I don't get it? I got 275/40/17 on the back of my old gtst with only rolled lips on the guards. How much wider did you want?

what do "pumped guards" look like?

The only way to really flare the guards is to cut the existing lips off and weld something bigger in place, but I don't see how you could get that done and painted for $1k?

I think he wants 265's up the front too.

i got 265s on my front now and no problem... only time i ever hear scraping is when I do a full lock... could be because of the frontal mud guards

Did you notice a big difference with 265s up front?

I thought you said a few posts ago that you had 20s on with no problems~

no, the 20s were scraping at the front too but only on full lock and i had much smaller tyres which helped. the 20s with 265 on them would be a very bad idea. difference... no idea as I only ever used 255s and 265s at front (well except the 20s but that was just a trial and didnt do a real driving test... those rims are heavy as hell anyways so cant compare). I don't know if having fat tyres up front does any significant traction improvement. I just been putting wide ones as thats what my mate gets me.

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.

      Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
