It's the tires man! You need skinny hard tires to keep from loading those parts so much.:Silly Tom's can help you out some with that problem. I think that they offer a heavy duty replacement for every part in the rear driveline. Byond that it's time for a live axle.:hb Keep your forum...

I'm using the stock foam L-88 filter but others have adapted a K&N filter by using a foam spacer to insure a leak free fit. Yes, my car LOVES cold weather.

If I bought the hood from Eckler's I would have had to buy the air box seperatly and bond it on myself. The J.C. Whitney hood comes with the air box bonded on if you order the model with it. The fact that the price was hundreds of dollars cheaper may have figured in to the mix too. I...

My L-88 base fits both my Holley and the Q-jet, sorry I don't have an Edelbrock to check too. I got my L-88 hood from J.C. Whitney with the air box already installed. The rest of the pieces came from Paragon. Have you seen this site? http://www.corvetteforum.net/c3/mdsmith/l88.htm It was a...

I'm using a Holley 670 Street Avenger with an Edelbrock part number 8030 bracket. This bracket does not flex and mounts to the 2 rear intake manifold bolts. The bracket comes with 3 mounts for throttle and transmission cables. Each cable can be adjusted seperatly. You'll have to pick up the...

A true dual exhaust should be tops on your list. After that insure that you have all of the orignal air induction parts in place. The factory inlet system was really very good for getting cool air to the engine. If you just have to have more then spring for a pro to set your timing curve and...

I have read that if you have 10 PSI for every 1000 RPM you're OK. My 350 reads 20 PSI after warmup at idle and 30 PSI at 1000 RPM, again, when warm. On a cold start I have in excess of 60 PSI.

My stock pump puts out 4 PSI at idle and 5 PSI by 1000 RPM according to my pressure gage.

I agree, your's does look a bit short. My L-88 hood from J.C. Whitney fit very good in that area. My hood was a bit narrow and the side to side gap is a bit more than I would like.

Is there a reason for not letting the local shop provide the bushings that they are going to replace? I think that if you talk to them about the work that you want to have done and what parts you need you'll find that their prices can be competitive.

The delay is in the right rear storage compartment.

Check your vacuum readings at idle both in netural and in gear. I suspect that your vacuum is low in gear. I'm using the same camshaft and changed to a Holley because I couldn't see waiting on the mail to deliver new jets and rods all the time.

I'm sorry that I can't help you with which one's work and which don't but I have seen photos of angle plug heads with Hooker sidepipes that had more sparkplug room than my straight plug heads and others that didn't fit at all. The angle of the spark plug is not the same for every manufacturer's...

The air door at the top of the carb. over the rear throttle plates is controled by both vacuum and a spring. The vacuum works with a spring that is adjustable to control how early or late the air door opens. If the spring is adjusted too light the door will open too early and will cause a...

All 4 barrels should NOT be opening when you rev the engine in park. Your air door spring may be adjusted too light.

Slide the seat forward and use a socket and a long extension. I think it takes a 1/2 inch socket.

Look in the fenderwell. You'll see the bolts for the radiator shroud. Remove these bolts and slide the shroud forward. It should move about an inch. This is a very important inch. Good luck with it.

The Hooker sidepipes are 1 7/8ths inch diameter tube. I would think that you could find a welder to make a set of 1 3/4 inch header pipes about 3 inches long and then graft them to cut off Hookers. You'd have a set of torque step sidepipes!

Do a search for Snake Oyl Products. Yes, that is the correct spelling.

My only complaint with my L-88 hood is that I can't quite see the right front headlight when it's up. I like to verify that they both went up. You should have no problem with autocrossing with an L-88 hood.
