    Gear oils, what’s your flavor?

    I'd say that is Fantastic advice from a Pro that knows! Although I still like Maxima 250wt for the S4 and S4D, they shift like Butter :-)

    Gear oils, what’s your flavor?

    this is a ford/chevy discussion for sure but I can say that no matter what fluid the key according my trans shop is proper R&P break-in and then warming up the trans before taking off under power I like to do several circles in first gear 5 mph before heading out. I have had incredible luck...

    Safe Sled

    We sell them and the reports coming back have been good, but they do wear out - I hear they are good for 4 or 5 times depending on the distance the idea is great and saves a lot of parts from worse damage and hours of time I like that they are light and easy to store -one person per group...

    Better throttle cable options??

    Control Cables IMO are the best of the best. 0 the old Morse Cables ( red ones) are cheaper but old tech and fail way more often. - control cables will usuially out live thew owner

    Pro R paddle choices

    We stock lots of sand tires and deal on STUs and this is the combo we sell the most and everyone seems really happy with it. I was initially apprehensive because the 10.75 is a heavy tire, but STU assured me the car does better with the 10.75 and the look is what everyone wants. We have done...

    Dune closures

    Its a good thing the dunes are far less crowded now that we have an additional 150K SxS's and closures - sarcasm But once they remove your rights, its nearly impossible to claw them back. You know how to vote, do it get them out It could happen ...

    Camp Lights

    I am somewhat in the camp of relaxing Campfire light is the best. But that said we often do large dinners and during that time we like light - so we starting stringing these upon a combo of off the RV ladders and couple poles - if we do a small circle we circle the whole camp . These run...

    Race Radios - School Me - Music Quality

    thats been my experience too just from testing all headsets here in the store - you need the STX intercom and hard wired input has a better range than BT does by a lot. But we are not talking a Class A amp in the Intercom, its way underpowered to get a full dynamic range I have not tried the...

    Upgrading from 27 spline to 33 spline microstubs

    I doubt you have Mid-Board Microstubs if yours are 27 spline since no one ever made those. The difference between the Mid Board and Regular is the placement of the caliper in that picture - if your hub is deep and caliper is placed back its a Midboard - if the caliper is even with the surface...

    Most Aggressive Paddle for 15 in Wheel?

    As the chart somewhat says - the Pro has a Thicker taller paddle - its nearly 2" tall and its shape is more cupped, compared to the Blaster 33 #2 cut which is about 1.5" tall and its half as thick STU says the thicker paddle stops the paddle from bending back under high torque. We have all...

    Upgrading from 27 spline to 33 spline microstubs

    Adding to this .. the unit bearings offset are all the same - all 27 splines I know of use a 3.60 DIA bearing - and 33 splines come in the same size. The other concern is the size of the bolt pattern ( where the b=rake hub mounts) 27's came in 5 on 4 1/2 or 5 on 4 3/4 you just have to...

    No-Lift-Shift, What is it? (Paddle Shift Info Added 9/17/24)

    I have done a couple No Lifts with Weddle and Holley ECU's - basically exactly as Sean describes. I used a spring loaded Microswitch in shifter and the standard (new style) Gear dash gear indicator, the electrical part is fast and setting a table in Holley is super easy. We tuned it on a "road...

    Wheel Pros Bankruptcy

    All the PE firms seem to have the same playbook for US manufacturing companies in "specialized markets". Automotive aftermarket is the ripest for them. So many manufacturers started by families and grew but were under tight control - they age out and see a decent windfall and they are gone...
