Re: Engine Swap

its a easy direct swap , all you need is a good person to tune it Agree just double check the oil pan style for clearance and that the engine uses a 54 tooth reluctor with newer Gen 4 style cam gear pickup location. Pull motor. Transfer motor mounts and accessories and have a beer.....well almost b...

Re: LS3 cam, DOD block off or just HPTune off?

If the LS3 cam is what you want, use standard LS7 style hydraulic lifters with the blue beehive GM springs. Since the intakes and heads are off, pull the valley tray and block off the valley pillars if you want to extra measures. Double check the pushrod length since you don't know what was done pre...

Re: It all started with wanting cup holders; 2015 Chevy SS D

After several requests for more info on the floor (center) console and what I did to make it fit, here are some more pictures. The Parking Brake bracket doubles as an adjustment feature for the cable coming from the foot brake. It also serves as a mounting provision for the steel rack that sits abov...

Re: Yet another DOD/AFM delete question...

Yes DOD can be disabled. I can't speak to Tech II tool but if I were a betting man, I would say yes. Don't expect a GM dealer to do it but maybe a 3rd party shop. It can also be turned off with one click from HPTuners.

Re: Header Help!!

You'll probably spend more time unbolting the stock rusty exhaust from the manifolds than it takes bolting up the new headers. Things that might hang you up are: 1) Passenger side clearance: Take coils, spark plugs and wires off the passenger side to gain hand clearance, 2) Removal of the dipstick t...

Re: DoD question

Has anyone put the DoD on a switch that you can control manually, since the computer does such an awful job at controlling it itself. DOD hardware is controlled by the computer, not the other way around. Even if you could hardwire a trigger to the DOD circuit (would be easy actually), I am not awar...

Re: Thinking about a Caprice

Welcome. Fast is relative but like every GM V8 car, there are plenty of go-fast parts to select from. They all run on the E38 ECM which is one of the most ubiquitous and tunable GM ECMs out there. The platform is very similar to the Pontiac G8, Chevy SS and to some degree similar to the 5th gun Cama...

Yes they do have speaker grills but no they will NOT fit. The PPV rear doors are longer than the SS rear doors.
