    Question: Who uses Marvel Mystery Oil or Z-max???

    It sure cleans valve stems as you have found. Airplane A&Ps recommended MMO in the fuel for our 360 cu in air cooled Lycoming to stop valve sticking. Worked great; eliminated the need for a head R&R. I use it in my cars for the same thing as you do.

    Help! Tire Replacment

    Oh yeah!!!! Those GSC-EMTs were on my Vette when I bought it used at 108K miles. The original owner had the Vette serviced only at the selling dealer and only with GM approved or supplied parts. The tires were relatively new at that point, but they helped me nearly total my Vette shortly after I...

    Help! Tire Replacment

    That's correct, the base vehicle uses the 255/45/17 tires on the front (on 8.5" wheels) and the rear should have come with 285/40/17 tires (on 9.5" wheels). Both those tires have the same diameter. The upgrade suspension used 275/40x17 front and rear on 9.5" rims. Of course, those are the same...

    Z06 With an Automatic Transmission . . ?

    Hmmm, Z06 designed to go on curves and road courses and not necessarily the 1/4 mile, therefore no paddle shifters. So I guess that Formula 1 cars with their paddle shifters were designed for the 1/4 mile. Are you really sure that is the reason and not some other one?

    Glasspacks on my '96

    I have Supertrapps. I used the stock resonator, and just behind the differential housing added a crossover and tapered the piping to 2.5 down from 2.75. The piping also had to be curved higher in the body in order to have the 24" Supertrapps be level. The sound in nice, but higher pitch than...

    What are true 'Sawblades' ??

    I have read that the 88-90 wheels are called "salad shooters" after a period TV infomercial product called the same thing.
