Boy it's been a long time since I have been on here. I got my old girl out last year and she required a new opti. Installed an MSD. Runs great cold but when warmed up the idle goes so low she stalls. Anyone have any ideas ?? thanks Fred

Went to the drags yesterday for the last kick at the cat before I put her away and had a great time and also great times. 60' 1.807 1/8 7.887 1/4 12.269 MPH 115.47 The only thing about the goods numbers is that you want more now that you are so close to the 11's. Saw three 6 speeds...

Just got back from the track. Great weather and lots of runs. Got a new best of 12.7 at 112. My 60's were in the high 1.9's. I figure with DR's and taking out the front sway bar I should be low to mid 12's. Fred

Well us Ontario Canada boys finally got together for a track day. After a long winter of installing TPIS AFR heads, ZZ9 cam, Pro magnum 1.6RR's, EM headers, bullet cats, Alvin tune and more goddies than I can remember I was a little dissapointed with my times. Best of 12.82 at 111 and a 60' of...

Took my baby out for the first time this weekend, what a smokeshow. Over the winter I added 3.54, TPIS AFR heads, Comp Cam 1.6rr's, ZZ9 cam, EM headers, Magnaflow bullet cats and a tune from Alvin. Man is it fast, it used to spin a little going into 2nd but now it goes sideways. I can hardly...

I am in the finishing stages of my head and cam swap and I need some pictures to finish the job. Does someone have a closeup of an LT1 vacuum lines on the drivers side and the little dohicky with the small coolant line that is under the throttle body. Thanks Fred

Does anyone have any shots of LT1 valve covers that have been trimmed to accomodate 1.6RR's Thanks Fred

Today I am finally ready to install my new AFR heads and I have a question. What is the easiest way to install the rear crossover tube that attaches to the rear of the heads. Thanks Fred

Well next week I start my cam and heads swap. Can I jack the front of the car on the crossmember under the engine, or do I have to do a side at a time. Thanks Fred

My AFR heads and ZZ9 cam and RR have just crossed the border. I have searched for a cam install in an LT1 but cannot located the thread that I read in the past. Any suggestions. I have been quoted $1500 as a winter project to do my install but I am tempted to try it myself. The last cam install...

I picked up a new opti at Carlisle, it was half the price a dealer wanted up here in Canada. Now I am looking for ideas for a timing set and a mechanical water pump. Any suggestions. Lunati cheap $170.00 or Comp cams $500.00 or a TPIS for $410.00. Are the AC Delco water pumps any good ...

I have been looking at the TPIS ZZ409 cam, it is not quite as aggressive as the LT4 Hotcam. Has either cam passed emmisions for anyone ??? Thanks Fred

Went to the drags on the weekend and my quickest after the 3.54 gears was 13.7, I was hoping for a 13.5. I beat an STi 4 out of 5 runs and they are AWD and 300hp. I ran a late 90's Stang with a very nice sounding cam and beat him all 4 runs. I ran about 14 times and only lost once, so not a bad...

Just installed my new intake a got a piece of hose to attach to the A.I.R. pump supply. Mine is a 93 and there was no hose going to the original air filter box. According to the Haynes it should be directed to the air filter. What gives ???? Thanks, Fred

I am planning on changing my gears from 2.59 to 3.54. Does the computer have to be modified after this gear change or will it shift as before ? Thanks Fred

Well last night I made it to the track for the first time in my Vette. First run pulled a 14 flat, I was quite happy. I couldn't duplicate it but I came very close. Left it in auto for the best times, it shifts right a redline. I ran 25 lbs in the rear tires and man was it ever hooked. Had a...

Does anyone run the TPIS ZZ409 cam and pass emissions ? Is it neccesary to lift engine to do a cam swap in a 93 ? Thanks

Just received my adj. fuel pressure regulator. Got the Haynes out and they said the LT1 requires a special fuel line quick disconnect tool. Has anyone done this job without the tool. Thanks, Fred

Drove my Vette to work on Friday, I only take it once a week. Heard lot's of cooool car. Our plant emloys around 5000 thousand, one person who I have seen but not talked to said he was not a car nut but loved the 93. His son is 4 years old and loves Vettes. The boy's mother wrote GM and told...
