Just wondering if anybody is running a Breathless Performance Products, C4 Vortex Rammer as an intake filtering system? And if so, what do you think of it? I'm considering the addition to take advantage of the cooler air in the intake stream. That's got to be a good thing! This is what...

Personally, I like the Corsa System (I have it!) But, for what you seem to be saying, I'd go with just the MagnaFlow mufflers installed on the stock pipes. I have been running MagnaFlow for 8 years on my GMC pick-up to get the deeper mellow tone you desire. I love the sound on a 5.7L throttle...

Just wondering if "Power Pulleys" from various companies are worth the cost (about $165) and effort to install? Any REAL gains to be had? or just a lighter wallet? Example would be: ASP power pulleys Any thoughts?

48mm throttle bodies vs. 52mm!!! My experience with a neighbors 96 LT1 Vette has been that the 48mm is plenty of airflow for most modifications other than heads / cam type stuff. He installed a BBK 52mm and it caused nothing but trouble, and finally bought a new 48mm from GM and the car ran...

My 96 LT1 dyno results This is my 96 LT1 automatic, basic mods, in sig. 75 deg. temps, 700 ft. above sea level H.P.- 264.7 T.Q.-290.8 lb./ft. Your right in line! each dyno can be a little differnt as well. Barometric pressure, humidity, temp. all play a role **Gary96LT4 , here on the Action...

First off: I love my Corsa's, best sound out there IMHO On the "slits" you speak of, I had a simalar problem, only one side was exposed a little and leaked, I left it like that for about a year until I had the exhaust off for more work on other things. At that time, I took the pipe that...

You are saying STREET PREPARED autocross car. Therefore, not highly modified, street legal. Best bet would be an L98 motor ( 85-91) Anti-lock brakes started in 1986 Automatic's are fine in most cases, some people prefer a manual, can use engine braking going into corners...

What's wrong with a DANA 36? Just for your information, I had my original Dana 36, 2:59 geared rear-end up-graded by a local speed shop to the "thick" ring geared 3:73 set. This eliminates using excess shims when going from 2:59 to 3:73. Anyway, 4 years , and 20,000 miles with no...

Re: enforced for verts in Hawaii FYI: I belive in NHRA you can run a "factory" hardtop on a C4 convertible Vette and they treat it as a coupe. So you would be O.K. with a factory hardtop down to 11.99 seconds in 1/4 mile. Now, if only NCCC would agree with NHRA on the hardtop issue!

Hello, Just considering using a motor flush treatment on an older higher mileage motor that lack maintenance from previous owners and has a fair amount of sludge type build-up. This motor burns very little, if any, oil, and runs very strong. I've changed the oil twice in a very short...

? Load distributing hitch? OK, Since we brought this topic back up! I do know that wieght distributing hitch systems do work. I do not use one since I enjoy the trailering challenge without one. Yes, I have pulled trailers with them, and do like them. My question for any "Physics"...

Looks like they removed that article from the website.:hb I get file 404, not found crap!

Good Advice! Thanks smurfvet! That pretty much sums it up. Ever heard of using nylon rope , inserting into cylinder thru spark plug hole, then turning motor over to compress nylon up against piston top and valve to keep the valve shut during seal replacement procedure? Instead of the...

Old Cars? Hey Fiddler, I know it's too late this time, But............, How far back does "Carfax" go when doing checks? I'm interested in a 1938 Chevy VIN# V07141ZW Am I way off base on this? Thanks,

Thanks Chris That sounds reasonable. It is most noticable when autocrossing and the fluid is hot. You come back to park in the pits or get in line for another run and must really muscle up on the steering wheel ! If you flush the way you describe: 1) About how much fluid would you need? 2...

Not a bad idea going with the "Camber Brace" But, Sway bars are pretty inexpensive and easy to install. Not a bad idea trying a bigger bar and see what you think, you can always go back to stock if you don't like it! Then put the bar for sale in the classifieds section! Poly bushing DO make a...

I have a small problem with the power steering on a 96 LT1. When warm, the steering is normal EXCEPT when you stop and drop down to idle speed or come to a stop sign or whatever. Then the steering effort increases dramaticaly, you notice it very much when parking. I've tried replacing the...

Did you ever get a picture? This topic is of interest to alot of people. Wheels are one area where improvement is readily noticed :cool Your technique is good for many generations of Vette's :CAC
