I am currently testing the Gen 2 clutch in my 2013. First impressions are that it feels just like the clutch in the new car, and that is much grabbier than my 100k mile worn out clutch, as to be...

Has anyone used the Harrop oil cooler with this kit? It seems like the best solution if you're going to drive the car hard on the track.

All but one turbo kit are illegal. If you live in a city this will likely cause problems. If you don’t you might not get caught. Most supercharger kits come with a boxed tune that likely won’t blow...

Your goal is easily achievable on E85 with either, but that power range on pump gas with a supercharger is a little sketchy for knock purposes.

My 94 trans am came with 245s on 8 inch wheels. I switched to 275s on 9 inch wheels (also a factory offering.) I don’t know why people are telling you 245s won’t work. 235 is an oddball size and...

For me this is an amount of power the car can put down when you want it to, but allows you to overpower traction when you choose. I don’t know what that is. My car is stock with stock tires.
