I actually did read your comments and the fact is the manual does not recommend 91 octane for best performance. It recommends 91 octane fuel as a minimum. listed in the manual in section 9-53. I will agree with you that there is no HP gain above 460 using higher octane fuel because what will...

Actually the High octane does not burn slower it ignites at a higher temperature that is created by higher compression. A slow burn creates heat and a slow burn is inefficient and produces poor power numbers. If you read what I posted I stated that the low octane fuel causes a poor burn in a...

There is a misconception about octane and why we use higher octane fuel in some instances. I think all performance engine guys will tell you that you want to run the lowest octane fuel you can run without detonation. A very broad statement but basically true. The lower the octane the easier it...

OK so I am sometimes overly optimistic and maybe a little stupid. We leave Chilliwack and head for Horseshoe Bay to take the ferry to the Island. The weather looked like it was improving so you guessed it 9 degrees and the top comes down. Get into North Van and it starts to rain lightly no...

Well, Its February and I can hear Victoria calling me.......more accurately its the wifes birthday next week and we need a road trip. Vancouver Island is always a good choice especially when the dollar is way low. So its off to the Dorchester Hotel in Nanaimo and a visit to the Dingy Dock. A...

Well the first winter with the beast and I made it to mid January. The sun came out the temp up over 10 degrees and I couldn't control myself. I had to get out there for a drive. The west coast does have its benefits. Lots of cleaning but worth the effort to get the top down and catch some rays!!

Ok everyone How many have experienced this? I start the car and head out on the street and adjust the heat settings. I want the temp to be a little lower But the beast has other plans. The heat is set at 17' and the auto button is on and the air light is lit up. the fan is blacked out and...

Mine have started to do the same thing. I have about 9000km and this just started. have an oil change scheduled for tomorrow and will ask them to take a look at it. Will let you know if they find anything. Later....

did you carry on past Whistler and head for Lillooet or back down to Vancouver?

So I am also new to the drag strip. A couple of questions. When you make a pass should you use launch control? What is the process for staging? Like I said I'm new. Lots of open wheel experience but have never been in a drag race. Hundreds of rolling starts in fields of 20 or more and several...

The shocks are heavier duty, the differential is electronic, the front sway bar is heavier and the non Z51 has no rear sway bar, the rear spoiler is added, the aero package is different, the brakes are larger and vented rotors are included, the wheels and tires are larger and are nicer IMO...

I thought you might have meant that. The 101. If you head up to Port Alberni make sure you stop at the Cathedral Groves and walk thru the trees. It is a short loop and the trees in there are Hugh. Over 13 feet across and we are talking lumber not cedar. One of these babies will build an...

We were at Crater Lake on Sunday the 9th. Unfortunately lots of smoke and visibility was about 40%-50%. Beautiful area though. You are a long way from home!! Victoria is a favourite of ours love the Magnolia hotel walking distance to lots of pubs and restaurants as well as the harbour...

Well the wife and I embarked on our first 4 wheel road trip in many years. What a treat if you block out the speeding ticket. A yellow C7 can grab a lot of attention especially if you are running on a lonely highway 14 MPH over the limit. Thinking it was 14KPH over but oh ya we are in the...
