Hi Kurtis, ATE Super Blue is good stuff and about all I use now. It's very popular among racers and motorcyclists. I'd rate it as a better fluid than Castrol LMA. High temp (ATE boiling point: 536/39

Hi Paul, It sounds like you are toying with some custom fabrication. I've seen flares, hood scoops, louvered panels, fender skirts on TR3/3A. But that's about it in terms of fabrication. The only maj

Hi Randy, I think you might find the F cam a bit much for a street car, even a relatively hot one. It has 300 degrees duration, which will position it's performance curve pretty high. Combine that wi
