The dipsticks are not that "accurate". Just make your own "full" mark on the stick if you want.

The unit holds 3.8-4.0 oz of the V3 oil. You may get some misting or venting from top vent plug after recent oil change and hard driving, that is normal. Just wipe off any excess oil that mists out.

Thanks, that's what I was thinking since 4-oz came out!

I have an 08 ls3 with headers, ls9 cam, 3" exhaust. Getting ready to install Ti trim and was wondering if its ok to run 3.6 pulley on 93 octane until I get meth or do flex fuel down the road.
Will the 3.6 be too much boost for 93 only? Or would it be ok with low timing and rich a/f?

That sounds aggressive for not having meth or E85 to get the octane up. Best to speak to your Tuner before and see if they are comfortable with that or not. I prefer to stay under 600rwhp on pump gas only. Then with meth or E85 up to 700rwhp.

It's a reverse thread short bolt that we have custom made. You can actually still adjust slide tensioner without that bolt on it. Just use a flat tip pry bar and you can pry against the smooth idler on the slider and get belt tight.

You guys ok with the fires? My cousin may lose his house in Carpenteria (4 miles south of there). The fire was less than 1/2 mile away. Just want to make sure all the A& people are doing good since they are in the danger zone (cue Kenny Logins music)

It's been scary out here, lots of damage and many people that have lost homes.

We are okay where the shop is located, but had it make us nervous one day last week when it flared up again.
