Try lowering it. It won't feel as top heavy.

It's a small block 427. They can stamp what ever the hell they want to on the side for international appeal, but it's still an American 427!! GM is gonna release the LS7 as a crate motor. I have a mental picture of a mid year with a tube frame and C4 suspension. Drop the LS7, 427 in that...

Don't ever do a build up on one of these cars and expect it to help resale. All things being equal, it shouldn't hurt the value too much, but it won't help. One way to look at a car like this though is that the original owner would eat the cost of the blower. If you intend to go fi anyway...

That's a good idea. I'll have to pull my front plate off the garage wall though. It's never been on the car.

Here's some on e-bay. They have some of the AFS wheels listed: http://search.ebay.com/Corvette-ZR1-Wheels_W0QQfkrZ1QQfromZR8

In the article it stated that he just did it this way during the resto as a short term show project. He's putting it all back together after he does a few big Vette shows with it. Now THAT'S a ground up restoration!!

I read that article too. The emblems are held on with fine wire so they look like they're floating. Pretty cool.

The valve spring broke which would let 'er go.

When completed, my Z should be pretty close to 650 at the wheels. It's been over 600 for quite some time now with just the cam and S-trim @ 7.5psi (LS1 pulley set.) I'm running Dynatech LT's with a Bassani off road X-pipe and Stingers. I was running Comp Cams valve springs in my stock heads. I...

Looks like this once you get all the stuff out of the way: I missed this thread Todd. Glad to hear your mods are turning out well. I'll be looking for ya out there.... If I ever get my car done. :eyerole

;LOL "Does this dress make me look fat?" :ugh

My Z is pretty heavily modified, so I run a can in every tank. The higher octane allows me to run more timing. I wouldn't use it in a stock or lightly modded car, but with fi, detonation is a big concern, especially in summer heat.

Hey Robert, Why are you yelling at me?;) I don't make the stuff, I just use it. I know a bunch of fi guys swear by the stuff. Here's a link to their site...http://www.torcoracefuels.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=28

Here's the stuff you're looking for. I run a can in every tank. Knock and boost don't mix... BTW: When's the divorce final? :D BTW 2: The PCM will pull timing rather then let you hurt your motor. Just take it easy for a little while and put the good stuff in next time.

If any of you want to drive a cool Z in a video game, pick up "Need For Speed, Hot pursuit." It has an EB Z in it, and cops to chase you! :D I like GT4, I was just diasppointed in the Z.

If you take the car to the strip, or do too many hole shots on the street you'll need a heavier clutch. As you say, the stocker will hold up for a while, but it's just a matter of time. The Maggie produces a lot of low end grunt, so you're doing the right thing. You'll get used to it. A...

Hey Mike!! How's tricks? I haven't been around much lately over on Z06Vette, but just because I've been pretty busy. Also, Dynotech has had my car for four months, so I've been kind of laying low while she's been under the knife. It threw ANOTHER serpentine belt back in the fall, so I...

That's what I was thinking. How'd you like to try to explain THAT to your insurance guy... "Honest, I was just driving along and it spontaneously burst into flame!!" :D Better remove that anodized collar for the nitrous from in front of the throttle body first (along with the rest of the...

Do you Auto X or do a lot of DE events? If not, I wouldn't worry about doing them. Jost my .02.
