When changing the camshaft on as LS engine, while the engine is still in car, unfasten the oil pump and change the O ring on the oil pump. This will make it way easier to get the timing chain assembly together. Yes, you can change the camshaft without unfastening the oil pump. But it will give you way more room to…

That thing looks awesome

I agree. I like the wing... looks IMSA inspired. And if it works better then what’s the problem? Who wants a less effective wing?

Agreed, 0-60 numbers aren't a good overall measure of performance. 

I do still care. I'm into racing and it's a fun thought to think of production cars competing for a hot lap. I realize that this has little real world value, but I own a lowered and cammed SS. 

Amen. I had a Nissan with CVT and it was awful.

Adam, I'm confused. Does the Lada have an LSX? Because the displacement doesn't match an LSX. 

Btw Bradley, why isn't Jalopnik reporting on Hamilton's 7 title? Is it on purpose? It's been 24 hours. Seems like a subtle F U to Hamilton. 

Im a huge F1 fan... Congratulations Lewis, and I'm all for leveling the playing field. I do trust that computer software could get it right by 2030. But there's a chance that you see F1 cars doing a 180mph backflip on the main straight if they can't test in a tunnel. I'm with Toto, gotta test. 

To each their own. The older I get, and the more wrenching I do, I realize that the engine is extremely important. I couldn't say no to this 1st gen LS1. An engine that changed the wrenching culture in America. 

You had me at LS1. I'm currently on my 2nd LS3. 

Ha!

10 mm socket, blade, flathead, pliers, clamp, and a center punch. 

No no no Jason.

This made me pause and think...

Yea, you could put the Charger, Challenger, Durango and Jeep on the list. They've looked the same for a long time. 

Im a Chevy guy, but only own one Chevy shirt, an IMSA Corvette Racing. I love when IMSA comes to CA for the Long Beach Grand Prix. I also own a Toyota Mark 3 shirt.

900CC sport bike, but if I'm hauling bags of stolen money M3

Ha! Sounds like a line from Arrested Development.
