Believe it or not my favorite moment came when I let someone else drive it. He was rodding it up pretty good and I noticed he kept looking in the mirror. He said someone was trying to catch us but wasn't having any luck. We had to stop at a light and this pure rice Integra pulls up quickly and...
You would be correct. :) Where in the world did you get this photo? It was taken at the Mt Big Sky Corvette Meet last year in Great Falls. That flag is HUGE. I think they got it from the Air Force or National Guard. The picture was taken in a room with about a 20-30 ft ceiling and the flag was...
My TT has no mufflers...just a Rand Tech cat. The y-pipe w/precats was changed to one with no precats. The car was loud before the cat and precats were modified. I almost jumped out of my seat the first time I heard it start with the new cat. The bark was deeper in tone and a little louder. I...
It was my driver side wastegate that was bad also. Does yours look rusty? Mine was. Anyway, I think if you put the car on a lift you can hook the guage up directly to the wastegate. Of course, you'll want to check the lines to see if perhaps they are leaking, causing the wastegate failure. It...

7. Will a K&N filter cause my vehicle’s mass air sensor to fail?
No. A properly oiled K&N filter will not contaminate a mass air sensor. However, if extremely over oiled, it's possible for contamination to occur. In the last few years certain vehicles have had design...
If you want real-world evidence watch the tape from Callaway regarding the TT project. GM told Callaway their engines would live up to the power generated by the turbos with no modifications. Stock engines with stock oil blew in ten minutes. Callaway changed to Mobil 1 and the stock engines...
Thanks. I can't quote all years #s but I can tell you there were 4 yellow TT convertibles in '87. That's from Joanne at Callaway. I still can't take my eyes off it when I'm in the garage. :D :D

Description says Dymags but all I see are the buzzsaws. Looks in pretty good shape.
I've been told (after my *****ing...) that the C4 brakes take a lot of force in those instances you need quick braking. One thing to check...is less force needed to stop the car when the engine is running? If so, the booster is working. If the feel is the same as when the engine is off then the...
Re: boost problem
He said the same thing to me after I put on the Random Tech cat and y-pipe with no precats. It was the wastegate...it had failed at the same time.
If you're interested I have a friend with a yellow '76 T-Top for sale. Not sure of the price. He doesn't have to sell...just needs to make room for the ZR-1 and C5. It has the higher HP 350 and oak interior IIRC. Missoula's only 500 from Seattle!
Check your wastegate with a vacuum gauge and see if it will hold vacuum. If not, it's gone. I had an overboost problem and my mechanic pinpointed it in 10 minutes with the guage. Also, you don't want to manually adjust the microfueler unless you are on a dyno and are monitoring your A/F ratio...
Try going over to www.corvetteforum.com and paging for Turbocat in the ZR-1 forum. I'm pretty dang sure he's not running the stock microfueler anymore since he has 16 injectors now!
