    mods worth it

    when i had my 86, i basically had all the same mods you're talking about, except i had borlas instead of flowmasters and i never did the throttle body. i felt that the combo of all these mods made quite a difference and they were all well worth it. now, i never had the car dyno'd or pulled any...

    corsa...tiger shark vs pro tips

    cool...they do look really cool, and you bing up a good point in the fact that you don't need the exhaust plate which can range from 60-400 bucks. thanks for the advice.

    c5 technical seminar, would you attend??????

    i would definitely attend if it were in my area. as for content, i'd break it up into sections (ie. engine, exhaust, computer etc). and just be willing to answer all kinds of questions. good luck...it's a shame you're not in the northern va area.:w

    First time Vette, finally!

    i could be wrong, but i think there's a kit out there to lower the front that uses longer spring bolts. if your car has this kit installed, you could probably just adjust the bolts to correct the ride height. anyway, you'll get lots of great answers at this site. congrats on the vette. my...

    corsa...tiger shark vs pro tips

    i've been looking at corsas lately and i'm probably going to get some in a few months. i really think the tigershark tips look awesome, but they're considerably more expensive. is appearance the only advantage, or am i missing something? does anyone have the tigersharks installed? how do you...

    Painted the hood liner

    it's not hard at all...in fact, i really enjoyed doing it. and it's totally worth it. i put it off for a while thiking that i'd screw it up, but i was really happy with it. my only issue is that i couldn't get the white to come through no matter how many coats i used. so, i just used silver...

    Daytime parking at work... cover?

    mine stays in the garage at night, but i don't cover it at work...just 'cause i'm lazy. my biggest concern about leaving the car in the elements is hail...i still don't know what hail does to vettes (and i don't want to find out first hand). if you don't mind taking a few extra minutes to...

    Donaldson Air Filter

    i installed the black wing last week. i think it's a great mod, i can notice the difference off the line (a little) and at higher speeds. a great mod in my opinion.

    Intake & Exhaust

    i just got done installing the blackwing and test driving the car. wow!!! it really makes a seat of the pants difference in power. when i looked at the stock air box, i couldn't for the life of me figure out how any air got in there at all...the car's breathing much better now:Twist . it's a...

    Performance upgrade suggestions for my 1998 wanted!

    london is a great place to visit...we'll be going back for a week next summer...although, you don't see a lot of vettes there. my cousin almost fell on his a** when i told him the vette had a 5.7...they think anything bigger than a 2.0 is huge.:J i'm looking forward to the blackwing...i wish...

    Performance upgrade suggestions for my 1998 wanted!

    i agree with jim d. from what you're saying the 3:42 would be perfect for your car. i've also heard a lot of good stuff about long tube headers...they'd probably be a great compliment to the black wing and b&b. good luck, and keep us posted as to what mods you do. i'm at the very beginning...

    Which year C5 to buy?

    corvettekyle, my search took about 5 months. it started as a search for 91, then a 94, then a 96 and finally i found the 98. since it was taking so long, my savings account was going up and i was able to end up with a c5...and i'm totally happy about that. don't get me wrong, i still...
