2 space savers = happy days mate lol, although with a Ls3 they could be pretty wide & still toast them easy as ! Sounds pretty fun to try some space savers actually ha ha.

[grumpy xu1]

I would be very nervous about putting 2 different size tyres on the back with the lsd mate, I've seen a few chew to pieces because of this. Those Nissan turbo hair dressers car's insist that you do not do it because it'll wreck the diff. Gary.

Im using Penrite its about $200 for 20 litre drum LS3 takes just under 7.5 litres per oil change
and genuine oil filters
Dealer doesnt touch my cars my nephew is my mechanic has been for the last 25 years +
he can carry warranty work if needed touch wood should be good

When i bought the car it said on the brochure the SS gets a alloy wheel as a spare
3 days after owning it had a look underneath nah spacesaver spare
quick phone call where,s me alloy spare
picked the alloy spare two weeks later they said just drop the spacesaver back in a day or so
no worries still underneath my car no calls yet from the dealer lol

Gene, the liquimoly is around the same amount, if you check your oil drum, see if it contains zinc ? "Can" have bad circumstances with oxygen sensors. I'm not saying definitely, but it certainly can, also not meant for roller cam engines ask johno for his opinion on the stuff & please don't run thicker than a 5-30 mate. 5-40 hpr 5 maximum, which I'd nearly bet your using has a purple label, used in Hondas ect. Maybe just save it & use it in your torana Gene. & maybe even run some nulon in your Ls3 contains moly, Aussie made slightly cheaper, just wanted to help you mate, Gary.

Hi Gene, just re read about your oil capacity, i didn't realize that the Ls3 in a holden, was holding 7.5 litres, about time, the pisily little 5.1 litres in a ls1 sort of scares me. I put in 5.6 litres every time, will be more when i fit the oil cooler to the ss, i must remember to do that job soon. Gary.

Thanks bomber, probably turn to 6,000 max would did you think of the specs on the CT 35 528 a camtech camshaft for this engine, i know that you favour solid cams. & any advantage of running a 1.6 rocker on the inlet ? Or a waste of time in your opinion please ? Gary,

Found these today:-

they have the correct length primaries

[madtoranajzedded]

They are similar the ones i was telling you
about Dave to run on THE RAT .mandrel bent
aswell.

[N/A-PWR]

Seems so DJ

[warrenm]

Nothing wrong with 1 1/2" primaries Bomber, but "correct length primaries" for what? N/A-PWR.

[N/A-PWR]

They look about 31 inch Warren,

 

 for high revving?

your the PipeMax man

[Potta]

I think he means they're all the same length for optimum air flow.

[madtoranajzedded]

Would these tuned length duel headers be
better than the tri y's?

And a stupid question could they b joined by
another collector to form a single 2.25 2.5
pipe etc.

Yes Maz, someone could make a y shape collector for you. Google it mate, they'd be on the market somewhere already. Gary.

[warrenm]

They are long primaries, but would be nice to know how long. The secondaries could be lengthened as required. Not to badly priced.

I was a little disappointed with my hm9c's when they turned up and found they aren't mandrel bent... So yes they are 1/5/8 primaries but certainly arent that where they are bent on turns. Torque/power increase seat of pants test is a thumbs up though. 

[N/A-PWR]

I remember that Dave, makes us wonder hey.

It depends on what duration the cam is + a few other engine specs, but generally 15-20" long.

[N/A-PWR]

If you consider the exhaust centres of the Red  Six,

 

 from port  #1 to #6 equals 23 inches,

 

they are decently at least 30 inch primaries.
