Because the little stuff matters

The factory oil cap just says DEXOS on it so I picked up this little guy on Rockauto for $13.

Hot giggity!!! Can't wait to see your impressions of this.

Get a f'ing big cam in this thing already!

Hell no

Operation stock tune and emissions compatibility is still in full effect!

The ported IM should put me somewhere around 450whp (DynoJet) if my estimation is correct.

That's pretty stout for mods that don't affect driveability.

I would concur, and that is exactly my plan. Zero drawbacks or reliability concerns.

What I wouldn't do for a rigid aluminum oil pan with a built in sealing ring ala LS versus the flimsy tin pan and RTV solution for DSM's. I spend all last night chasing down small oil leaks, meanwhile my 100K+ mile Tahoe has yet to ever shred a drop of any fluid. LS for the win!

**Kracka** · 07-09-2015

LT FTW

I just hope they prove to be as durable as the LS!

So you didn't order that supercharger yet?

Ordered...then canceled

I had to remind myself it didn't fit in my plan.

You have the Cruze for the plan! SC time!

HAHA! This was back in December or so, and honestly has barely even crossed my mind since. I think the modding bug was starting to itch a bit but has since cleared up with a few more simple bolt-ons.

A//// Guy · 07-09-2015

Yea plenty of power being NA, I dont blame you!

**Kracka** · 07-09-2015

I'm sure it'll eventually get a Procharger kit though

**Halon** · 07-09-2015

Do they make a cam that is mild enough that won't screw up drivability? Something similar in nature to like a DSM 264. Little bump in power, but no real noticeable drivability downfall?

**Kracka** · 07-09-2015

Probably, but I'm not really interested in tearing into the engine since that opens a whole new can of worms for potential oil leaks, tuning issues, etc.

*edit*
Here is pretty much what you were referring to: https://texas-speed.com/p-4547-texas...lications.aspx

By doing a cam, I would lose the Active Fuel Management (cylinder deactivation) functionality. Not a big deal to some, but I like it for roadtrips.

WeaponX Stage 1 LT1 ported intake manifold pics:

The biggest difference in this port job is the lack of any internal sharp edges or lips, which are likely what caused the whistling with the previous manifold.

Nice! I was starting to wonder if this was still a car site or just politics

Agreed, and you're welcome.

Next minor mod that I plan to order and stockpile for a boring weekend: C7 Z06 Z07 swaybar bushings. It turns out that all C7's with magnetic ride control (Z51 w/MRC option, Z06, & Z06 w/Z07 package) all share identical swaybars, with the Z07 getting stiffer bushings than the rest. The set of 4 should be right around $20-25 I think so I plan to get them ordered sooner or later since it should tigthen up the suspension by a little bit with minimal effect on ride quality. They're still made of rubber so there shouldn't be any additional noise.
