    2000 c-5 temp range

    Your theory? What exactly is your theory? To just leave things as they are? I don’t need to check with anyone. I have my own personal results from the slight modifications I have made to my Corvettes. Each Corvette that I have owned has exceeded factory performance specifications and...

    2000 c-5 temp range

    The stock setting is for the high speed fan to switch on at 235, when it comes on there is a period of time before it takes affect and 240 is not unheard of in a C5. I have seen it on C5s many times. Unless the cooling system is maintained well (radiator area kept clean and un-obstructed) it...

    2000 c-5 temp range

    There is a very simple answer. Because the engines were not designed with maximum power and longevity in mind. The goal was to meet emissions requirements and CAFÉ fuel regulations while still delivering good power. Its called a compromise. You don’t have to be an engineer to know that an...

    GM prepares to shut Indianapolis plant after workers reject concessions

    Are you saying they were earning between 22 to 28 bucks and hour and all got pay cuts? OR that was their pay when they took the job? Big difference in resulting work ethic

    GM prepares to shut Indianapolis plant after workers reject concessions

    For someone working 40 hours a week @ 28 and hour, to get 14 an hour but a $12500 per year "adjustment" its still close to a $17,000 a year cut. Cant say I would want those folks making parts for my new car - no matter what brand. There has to be more to this as far as "taking their chances"

    Took my top off & .........

    There used to be a brace sold that bolted in place of the top. It worked pretty well as I remember.

    Took my top off & .........

    That's normal with C4s. The roof panel adds much needed structural integrity. Thats why it bolts in on C4s and simply latches in on C5s.

    C5 Cooling System

    My approach to temp control.. I installed a manuall fan switch and a lower temp t-stat. By switching on either 1 or boths fans, I can maintain coolent temps under 190 on a 90 degree day, and hot lap quester mile passes -or after waiting in the staging lanes. I did make sure my stock radiator...

    Question: LS1 Air Bridge replacement ?

    The Vararam requires much more effort to install, and you will see some improvements at the track. Seat of the pants on the street, not so much.

    FINALLY a straight forward USB and Audio interface for the C5 Z06 ???

    Looks interesting. I went with the GM AUX-10 and a "Y" connector for my SIRIUS and iPod connections. This looks like a device that goes in series with the stock radio. Hope it works out, let us know.

    I couldnt even imagine driving a ZR-1 in NYC. That front splitter would be torn off in the first day.

    Synthetic or "dino" oil?

    SO……. Whats the point of all this anyway? Synth vs Dino? Is there really any doubt that synthetic oil is better? Is the extra $16 an oil change the factor?
