Edmond, your not talking about a turbo and a carb in the same sentance are you? ;LOL ;LOL ;LOL :beer Grant

Other options maybe? Not sure if I agree with all thats been said about boost, but its in the right direction. Precise turbo charging is a rather more complex subject than can be dealt with in a chat room forum such as this, but there are options for you. If you want learn from a real expert...

Looking Good Well TT I cant wait to see this completed. It will be a weapon for sure!!! :beer Grant

Hey Zacch Thanks for the info............ Have had a look at those and other publications before (corvette performance projects 1968-82 is quite good), and although good referance material, Im looking for more hardcore development improvements and a cohesive build program with a known result. I...

This may be wishful thinking............but.... Do any of you know of ..... or heard of a book ....... or referance publication that could be purchased (avalible to the public now) with indepth step by step racing or developmental improvement programs for the C3 corvette owner, covering all...

Just a guess, but it would seem you have an after market bar (bumper) that hasnt been totally finished. It may have been moulded solid to ease production pull from the mould, or to cut out grilles etc after transportation, but prior to fitting & painting. The person fitting it may have not...

Another option I have wired all our cars with the male DC plug up by the rear view mirror with direct 12v supply, (fused of course), and just swap the detector between the cars as required. Keeps the lighter unit free, guaranteed to receive the 12v DC current and looks a lot tidier than the...

Why? Hey Kyle If you get a reputable brand of header, the fitting issues should be less, but its still very tight under there. I have Headman Headers and the collectors are very close to the tranny, having said that, its a 700R, so i dont know if that makes it worse. For durable headers...

A wise man Well done!!! and congradulations on the new engine, you must be very happy with that! I couldnt agree with you more on the dyno run in procedure, have had a few engines done this way and all results were always great, and in the long run can be less expensive and definately less...

Would love too! But the resultant divorce would cost way more than the car!!!;LOL;LOL;LOL :beer Grant

Sorry to hear about your screen. Does insurance cover your replacement? Not sure how insurance works there, but here you can get windscreen cover for an additional $30 - $40 a year, and it means all glass is replaced without excess or loss of no claims bonus. Might not help this time, but...

Corvette Club Members need to remember their start Hey All I identify with some of the comments that some have been made,and have has similar issues with Corvette Clubs in New Zealand. I am generally not one to be shy! (some of you.... just may have guessed!), that said I was extremely...

Horses for Courses I guess it depends what your looking for?, a highway cruiser or a quick sports car ;shrug A 3.73/700R still cruises @ 1950rpm @ 60mph with a 255/60/15 rear, as opposed to 1457rpm for stock 2.78/700R (so 500 rpm) & 1730rpm for 3.15/700R, so really not a lot in it. On our...

Hey Sensei My L81 has the stock 2.78 rear end, and a 700R tranny added. It's hardly standard engine, puts out reasonable power, but the result of this gearing can be described in one word = SLOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!. It wont even keep up with my 3 litre Lexus or the wife's 1600cc VTec Honda, and at...

Got it??????????????? Thanks TT I got it now (I think?) Well at least on the same page! ;LOL. I also have downloaded and read through the Greenwood VIP (vette improvement program) for IRS Vettes on corvette.faq. Which has also highlighted the toe out result of suspension movement, as you...

Hey TT Firstly let me say, Im very very impressed with your designs - WOW! and the CAD drawings to boot, very clever and methodical, a great combination! What software are you using? I supposed you have a vested interest in this level of specific design and engineering, as with that...

C3 Frame Dimensions Hey socor7 Firstly sorry to hear about the damage. :( Secondly, attached C3 frame dimensions for you to check on yours. You will have to get it on a hoist to get to some of the pickup points, but it may give you an idea. http://www.corvettefaq.com/c3/C3FrameDim.jpg...
