Thread: So I'm at a standstill...

why do performance engines have to run on premium, why cant it run on regular and go fast? lame.........

they can, but that parts comes down to the tune. But you want to run higher grade gas to reduce kr/ping and have a lower flash point, and low/high compression comes into place aswell.

holy shiz only 16mpg? Does that sounds really low to anyone else? my v8 caddi ran with a misfire on 6 and still got 18?

our kia sorento takes $60 bucks and it lasts me like 5 days

For my information, why do you have to take the headers out to install the cam? i thought you only had to take the LIM off.

you have to take the lifters out, which requires removing the heads, which requires taking the headers off.

since when do the heads need to be removed?

you need to remove the lim,to remove the lifters, and the valve covers to remove the rockers and push rods, and of course the front of the engine.
