In looking at the specs between a L-48 and L-82 there is a significant difference. I spoke with CompCams and they recommended the "Extreme Energy XE262H cam that would work well with my stock rear, trans, exhaust etc. In just doing the cam we're looking at keeping the cost under $150. Adding the...

For an easy Poor Man's fix a cam will add about 20HP. Right?

Okay, I can see there is quite a difference between the 1979 L-48 & L-82. What about the 1975 year. Is is it the same as 79??

So, the poor man's answer would be to change out the cam and mill the heads????

It looks to me that the L-48 and L-82 are identical except for compression ratio. What is the poor man's answer to increasing the horsepower on a L-48. At mininum milling the heads will make it a L-82 or do I need to do more?

Thanks very much. I'm going to give that a try and let you know.

Yes I did this morning. It is the upper control arm bushings.

Oh @#$%! Perhaps I didn't for the lower but I'm pretty sure I did for the top bushing. Regardless, its done and the car has settled. Are you suggesting that I loosen and retighten the nots on the bushing?

Thanks for the input. That was my thought on WD-40 as well. I just purchased some heavy duty Silcone and will try that this weekend to see what happens.

No, I used good-ole rubber bushings that were pressed in and Im sure there not twisting.

I recently rebuit the entire front end and now I've developed a squeak that won't go away. I've sprayed WD-40 on it and was told that's not a great idea b/c of the rubber bushings. Any ideas on what to do and what product I should use?

I know where the coupler joint is. My main concern was how to test it for wear. Thanks for the advice.

Okay don't laugh at me for asking. What are the signs of a worn-out Rag Joint?

GREAT STUFF!!!!

Contact Gus at Corvette Central, tell him that I referred you. They have got the best system for the price that I found. For $319 you get all the pipes, Magnaflow mufflers, hangers (except rear) and clamps. The sound is great (not overwhelming) and I noticed a significant increase in power...

Help! Differential Noise. Thanks for the advice everyone. I went to my Chevrolet dealer this morning bought some lube and additive just as the above forum recommended. I left to go to NAPA to get a pump to remove the old lube. I just happened to run into the representative from BG while at the...

Holly Crap - what did I start? Okay boys and girls, the system has been for a week now and I hear what you're saying about the low end torque situation, but I will tell you that I can definitely feel the difference in performance both off the line and on the road. I love my new pipes.

I did change the differential fluid and replaced it with a synthetic product. The chattering problem existed before and after the lube change. In researching this problem in our forum it was recommended that I use the following: BG LSII Limited Slip Axle Additive ConcentrateBG LSII is designed...

My 75 has a chattering feeling and sound from the differential when I make a left or right turn from a dead stop. The chattering goes away once the car is on its way down the road. The Vette is an off the shelf L48 with nothing performance special about it. Can you help me please. Ken

Steering Looseness - Update In checking with Chevrolet manual for loose steering it says to start with the power steering pump and check belt tension. Yes, that was the problem. The adjusting screw was loose and allowed the pump to work intermittently and especially on the highway when changing...
