SORRY FOLKS here comes Aboatguy rant!
.

It seems like a majority of LTX internet gospel could be wrong. I read all over the internet that in order to run roller rockers and headers LT4 knock sensor module was required, optisparks disolve when wet, stock pcm maxes out around 6800 etc et al and all of that information was false. I know its false since I've been running all stock LT1 ignition sensors and PCM and hitting 7000 plus rpm in my 1 to 1 gear (Drive in my 4l60E) for YEARS.

Then theres the 4L60E OBDI stall wall which turned out to be another non-issue(at least on my build and Ed Wright tuning).
And my favorite the all weekend spark plug and wire change. I know for a fact that a single person can get up early in the morning, remove the engine place it on an engine stand, work on it for a few hours and still be driving before dark only using a helper for two 15 minute sessions. How can a competent back yard mechanic take so much longer to change plugs than it takes R/R an engine?

So who knows what is really true. Now when I have questions I take what I read on the web and often in the FSM with a grain of salt and if I'm truly stumped on an engine issue I call Ed Wright, or Phil and Ron at AI and they have never let me down.

So what common LTX gospel have you found to be false.

You can't convert an auto to a manual without vibration issues.

The opti-spark is the root of all evil.

I know you can't do this..




Oh wait I just did..

When you have no tools or JUNK tools changing spark plugs can be an all day job. Quality tools make a HUGE difference. My LT1 never gave me anything to whine about ran like stink.
