I would likely run 5W30 all year long in climates that average below that of more moderate climates such as where I live in North Carolina. Here our summers avg 90+ degrees F and our winters n...

Originally posted by Jeff_Jeske: Some KLZE motors actually were 9.2:1 compression motors. They also came with the wrong cams...KL01 instead of KL31. These ZE motors were not 196HP motors. To have a full 196HP motor you need the KL31 heads, KL31 cams, square port runner intake, and flat top high com...

So the ticket would be the MS LSD unit, a MX-3/Probe tranny, and an MX-6 ring and pinion

close ratio LSD and highway cruising gear!

I have yet to find a KL locally that I want to actually purchase - almost bought a whole PGT w/94K miles on it on Ebay for $400 though! But anyhow, what turbo you gonna go with? I am think T3/T04E 50 trim Stage I...
