    GM has recently released their 2012 Product Guide, which details all of the engines and transmissions used in production vehicles, as well as the specs of the engines. Several years ago, we used to outline these updates, but have been lacking in getting the information out for the past few years. In an effort to try to keep the site up on the most recent releases from GM, I am trying to get this information back into articles again. With that said, on to the information.

    I think we have briefly discussed the new integrated exhaust manifold heads in the forums before, and it seemed most people were against it with the inability to install better flowing headers, etc. After watching the video, and reading the associated article, it actually seems that these may have some good potential. It sure would be interesting to get one of these heads to take a hands-on look at. With that said, onto the video and article!

    PONTIAC, Mich. – Anyone who has ever played the game “telephone” knows that the more times a message gets passed along, the less accurate it will be when it gets to its destination. The same thing applies to feeding fuel to an engine.

    Across-the-board use of direct injection in the Buick lineup is helping to take translation layers out of the delivery process to reduce both fuel consumption and emissions. Buick is the only domestic brand powered exclusively by direct injected engines.

    With all of the different top-end swaps and bottom-end builds out there, I was talking to Ben at WOT-Tech about the Diamond pistons and how different setups would affect the compression ratios (CR) of the pistons he was offering. I wanted to pass this piston information on to the users so that they could then determine what their final CR would be with any setup. Due to marginal sales, WOT-Tech has decided to no longer list or stock specific CR pistons anymore. What does this mean to everyone? It means you can tailor the pistons to suit your specific application, no matter what components you are using.
