  1. mine was knocking until i put 5 quorts of oil in it now it runs like a beast.. did u check the oil dip stick thing..? do u have oil lol

    if its not that then...hmm sorry

    LOL yeah its got plenty of oil. It is time for an oil change. Its about 3200 miles, im going to just do the oil change if I cant find out anything to do before hand. Thanks for the quick answer though.

  2. You dont want backpressure at all. What you need is exhaust velocity. Backpressure is bad and reduces power horribly. You could take any car/truck and redo the whole exhaust with nothing but straight pipe, Not too small so it wont scavenge all the exahust gases from the cylinders, but not too larger so you loose velocity from the cylinders from removeing and pushing out the exhaust as fast as possibly. You could take a a camaro, mustang, corvetter or even a civic and stright pipe it to a correct size not to small yet not to large and it will make more power than any exhaust you could put. Haveing a cat and a muffler are only there to meet with regulations of emissions and db exhaust levels. Aftermarket exhausts are very much more freeflowing then stock but still restrict compared to open header/s or straight pipe/s. I would deffintally look into a better intake deffintally a cold air intake absolutly with a heat shield to keep away from engine bay heat, high flow air filter, and pretty much everything ktownsdriftking said theres just no reason for me to repeat it.

  3. Ive always usually used STP Fuel Injector cleaner or STP Octane Booster but im now useing Lucas Fuel Injection/Carb cleaner now with my gas when I fill up but I was wondering if anyone knows the Octane of the Boosters usually? They are 12oz Bottles. I was just wondering what kind of octane it really is and what it boosts you up to. Because they all say Jet Fuel and barely street lega and yada yada yada lol.
