Hi just bought a Caprice ppv. installed a CAI, rotofab, and I am very happy with it. Plan on doing over things as money and time will allow.

Hi,
Had lifter failure happen on cylinder 1, took me a week, but I got it fixed and all back together. Sent My ECM out to delete the AFM, also blocked off the hole that the AFM oil flows through, as a manual AFM block off. After that bought kooks headers, and solo performance exhaust 3in. I just put those on and now she purrs like a kitten. she just had a performance tune done with Livernois motor sports. So far I am very happy with the car, minus the Damn AFM. Why do they put the AFM in these cars..... I feel like it is just a matter of time before it fails....Plan is for Factory window tints and some rims. My cuz also does airbrush, So might get it air brushed. He mostly does motorcycles, but may I will let him dabble with my car. I want to put a cam in and possibly a supercharger, but I do not want to mess with the reliability of the car, as it is my daily driver, so maybe not. Bought the Factory service manual, damn thing was 400 bucks. Already paid for itself with cylinder one failing.
