    Optimal engine temperature for max HP?

    I wonder if you could make a cold air intake that incorporates liquid nitrogen in some fashion. For example, if the liquid nitrogen circulated through a small radiator that covered the intake for the engine, super cooling the air that going into the engine. This would not be sustainable of...

    Diagnosing mysterious sound from Tran/Tcase

    Is there glitter in the trans fluid?

    Help! 1991 Suburban cuts out suddenly, immediately restarts. Tried everything.

    You may want to consider a different mechanic. When someone brings a vehicle to me, I do the diagnostics for free. If I say that it needs a part, and replacing that part doesn't solve the problem - then there would not be any charge for any of the work. Why should they pay for a repair that's...

    Diagnosing mysterious sound from Tran/Tcase

    I don't see anything in the video that could be causing this. Maybe that linage needs to be adjusted? (click on pic)

    Temperature Sending Unit

    Its best to take multiple readings from different parts of the engine, but you want to stay away from the exhaust manifolds / headers. What ever area gives you the highest reading is the most accurate temp. The inlet of the radiator, various spots on the intake manifold, front of the heads...

    Optimal engine temperature for max HP?

    So lately there have been some posts about engine temps. I wonder what the optimal temp would be for max power on a Chevy 350 or 400. Fuel mileage and emissions are not a factor in this, just pure HP Any ideas?

    Temperature Sending Unit

    I agree, the numbers on the gauge don't really need to be there. Learning the needle position is what matters. If it were a clock with only an hour hand - Mine would run at 12:00 and go as high as 12:30. I flushed the system and changed the fan / shroud design, and clock went down to 11:00 and...

    fluid change

    Google: AI Overview Changing transmission fluid generally doesn't damage the transmission, but it can exacerbate existing issues or cause problems if done improperly or on a vehicle with high mileage and a poor service history. Replacing old fluid can loosen accumulated debris, potentially...

    Smog removed: how to cap manifolds?

    Ya, I would just go to Ace Hardware, Lowes, Home Depot etc and buy every cap that they have that has about the same diameter. Then go home and try one after another until you get a winner. Then just return the rest of the caps. Keep your receipt and its a quick and easy return. Another thing...

    Help! 1991 Suburban cuts out suddenly, immediately restarts. Tried everything.

    If the alternator throws AC power (as opposed to DC) into your electronics or computer, it can basically cause the parts to have a seizure. Its like you getting hit by a taser while trying to draw a picture of a dog.
