    Engine Failure

    Gm engineers also say to run Mobil 1 which has been tested over and over to have lower viscosity than any other 5w30 in the lf4 which already have low oil pressure issues at idle/low rpm. Gm engineers tell 5.3 owners to run 0w20 oil Gm engineers created the ecu software so the cars rev to the...

    Blown Motor

    I’m really curious to see the rod bearings and main bearings on these blown motors. These lt4’s seem to have oiling issues. What oil was in the car? About how many miles on that oil? What were the air temps in your area?

    Why choose a CT4 BW over a new BMW M3? Sincerely asking.

    stock block is good for 750-800whp Maybe 100whp less than a s58 who ever you ask. Pretty sure tap out are the only guys pushing that hard. Who knows if different tuning styles could result in s58 numbers. Not much Data out there Defiantly not the wrong platform. At the end of the day, I...

    CT5-V .

    I agree. Im curious how much oil pressure was actually getting to the head to cause that bad of a tick if it was the lifters (easiest explanation)

    CT5-V .

    Iv heard 4g63’s which have notoriously loud lifters, which had head work/cam swaps done….. and even with the trash mitsu lifters not being bled, they were not as loud as your video. It’s hard for me to believe that even putting in 0w20 or whatever eco trash oil they might have put in, to cause...

    CT5-V 2023 CT5 Blackwing Engine Failure (Shavings)

    What seems to be the issue? Shit bearing clearances for the water oil gm recommends?

    They simply don’t care any more. Idk what Toyota did, but their shifter on the Supra feels much better.

    Why choose a CT4 BW over a new BMW M3? Sincerely asking.

    I had an f80 comp with the 6 speed. I was highly considering a g80 pure……. But I don’t like the direction bmw has went. The g80s gained a ton of weight even in rwd form. The main issue with modern bmws is they no longer design them for “drivers”. Little things like the clutch delay valve...

    CT4-V What to get after blackwing? <55K USD

    New Supra wirh a manual. Toyota really dialed them in. Latest lightning lap had them lapping the same as a few year old r35 gtr They are fairly light by modern standards 3300lb. Extremely well balanced. The b58 is a gem. The 6 speed is pretty good as well. They are so good that they...

    TC/Stabilitrak overly intrusive

    I was talking about hitting the brakes Lifting off when the car starts to rotate usually makes the back end lighter. 95% if mustang crowd killer videos are drivers getting a lot of wheel speed during wheel spin, letting off which upsets the weight distribution, and in many instances applying...

    Do that in most chassis and you are in the wall/ditch.

    TC/Stabilitrak overly intrusive

    I’m 40. Everybody is different. Some people don’t grow out or “risky” behaviors. Everybody makes mistakes, but choosing when you can let the tail wag diminishes these risk. I have been driving high hp cars for almost 25 years. I currently have a lancer evo 2 that will 100% bite you in...

    TC/Stabilitrak overly intrusive

    My understanding and experience is that track 2 only very minimally will pull timing/cut power. It does nothing to “keep the car straight” if you will. The e diff can only do so much playing with lock up levels Iv felt the car braking individual wheels when in sport or track mode when the...

    TC/Stabilitrak overly intrusive

    Blah blah blah. Getting sideways on a wide right of left turn, with no traffic, no pedestrian at under 50mph……. I shouldn’t do that? why even own a rwd performance car? A menace 😂🤣😂. Only risk is to my self, and it’s minimal. The roads we drive on are a menace full of inattentive drivers...
