Check back issues of TDR on the website, and the Buyer's Guide. I have written many times about different mods and dyno results, as have others.

I am planning on replacing my head gasket on my 96 12v. (Due to excess crankcase pressure blowing oil out the vent above 8psi. It uses no oil as I stay below that boost pressure. I can't gripe at 400K. ) Replacing injectors and doing a valve job while out.



I ran across an article about "Grooving Heads" to increase power, help fuel mileage and run cooler.



Has anyone heard of this or is it just another 'Snake Oil' sales pitch. Here is the web site: somender-singh.com Read the article and let me know what you think.



96, 12v, 2500, 3. 54, Std, 24 button clutch, boost and pyro, mostly stock at 400K, still getting 20-21 mpg
