My 96 suffers from the same problem, the cooling fans are lazy, and most times won't come on until 230. Once, when I suffered a coolant leak, they kicked on at 250 (and ran for 2 seconds while I ran from under the hood to the ignition to turn off the key). So I've ordered myself a hypertech...

I believe its for every 10 degree drop, you get 1% increase in power.......10% for every degree seems too good to be true.

To answer your questions, as best that I can. #1 I didn't dyno my LT4 bone stock, but they average about 280-290 hp at the rear wheels in stock form. With only flowmasters exhaust system for mods, I dynoed 305 to the rear wheels. In that form, it ran 12.9 @ 109 on reg. radials. #2 Since...

Is the C5 targa top much larger than a C4 top? I found that once I got used to the proper way of doing it, taking off my 96 top is easily done single-handedly. I've seen it done on newer ones using two people, but I've never compared the two.

Coupes the way to go for sports cars. I'm a racing man, and verts are heavier and normally need modifications (roll bars, chassis stiffener) to be able to race. IMO.....a roll bar on a convertible with the top down looks as ugly as purple on pink. To me, convertible vettes are in the same...

The lingenfelter ones for the LT1/LT4 are shorties anyway. I'm going with TPiS. Lingenfelter does have an L98 long tube header, and I've been told this will work on an LT1/LT4 car, with a fabiricated exhaust from the header back, but its no bolt-up. TPiS systems offer a complete full header and...

I'm on my first corvette, a 96 LT4 coupe. Its not a loud car, in fact with the new weatherstripping I put in (new windshied due to crack) its very quiet. The ride isn't cadillac quality, its performance quality. Its semi-smooth, and it handles great and gets me out of trouble on the highway very...

Yes, it is the Bose gold edition AF/FM/Cassette/CD factory stereo.

I have a Bose gold AMFM cassette CD that I took out of my 96 vette. I have no need for it......interested?

That is without the traction control on. I always turn it off for drag racing, cause it bogs you down. I do about a 4 second burnout to clean off the tires, and quickly get up to the staging lights. Once staged, I bring the revs up to about 3000 rpms. When I'm ready to go (about the 3rd amber...

I use Potanza s02s.........and I turn 1.98 to 2.01 60 foot times with a very short burnout, and they do great in the rain. 285/40/ZR17s

1000CFM MAF? big one........is the screen gone? I descreened my MAF. Those screens suck for air flow. With just the flomasters and the screen gone, my LT4 got 306 hp to the wheels. Is your LS1 an automatic?

Well, being that its winter at the moment, and I have had no problems with it........no. It gets pretty cold here as well, since I'm right by the Chesapeake Bay. It got down below freezing last night in fact. My garden hose was frozen, and the kbob was stuck shut, but my car started right up...

As for Flowmasters, they do sound great, and add a good amount of power for an exhaust system, but for those who are concerned about looks (and most corvette owners are) the non-stainless tailpipes don't look as good out back as a nice shiny set of stainless tips do. Plus, I live in a very humid...

I recently ordered the "throttle body coolant bypass" and discovered it to be a waste. #1 it didn't fit right (one side was too large to fit either hose end) #2 the modification didn't require any kit at all. The hose that runs from the area at the top/right of the radiator over to the left side...

Friend of mine asked me a question I couldn't answer. He's a got a 6 speed in his C4, and the car shakes a bit when he slips the clutch to start off (like from a stoplight). He either has to really goose it, or not use any gas when he starts off to not shake. Sounded odd to me, any ideas?

I have headlights that are very moody on my 96. The left one will work most of the time, the right one never works. When I spit the lines and run both off the left wires, they open half way. Currently I have both sides cut and am operating them manually. Do I need new motors? Are the gears...

I have a 96 LT4 Coupe as a daily driver that I want to use for an occasional trip to the track/road circuit. I've got some pretty good aftermarket brakes on there, but I don't know about the fluid. Is racing brake fluid bad for street use? If it is, I'd like some opinions on how well DOT4 rated...

You're complaining about the pop and gurgle? I've always thought it sounded meaner when you are downshifting and hear a nice gurgle and a few pops. Loud=Good (thats why no cats are better than any cat system, no matter how much flow they claim)

New owner of a 96 LT4, and I want to put long tube headers and flowmasters on my car, which is going to be catalytic converter delete (I always gut them anyway). I know Doug Rippie offers them, does anyone else? If anyone knows how hard they are going to be to put on , please let me know. I can...
