holy **** thats thick lol. some other guys told to me run mobil 1 5w30 high mileage for better zinc content. i ran amsoil and nothing happened.

one thing im worried about running 20w50 is that winter is coming and dont know how well that would do when starting my car in the dead of winter lol

Yeah you can try a 10W-40.Winter in AZ is not really a winter haha.I can't find a 20W50 full synthetic so I have been running conventional,but I gonna drop down to 10w-40 Syntec to get her back on sythetic.

I know when I had 5w30 in mine after the build,the valvetrain noise was super loud(from the valvesprings)

But 10w30 or 10w40 should be good for you in the winter time.

When did your valve train noise happen? All the time or just when warm?

has anyone used a "soft mount vacuum line fitting?
Vibrant Soft Mount Vacuum Line Fitting Kit : BoostController.com LLC - America's Source for High quality turbo boost controllers, silicone hose, and more performance products - 877-836-6155- precision boost control. Turbosmart Warehouse Distributor

i need to add a new fitting for my wastegate pre throttle body and i dont think my intercooler piping is thick enough to drill and tap for a 1/8npt fitting

can you get those fittings anywhere or are they specialty? thanks

So got my first ticket in Illinois ever yesterday, 2 days before I sell car lol. Statie was at least nice, knocked it down to 19 over instead of 45 over, only warning on improper lane usage lol. Made me sweat though, after telling me I could get wreckless, waited 15 min then another cop and tow truck showed up. Had me all nervous, thend just a ticket
