    What are some of the problems with C-6 ?

    Only complaints with my 07 1. Exhaust sounded wimpy. Fix: Kooks lt's and midsection, with Corsa Sports outback. 2. Shifter on the mn6 kinda sucked to my liking. Fix: Installed Callaway shifter. 3. Did not like looks of stock air box. Fix: Installed BBK cai. and last but not least I would not...

    Anyone with input appreciated...

    Karl are you running lt's ahead of you Corsa Sports? I am seriously contemplating putting the Borla Stingers on the block for sale and switching to the Corsa Sports. I don't mind the sound excellerating, but can't handle the drone. They were fine before the lt's were installed. :confused

    Anyone with input appreciated...

    Borla Stingers here w/Kooks lt's and high flow cats, car is wicked loud when you stand on it. I didn't think any exhaust could be as loud as my ZR1's w/Brian A's headers and Flowmasters outback w/no cats but this system takes the cake for hell raising. I might have to change out to Corsa Sports...

    does a bbc 454 or 572 fit in a zr1 ?

    SPIJKER, the BB will go in a ZR1 the same as it would go in any other C4 Corvette. However, if your talking a drag race car the ZF 6 speed tranny would be a poor choice compaired to an automatic tranny. I believe you also would have issues with the Dana 44 rear end holding up to the torque of a...

    What rpm's should I shift at?

    DAVZCAR, I was shifting my 91 between 7000 and 7200 rpm before I ran it on the dyno. The dyno showed me the car made max hp at 6800 before it started to fall off. The dyno operator is an old school drag racer and suggested I shift the car at 6800 rpm right at the peak of it's power. He was right...

    Plenum gasket GM part number

    Wow, in that case your dealer should be able to look them up for you. Last time I went to the dealer was for exhaust manifolds gaskets. They showed them still available, but after doing a national dealer search they couldn't find any. They told me I'd just have to wait until they made some. Well...

    shifter knob removal

    If that doesn't work try locking on to it with a small pair of vice grips and pulling it out. Plan B: When I installed the Hurst short throw shifter, while pulling the wedge out with the vice grips, it broke off. Plan C: Drilled a small hole in the center of the wedge, scewed in a sheet metal...

    ZR-1 Top Speed

    Question here guys, what did Calloway do to get 256 mph out the car he called the Sledge Hammer? I saw it auctioned off on tv at one of those high end auto auctions. They claimed it was totally streetable, and on a C-4 platform. The winning bid was just over 200K. Later 84 CF 91 ZR-1

    Aftermarket Wheels & LTPS Question

    My 91 ZR-1 with no sensors in the after market wheels lights the LTPWS's full time. My solution was to pull the fuse which also runs the cruise controll. In my opinion if there was ever a car that doesn't need cruise controll it's the ZR-1. 84 CF 91 ZR-1

    Headers

    Bob, believe me the wait is worth it. Come on now you Montana guys got a couple more months of B.S. weather just like we do here in Wyoming. Hope you have everything up and running by May. Later 84 CF 91 ZR-1

    Need your opinion

    You can test the coil packs through the plug wires "paired," with an ohms meter. Ref: cylinders 5&8, 4&7, 1&6, 2&3, they should read under 20 ohms over 20 ohms to infinity bad. This has been posted on the forums before. Good luck, Dave Hardwick.

    ZR1 stock mufflers

    WV, something must be different or Cosa, Flowmaster, Borla, B&B Triflow, and Power Effects wouldn't offer specific systems for the LT1 and LT5. I can only assume that the systems are tuned and designed for the specific motors. If your going to go after market exhaust try to listen to the...

    Headers

    Rob, Brians email address is usa_won@yahoo.com I installed a set of his headers last summer and love em. Brian was a super guy to deal with, he returns emails promptly and fully answers any questions you may have with the installation. Hope this helps. 84 CF 91 ZR-1
