So, basically that "thingy" that spins compresses alot more of "that stuff" to make my truck fasterer??

This truck has done this since I bought it 1 1/2 years ago. Even with the original ECU and stock tires. It only shifts sooner since the Heath reprogram. It has a pronounced delay when it reverse and takes a bit of time between 1-2 shift. I was wondering if the valvebody has some leaking seal or...

The restrictor just limits the coolant flow to the bypass . And push the heat to through the radiator to let the fan clutch work more efficiently by being able to sense the heat from the radiator rather than all the heat in the heads, and make a more stable heat management. Yes pressure is not...

On the 4L80E, what controls the shifting speed? My tranny shifts but when I shift into reverse there is a few second delay til it engages. It engages and there is no slip just a delay. Also it seems it take a little time shifting from first to second. It doesn't run hot the fluid looks good. I...

Talk about chasing your tail around. Too much contradicting for my taste. I'll have to say I have better things to do. Good luck.

But we are refering to the volume created by the turbo. We know the displacement of the engine IS fixed. Temperature is never fixed as it is constantly changing depending on the load the engine is bearing. The volume of a turbo is only fixed based of the parameters the turbo is capable of. And a...

I still don't understand your thinking.. The Ideal gas laws explain PV=ntr That with a constant pressure volume will change with change in temperature. As volume increases pressure remains the same as temperature increases. Boyle's Law, a principle that describes the relationship between the...

If you would put your theory in to practice it would be like making a turbo using a ATT turbine section with a GM8 compressor. Or even worse a GM4 compressor. And then when you put that on your engine the peformance would be exactly the same. By your theory only a more efficient turbine section...

It would probably be better stated that a smaller turbo that is only 60% efficient to supply 10psi of boost, and changing the compressor to a larger compressor that is 90% efficient at 10 psi thus allowing a more efficient air charge into a given area. So while not increasing pressure you are...

Yes, It is the same volume displacement wise. And no, the volume is greater just compressed into the same given area. Yes, pressure will be greater in the area but not from the compressor.

He is correct stating that "In general it is impossible to flow more air at an equivalent or lower pressure" But..... instead of stating "unless you increase the volume of the system, like by increasing RPM, or larger engine, ect...." Should have been ......."unless the pyhsical size of the...

This is true in a N/A engine. AIR COMPRESSES which in turn is the whole concept of forced induction...... Under N/A condition the volume of air able to be filed into a given cylinder is dependant on the efficiency of the intake, ports of the cylinder including the valves being regulated by the...

Maybe the filter in the bumper opening would be better.

Here is one of the ideas

One would think as long as it is able to pull fresh ambient air it would be better than pulling in air from inside the engine bay.

Matt you crack me up! No HVAC here... If I mounted a scoop on the fender I can only think 70's Trans-Am style fender scoop? Snorkles are easy but they belong on 4X4's, not my bumper draggin cheby (aay Matt ;))

I also thought of making a custom air box in the original location, and adding a NACA duct in the hood feeding the air box.

I was thinking of a better air filter location. option 1: I can plumb 3" aluminum piping to right behind the air inlet in the bumper to a cone filter option 2: Make a custom plenum/base mounted right over the intake plenum and install a 14" carb style air cleaner mounted right over the...

Yes, the left is the front and the right is the rear. These shown are for Ford/Dodge the Chevy ones have tapered conical seats for the lugs.

No sweat Matt! rib'n is rib'n. When I first got the truck i figured someone ripped the factory spoiler off. So I went to Chevy only to find they didn't install one on this truck new?? So I bought a 1/2 ton spoiler and mounted it. They make adapters out of machined steel. They are robust to say...
