John, Mine do the same thing. They are worn. Just aren't completely shot yet. Just replace them. Once in a while mine slips right down. Get your body inside there putting something in or taking it out and have the hatchback drop down and hit you in the back once. You'll be in a big hurry to...

I'm interested in doing the 315s also. My 92 has the 17x9.5 painted buzzsaw's all the way around with the 275s on them. I would like to keep the buzzsaw wheels (I like them better than the 5 spoke). Can I get the GS offset with 17x11 painted buzzsaw or do I have to get the black 5 spoke GS...

Does anyone know where I can get the split set. 1.6 intake / 1.5 exhaust. I was told that is a good mod on an LT1 and you do get a little HP improvement plus the benefit of rollers. I'm also curious that they did not mention changing the springs on the 1.6 side. As I recall a jump from 1.5 to...

Roy, You should see a difference. I went with 3.54 instead of 3.73 because I'm on the highway so much. I calculated a cost of about 150rpm at 75mph for 3.73 over 3.54. There is some error in the gauges versus pluggin the numbers into a formula. The formula tells me 75mph@2430rpm. When my tach...

How about the Race-Technology AP22. $250. Doesn't look too shabby with the listed features compared to G-Tech and way cheaper than a Vericom. Graham

92 auto w/3.54 gears. 17-18 in town. 20mpg highway commute (this is mainly what i do). That is running about 2500rpm / 72-74mph on average. If you're running 80mph with those 3.73 gears that's where your gas mileage is going... I've noticed mine gets a fair bit more thirsty running 75-85mph...

Rich, I just had mine aligned at Firestone. I brought in specs that I got from VBP website for spirited street driving. They told me it is a Firestone company policy that they will not set your car to anything other than factory specs for liability reasons. I got the same song and dance from a...

Count me in on the SZ50 too! My92 had the GSCs on them when I got it. I can sum my opinion of Goodyear up in 1 word... Not only do the SZ50s outperform the GSC in dry and wet. But they last longer and give a much nicer all around ride. And they cost less money! We've also had new car, minivan...

Well I told her that the $14K number she came up with probably won't fly based on the year of the car and the market. She will probably put it on ebay and for sale in a few places. Her and her husband both bought Vettes. 76 and 99. They're not really into the Vette culture they just like the...

Thanks for the feedback guys. Yeah that is shocking. I'm not sure I want to tell her how far off she is. Apparently her husband used one of those books Chris is reffering too. I thought $14K might be fairly high. But half of that. Wow! Graham

Try this link. He has a speedo gear calculator. http://www.bgsoflex.com/speedo1.html And this link. The math is explained. http://www.chevytalk.com/tech/transmission/calibrate.html I think you'll find that with 4.11 gears it will be hard getting the drive/driven gears to make it right. But...

Hey folks. I own a C4 so I wasn't much help with a friend trying to figure out what her C3 is worth. So I was kinda hoping you C3 owners might help me with a number here. The details I have so far are this: 1976 corvette, auto trans, 31,000 original miles, 2 owners since new. Mechanically in...

This is a known problem. And my passenger door does it to. I tried using velcro on the back and some and a few other bright ideas. None worked that well. I'm going to check the screws on the bottom. My panel does seem to sit too high. But it also looks like it is warped. There is a TSB from the...

Just checked mine today. 5lbs. A tad low. Filled it up. Also found a ton of dirt stored in there and what looked like a retired birds nest! Well after cleaning the whole thing up I now have a working spare and shaved a few pounds off the car... Graham

If you're going with the 3.54 gears then just get the parts I listed. If they don't fit in your car I'll be really surprised. Even though you say you have a 4L60 I'll bet the tail housing is the same as a 700R4 and the speedo gears will be fine. Same for the VSS module. Expect your speedo to be...

I can't say for sure that the 700R4 and 4L60 use the same parts but they should. What I found out when I got the cross reference for speedo gears was that you are actually taking speedo gears (drive/driven) from a manual transmission. Because an auto trans car was never offered with 3.54 or 3.75...

We only need the rear plate here so I get to keep my Vette cover. Even better, for those of you who can leave it on. You can't really see the Corvette embossed logo that well. I took mine off and had my wife (steady hand from painting arts and crafts) paint inside the letters. Cover is red. Now...

yeah exactly! when i took my factory breather off and saw how it got air and how small it was i was very surprised and bummed. given the tight quarters in there i guess that is the only way they could grab air. i ripped it out and installed an SLP system with the K&N filters. major breathing...

fordnomore, i just responded to your vms4evr post about the speedo parts. jstkrsn, yeah the tail housing comes off. but not a big deal with the car on a lift and the whole ass end, drive shaft and exhaust removed. it's a minor part of the job. all the time on mine was spent getting the gears...

Yes those are GM part numbers. You should be able to get them easily at your local dealer or order from GM direct. The speed sensor install just goes in the side of the tranny and is not a big deal. The drive and driven gear require you to take off the tail housing. Considering you'll have the...
