SHOULD YOU RUN YOUR JUNKYARD 5.3L LS HOTTER OR COLDER FOR MAXIMUM POWER? 116 DEGREES VS 180 DEGREES!

Over the past 50 years, automobile manufacturers have made a lot of changes to engines in order to make more power, more efficiently, and with fewer exhaust emissions. There are a lot of physical changes that help with this, some minor and some major. One of the minor changes that has come about is changing the temperature at which these engines operate. While 180-200 degrees was once the norm, newer engines run 20-30 degrees hotter on average. This helps with emissions, and in some cases efficiency, but sometimes costs power. But what about the difference between ultra-cold hero dyno temps and actual hot rod temps?

Watch the latest video from Richard and you’ll see!

TX2K23 Day 1: Mustang Nearly TAKES OUT Lamborghini, 200mph Races, And MORE

Image
It’s that time of year again when everyone converges on Houston Raceway Park for TX2K. 2023 is going to be the last TX2K to be held there, as the track is going to be closing soon. Where will it be in 2024? I’m not sure, but I’m sure they will make that announcement before the end of the event this weekend. This event is known for big performances and unfortunately some big crashes too, as folks try to push their cars to the limits for fame at TX2K. This year started out just like last year, with a crazy crash that involved a Lambo. This time the Lambo was not the crasher, but almost the crashie. Check it out! Video Description: TX2K23 is upon us, which means the fastest street cars from around the United States have gathered to compete for records, trophies, and of course – bragging rights! Last year, we saw an unprecedented amount of wrecks, most of which were Supercars. This year seems to be taking a similar route, however we can’t take away from the insane level of cars that thi...

Helmet Sale: Simpson And Racequip Are On Sale Now! Quit Using A Crap Helmet.

I just got back from Holley’s LSFest West in Las Vegas and the number of people who are racing, or trying to race, wearing crappy helmets, or those that are NOT designed to be used in a car or truck, still blows me away. It gets better all the time, but even so, we need more people to do the right thing for themselves and buy a good helmet. I remember when I got my first helmet that was actually bought for me to use while racing cars. It was awesome. It fit better than anything I’d ever borrowed, and it was mine. I loved it. I have had several helmets since, but regardless of my budget, I’ve always bought a helmet that is specifically made for racing cars and is certified for doing so. Helmets can be expensive, but they don’t have to be. With this new sale coming out of Holley, their Simpson and Racequip brands are both having helmet sales. Yes, a clear-coated carbon fiber helmet is going to be more expensive than a painted one. But from a safety perspective, you can get the same prot...
