Re: Another new Socal Caprice owner

Welcome aboard. Ive had no luck finding E85 for less than 75% cost of 91 octane as of november. Not willing to pay "premium" for E85 despite running better.

Re: Have not tried E85 yet

E85 drops my mpg to 75% of what I get with Premium 91. However, the E85 costs 70% of the cheapest Premium available. I always use E85 for daily commute, only filling premium on long trips when E85 is not available. The car runs noticably better with E85. Oddly, i was getting an evap tank vacuum code...

Re: New (to me) wheels and new tires

xten57 probably has stock size camaro 245/55-18 that came with the wheels. That size will absolutely interfere with the fender under compression both front and rear.

Re: Made a huge mistake

I got the smaller diameter that barely covered the hole because I wanted it less pronounced. One kept popping off when I closed the door due to air pressure. Used some glue underneath no problem. The other 6 held and I used the crescent shaped one over the spotlight hole.

Re: Daily Driven Cam Choice

I picked up a used LS3 cam and springs that had 35k miles for $100. Very happy with the result because this is my daily driver. DOD delete and rocker trunions. I didn't want to spend too much time tuning, or pay a tuner, so I uploaded a stock SS tune and smoothed it out. Good enough. LIke an LS3 min...

Re: Hitting my breaking point - driver's seat help

http://www.newcaprice.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3266&p=25216#p25216 Seems familiar. I have since swapped in SS seats and a better lumbar support. No discomfort at all. From my post linked above, biggest improvement was a lumbar pad. Also, I removed the headrest and bent the two steel bea...
