I say go lower compression and change the cam because that actually makes it more driveable over the long run IMO. You can have a street tune and a race tune to make it even more streetable if you want. |

So ive decided. Just gonna take the hard way out, do it right, and lower my compression and run boost.. this car made 586 foot pounds of torque the way it sits.. i figure ill llose a hundred pounds or sirght off the line, but in the end, its safer to turbo on low compression, and will yield better results.
STAY TUNED BOYS. Looking for 650+whp on pump gas on a REAL stingy dyno. And yes, its still a driver. |

I have been pure e85 in my old subie, and it was fine, but i had to literally plan any trip I made becuase of where i could fuel up. I also run an e30 tune in my Focus st, an i get e30 by mixing 91 and e85. Its still a pain in the ass in the same way, so **** it, low compression high boost it is. |

We are in the process of cam swapping an 01 2wd reg cab short bed 5.3
Pulled the cam this afternoon and the front cam bearing is brass over halfway around on the pressure side. I was shocked. Truck only has 61k on it and it's hard the oil changed 24 times with Mobil 1 synthetic. Older guy that owns it bought it new. Any thoughts? |

Edit: And I am literally just saying what comes to mind. Thats a lot of oil changes at short interval for no reason for an LS motor designed to go 8,000+ without an oil change under normal conditions. |
