Yep. He tunes for LMR and owns BRC as far as I know. Ryne's been showing up lately in a lot of LMR's YouTube videos, tuning in person at their shop in Houston. Having him there tuning elevates...

This is a great point.

Even minor things like rivets on your jeans, or keychain fobs, or the steel retainer clip on your pocket knife can end up being pretty destructive if it becomes the...

I ran CRC's product on two occasions in my last Z (which ended up with 138k miles on the motor) with solid, noticeable results.

Values are completely out of whack at the moment. Inflation, coupled with artificially short supply have brought us here.

50 state emissions?

I have started looking for a replacement for my recently destroyed 2018 ZL1 A10 (Whoever gave 6th-gens a 5-star rating for rollovers was definitely on point, and wrong-way drivers suck)

Thanks man. It’s been like 7 weeks, and I haven’t heard about the Bro-dozer driver getting caught, so I’m not holding my breath. But I’m good, and that’s what matters.

HER, actually. Her name is Kris, and she's from the Houston area, and has a lot of fun driving her car. As far as I can tell, I am next behind her, with 133k miles on my 2018 ZL1 A10.

I've noticed when traveling through Colorado that gasoline sold at altitude runs lower octanes (regular unleaded is 85 octane in places) and the reason is air density at altitude. Running...

4.25 gallons of 100 octane and a top off with 91 raises the average R+M/2 octane level to 93. Though I have never dyno'd the car before and after, the butt dyno says the car pulls harder.
