    Theta III

    The best I can tell the 300hp Theta III should be available in the 2019 G80 but no dates given for the other platforms using the Theta II engines. Theta II will be phased out through.

    Octane booster really work or a waste of money?

    If you're not tuned there is no reason to run a octane booster. Stick with premium. Some of the octane boosters out there are known to foul spark plugs.

    How to permanently disable Auto Start/Stop

    Should be able to jumper the two signal wires on the switch connector. That's what I did on my F150 to disable the Auto Stop/Start.

    Valve Clearance Checking and Adjustment

    Same process applies, the camshafts have to be removed to pull the buckets. Shims on top of buckets is a simpler solution, only a special tool is needed to depress the bucket and a magnet to extract the shim with the camshafts in place.

    Punted on the Stinger...

    A buddy of mine just recently bought a V6 Camaro 2LT package. The V6 with the 8spd is surprisingly quick.

    Valve Clearance Checking and Adjustment

    I had my fill of shim under buckets valve adjustments with Kawasaki's GPz engines. Never again!
