the new DSM'rs. I just got a Paypal dispute asking for a partial refund on Evo cams I sold. He's claiming they're 272's, I clearly looked up the numbers and they are 274/278's, exactly as I described. Theft by swindle will not be tolerated. :D

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Fact.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Hey now, that's not nice ;)

What does that make DSM'ers then? Hot rodders now or something.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

I was referring to the "new generation" of Evo owners now that there are plenty of cheap ones in the used market. You're fine, you're an OG :p

They're bad... Everyone wants absolute bottom barrel pricing, but nit-pick every tiny flaw, and the louder the exhaust and brighter colored the wheels and vinyl wrap are the better.
