  1. Turbos are exhaust driven and require no horsepower to provide boost, but can have lag off the start, whereas a supercharger is driven mechanically off the crankshaft and requires engine power to provide boost but can provide boost quicker than a turbo. Superchargers can also be more difficult to package under the hood
  2. Glad you’re back. Do you sell your files at all for personal use?
  3. Depends on the look you’re going for as well. I purchased theses for this exact purpose but I ended up using stainless 10mm fuel line:
  4. Timeless! Especially love the bumper trim and tailgate trim!
  5. Came for the model, stayed for the story. Amazing job!
  6. Great advice. Maybe you should do research instead of just throwing out potentially bad advice based on “what you were told”.
  7. They should’ve used the pop can wheels on it!
  8. Not sure where you got that info from but in all the research and reading I’ve done on 3D printing I’ve never come across anywhere saying isopropyl will melt plastic or resin (it’s even bottled and stored in a plastic container!). I’ve lost small parts for months in the bottom of my cleaning tank and pulled them out and other than making a few trips through the spinner at the bottom there is no issue with them being melted. If something got melted then there was other issues with the print, perhaps the resin wasn’t fully cured or the walls were paper thin. I don’t claim to be an expert but I’ve done a fair amount of reading to make sure I don’t have these issues and have yet to have any, or read of any, and I wouldn’t leave parts soaking overnight but 10-20 minutes for sure I do all the time.
  9. I don’t use cast resin, only 3D printed resins
  10. I soak in isopropyl alcohol, let that dry then spray with windex then wash with a toothbrush and dish soap

  19. Every horsepower counts 😁
  20. GM switched them on/off depending on the year and emissions requirements. They did the same thing with their V8 trucks of the same era. GM never sold an engine from factory with an oil catch can
