    AI Generated Engines

    Maybe I've had a dull week or I'm really tired but I plugged some stuff into an AI generator and I'm laughing my ass off here Let's get really weird with it and find some really bad designs 😆

    3800 Sloppy Swappy L67 rods/pistons into L26

    Any reason to think things would be that different with the bearings on a stock L67 and L26 that I couldn't just pull the pistons and rods out of an L67 and put them into an L26 block/crank and send it? I should preface that I've never actually done bottom end work to an engine that I actually...

    3800 3800 - What pushrod length - ST5 cam

    I'm going to be away from the garage for a bit but want to just order parts now so that when I come back everything is ready to go in. I'm assuming stock rockers and an ST5 are a really common setup and was hoping somebody knew what length pushrods to go with. I could measure but I'll lose like...

    Racing or Events You Should Try?

    I've been learning over the last few years that few people seem to be aware of all of the different types of racing or related events you can do in a car or haven't actually realized what the events were like. Recently I saw a pretty decent size youtuber say he didn't realize what drag week was...

    UVScan log reader

    So I'm only using DHP right now, can't really justify the cost of HPTuners for what I'd get out of it, DHP can do everything I want right now except for logging well. HPTuners has a really good UI for logging, but with DHP or UVScan I pretty much have to take the .csv file and throw it into...

    Blazer knuckles on G-body weird clearance

    So I'm getting ready to align the GP after installing the bump steer kit and I'm noticing that my tie rod ends sit further away from the tire on each side of the car. Not sure how I've never noticed this before or how it happened, but I'm assuming it's been like that for a long time which would...

    3800/T56 Swap Guide

    Okay so I'm confident enough in my swap that I thought I'd start to make a guide about how to do this. I haven't tested my car yet but if I run into any other issues I'll just be sure to update this post but I think I'm golden now. Why? There are not a lot of options out there for a good...

    Cam Timing Advance/Retard

    So one of the things I recently discovered is that the L36 and L67 have different cam timings. Doing some googling I found that most people will say the L67 has about 2 degrees advance over the L36. I had to do some research to figure out what the benefits of that are, but if that were true...

    3800 Wiki

    Hey guys, I'm working on a wiki website that focuses on 3800's and all of the nitty gritty details that are sprinkled all over the internet. There's a lot of old forums that have tons of great documented information that have pretty much just disappeared and some previously well-known...

    What Size for twin turbos on a 3800?

    So I'm sort of in a planning stage for my next build and I'd like to run twin turbos. It'll make things easier to package in a RWD car and will give me the neat option of going with a true dual exhaust system. Plus it looks cool too. I know there are very few who have done twins because most of...

    L67 supercharged vs turbo gas mileage

    So i know blowers are super inefficient across the board and I think that that's one of the main reasons why the L67 has let me down so much in the gas mileage category. Having a smaller pulley I'm sure doesn't help at all either since it's just beating the air even faster. I know tons of...

    Oil cooler for turbo cars

    So I want to run an engine oil cooler for my Grand Prix. My turbo is only cooled by oil and I'm thinking it must be wreaking havoc on my engine oil temps especially on long trips and sitting in traffic. I'm planning on taking the car on power tour again this year and want to make sure...

    Flying Sparks Garage

    Creating this thread because I discovered Roadkill back in 2013 from a post someone made on a forum and have been hooked ever since. I know there's a roadkill thread here too so I thought I could return the favor here. It's more like Hot Rod Garage than Roadkill, but I think you all might enjoy...

    Flex Fuel Sensor

    Has anyone ever added one of these to their cars? I know there isn't really a good table or input for the stock pcm for these, but I'm thinking it could be cool to add one of these to help with tuning. I know there can be a pretty wide range of ethanol content in e85 from pumps so it would be...

    Disabling VATS Camaro L36 PCM or OS writeover

    So for my l36 swap that I'm working on right now, I'm having trouble turning off the VATs system. Right now the engine fires right up and then promptly dies though after about 3 or 4 seconds. Fuel pressure is great. The table here is set to disable the VATS, but it seems like that was not...

    L36 Fuel pressure regulator for turbo

    Can I run the stock FPR from the Camaro with positive pressure in the intake manifold? reason I ask is because I'm looking at the injector flow rate tables for the L36 car and my L67 Regal and noticed that the Regal's flow rate changes with vacuum, where the L36 is pretty consistent. stock...

    👋 INTRO new guy here, referred from a facebook group

    So I'm not actually from chicago, I'm from southwest Michigan (<2 hours away), but I got banned from some silly group on facebook run by some power hungry weirdo. I found this site after seeing a lot of people posting about it and getting banned from showing it. After some searching and...
