Well, I'll tell ya....just got my LT-4 back today.TPIS long-tube headers,free-flow cats,mated to my existing Corsa system.Stainless from exhaust port to tips....Baseline dyno run.......298 h.p. After installation......311 h.p/319 ft/lb at rear wheel. The torque curve is incredibly flat till...

I think you've made a very good choice Edmond...good luck selling the anny. Hope to be back in pocket with dyno results tomorrow for ya on the red beast.I can't wait....

I can understand the need for a "grocery-getter" but the GtO isn't very attractive to me, (jes MHO), it'll drop 10K in value soon as it leaves the dealership, will NEVER handle like a sports car, and is an Aussie sedan to boot. When I needed a "get around car" I stuck close to home....the...

Sorry Edmond, LT-4 is in shop,I'm in Florida...will let ya know soon as I get back..

You can count on it Edmond!!!! I am like a kid at Christmas....The mod guys (G Force Motorsports in Pearland,Tx.) promise 50 RWHP gain.They have been great so far, and I've heard nothing but good stories about their work, so any 'Vette owners in the Houston area......watch for the results.

Going in tomorrow for long-tube headers and a dyno tune, plus plugs and wires.Gonna get 3 dyno pulls...a baseline, one after the header install, and a final one after a LT-1 edit and dyno tuning...can't wait to see the graph.Already have cut-lid K&N and a Corsa cat-back exhaust...should be about...

Jes a quickie..... I was back home for New Years a couple months ago...standing in line at the bank.2 transplanted yankees were talking about a little town called "Alfreda".......... It took a few till I realized they meant"Al-fa-retta"... Sheesh.

Doing the same job (kinda) on the same airplane (kinda) as I did in 1977 as an E-1 in USAF..I'm a "Gubmint Licensed Aircraft Mechanic (avionics technician) on T-38 Talon aerospace vehicles.I have the best job in the whole world(but don't tell anyone that I'd do it for free).Been around the...

The Porsche is the daily driver.The "little red car" comes out in good weather......

That's what I did.I looked far and wide and got a GREAT deal on an '87 928S4,(way under 10K), and it is an absolute ball to drive.The 'Vette now gets to rest a bit every now and then.1 piece of advice though...make double-sure the timing belt has been changed recently.It is an "interference"...

Tell me about your battery.What is the "cold cranking amperage" rating? a 12V battery is 8x 1.5 v cells.Alternators put out =14V......So there is not a dead cell.Alternator sounds fine.Maybe starter drain.A good auto parts store can check battery AND starter for ya.Keep us informed.

Hope this helps, our Hydraulic systems pump 10 gpm @ 3,000 p.s.i. and use a 10 micron filter.Extrapolating this means a 100 micron filter should flow 1 gpm(of hydraulic fluid), gas should flow just fine.......but go with the pump that has the fittings you need.I think you'll be OK.

Chris, about 33 mph per 1,000 rpm.I go to San Antonio a couple times a year, 6th gear is great on long open spaces, and downshifting is fun , but there is enough torque to pull. Greg

Nick, drive the LT-4.......you won't need my opinion.Find a twisty stretch of road,and satisfy that gremlin that lives in the nether regions of us all.Then decide. Greg

Chris, a couple of items to address.......6th gear is REALLY tall...like <2,000 rpm @ 80 m.p.h. and I have a Hurst short throw shifter (really feels like a Muncie ) vice the factory shifter...the CAGS bypass is worth it's weight in time and money, the light is fun to ignore.....Top speed is in...

Chris, Good luck...the LT-4 pulls on torque till about 3.5 K rpm, then runs like a raped ape above that.I'm in your area,get in touch.....can not go wrong with the powertrain. Greg

Also a good move to hide the Grand Mariner with the headers.....less pilferage Greg

OK, I'm gonna risk some negative vibes here.................I feel ya man.Not wanting to give up my C4, I purchased an "off-brand". A Porsche 928S4...having wanted a ZR-1 a while, it is close.My LT-4 will always be the light in my eyes, but it has some driving faults....rough ride, tiring...

Edmond, try the vacuum system first, I am going thru the same thing with the Porsche right now.High readings can also be averaged out by running the test at higher rpm.Try getting the tech to take the higher speed reading in 2nd gear???Just a thought. Greg

Welcome megatron!! Good chioce you made. As to the Eagle F1's, I have the GSD3's and love them. Do try the K&N with cut lid, I really like it. Enjoy that LT-4.. Greg
