Do fasteners and torque methods play a significant role in critical engine measurements. We take a look at how fasteners and torquing methods can affect how well, and how long your engine runs.
Rebuilding a blown motor may end up being a habit unless you take the time to diagnose the problem. We go to the experts at King Engine Bearings, and MAHLE Clevite to get the straight scoop on the how’s and why’s of bearing replacement.
We put K&N’s entire line of air intake systems to the test on the dyno with a bone stock 5th Gen Camaro SS to find out exactly how much rear wheel horsepower each one can add.
In Part 1 of our two-part series, we perform Stage 1 and Stage 2 upgrades from Corvette Central Performance on Project Y2k, our 2000 Corvette. Follow along as we free up trapped horsepower with improved intake and exhaust flow…
It’s pretty obvious “Swinger” is heading out as a heavy hitter. It’s been a long time coming, and finally with the paint smoothed and finished, Sean Goude, our resident tech-genius could begin the laborious task of fitting Swinger with the entire powertrain setup, exhaust, and driveshaft.
As good as the LS7 is bone stock, with its 500 plus HP, there is plenty of untapped power potential just waiting to be unleashed. In this video, we walk you through the step-by-step install of a K&N intake system on our C6 Z06, and do a bit of dyno testing to see how much power the added airflow is worth…
The AEM Cold Air Intake for the 5th Gen Camaro SS doesn’t take the easy route like other intakes. Instead, it makes you put in a bit of extra effort so your engine can grab the coolest ambient air possible. We walk you through the install of the AEM Intake, and best of all, we have before and after dyno results.
We sat down with a pair of leaders in the racing filtration industry to take a look at the past and current state of air filters in racing. K&N Filters’ Bob Harris and Airaid’s Chris Thomson both shared their viewpoints on the technological advancement of high performance air filters.
In the second installment of our race engine build, we’ll see how the rotating assembly goes together at the skillful hands of Virginia Speed’s Shawn Miller.
We walk you through the entire process of ordering a custom-grind camshaft from COMP Cams. Just like painting a car, ordering a custom grind cam is all about the prep work!
For as long as connecting rod manufacturers the world over have been using blends of aluminum to create lightweight rods, said pieces have lived under constant scrutiny regarding their long-term durability and usefulness, but in this piece, we’re going to turn rumor to myth with the folks at GRP.
There’s nothing like the look and feel from a Holley double-pumper carburetor. However, just like other mechanical parts, a carb needs periodic rebuilding to keep it metering efficiently. We show you some tips and give the step by step details on how to rebuild one for your mill.
We’ve all seen engine bearings and more than likely have taken them for granted. Looks can be deceiving though, the simplicity of engine bearings hides the sophistication of decades of research and development invested into these essential engine components.
RHS has been paying attention to all the innovation going into GM’s LS engines over the past few years. To meet the swelling of technology and performance coming out of the LS motors, RHS recently designed a fresh take on the LS engine block for extreme street and racing applications.
The Cadillac CTS-V holds its own as a powerhouse straight from the factory. Whether it’s on the street or at the track, this four-door luxury sedan can switch from errand-runner to a street-legal drag car. While we respect the amount of power the stock CTS-V produces, we wanted to give our 2011 a bit more spice.
On the surface, the bigger is better thought process seems to make sense. A larger 950cfm race carburetor is bigger and therefore should pump more fuel and air to the engine and make more power. That’s not necessarily the case and we’re going to show you why.
Our ongoing 388 LSX race engine project with Virginia Speed is off to a good start, and we have a new video to introduce the project, let you in on our goals, and give you a preview of all the good stuff to come.
When adding boost to any engine, it’s all about detonation control to maximize power, boost, and engine life. Race gas can get expensive as an every day fuel, but water/methanol injection can give you that additional octane plus other positive benefits. We explain how it all works inside.
Thanks to a unique program, Corvette buyers who select the Z06 or ZR1 models can opt to help build their own engines at GM’s Performance Build Center. Join us as we follow along with regular customer JD Haase as he gets to deliver his new baby LS7 engine into the world!

The foundation for any performance engine build is the block, and our LSX-based race motor being built by Virginia Speed is no exception. Before any of the sexy hardware from Trick Flow, ProCharger, Holley, Lunati, JE, GRP, and a host of other partners in the build can be added, we first need a solid framework.
