Audi S5 V8 Walnut Blast & Carbon Clean: Bringing Back the Breathing
The Audi S5 V8 is known for its smooth power delivery, great sound and strong performance. But like many direct-injection engines, it can develop a problem that isn't always visible from the outside — carbon buildup inside the intake system. This S5 came into Revhigh for a walnut blast and carbon clean to remove accumulated carbon deposits and help restore proper airflow through the intake system.

Why Spark Plug Leads Matter on High-Performance V8 Engines
When it comes to engine performance, most people focus on the big-ticket upgrades — intake systems, exhausts, camshafts, injectors and ECU tuning. But one part that is often overlooked is the ignition system, particularly the spark plug leads. For a V8 engine to produce consistent power, the ignition system needs to deliver a strong and reliable spark to every cylinder. If the spark isn't consistent, the engine can suffer from misfires, poor throttle response and reduced perf

More Boost Doesn’t Always Mean More Power: Understanding ECU Calibration
When it comes to turbocharged performance cars, it’s easy to assume that more boost automatically means more power. Turn the boost up, make more horsepower — right? Not always. Boost pressure is only one part of the equation. To get the most from an engine, the airflow, fuel, ignition timing, intake temperatures and torque management all need to work together. That’s where proper ECU calibration makes a real difference. What Does Boost Actually Mean? Boost is the pressure cre

LS3 0821 Cylinder Head Valve Seat Failure — How a Small Failure Can Cause Catastrophic Engine Damage
If you own an LS3, particularly one fitted with GM 0821 cylinder heads, there is one issue worth knowing about: valve seat failure. What can start as a relatively small problem inside the cylinder head can quickly turn into major engine damage when a valve seat comes loose and drops into the combustion chamber. We recently had an LS3 come into the workshop after suffering exactly this type of failure. Watch the Full Video Breakdown In the video below, we explain what happened

Engine Oil 101: How to Choose the Right Oil for Your Performance Car
When it comes to engine maintenance, engine oil is one of the most important — and most misunderstood — parts of the equation. Customers often ask questions like: Is thicker oil better? What does 10W-40 actually mean? Is full synthetic oil worth it? Can I use performance oil in a standard daily driver? Does a turbocharged engine need different oil? How often should I change my oil? The truth is, choosing engine oil isn't simply about picking the thickest or most expensive opt
