a4 with 3.42
having a a4 with a 3.42 i can tell you it is a significant difference in performance and gas mileage. I also installed supercharger and cam and rev kit so the car can go to 7k. it makes 525 to the wheels and traction is a problem. when you launch you are spinning and when you...
Supercharging
Have your system professionally installed. Make sure the business that is installing has done many successful installations on C5's. Make sure it is dyno tuned and use a safe tune. A safe tune is one that you can beat on it all day and nothing will get hurt. It may not be the...
what tires
I run Vredestein tires. Great handling tires, all around wet, dry and great lateral adhesion. Price is extremely reasonable. These are Dutch tires with excellent test scores when compared with many famous brands.
Selling my C5 Corvette wheels and tires. C6 Z06 Motorsport style rims size 17'9.5 front and 18"10.5 rears. rims have less than 500 miles. Tires are Vredestein Sessanta sizes 275/40/17 fronts and 295/35/18 rears. they have less than 2000 miles. reason for selling gifted new wheels and tires...
ls1 tick
Mine had that tick one time so I replaced the plug wires and plugs and it went away. I also put headers and after a while for some reason it began to tick again. then i added a new cam and supercharger with 600hp and cant hear any more ticking. I cannot tolerate ticking of any...
After Market REAL cold air intake
Vararam is tops. Not in dyno testing but real world quarter mile track results. The faster you go, the more wind resistance your car obviously gets is the same wind resistance ramming into your vararam dual inlets in front of your car. I also replace my MAF...
predator
My predator was bought in 2008. Not an old model. dont know why it did not work. I am going for a dyno tune now..dont want to play games anymore. there is nothing more frustrating than to think you have a tool that can do something and in the end it doesnt.
recently swapped out my 2.73 diff on my 2000 a4 to a 3.42. My predator was not able to make the software gear change for my auto trans so I had to call a tuner who used efilive to do it. he made the software change in the computer and I took the car for a drive while it still had the 2.73 diff...
I have a 2000 and the turn signal problem is the main hazard light switch is failing. Happens all the time. the switch is cheap but the dash practically has to come out to replace it. there is a company that sells a override device that can be plugged in and eliminate the turn signal problem...
like I said before. Better technology, better overall engine technology (aluminum), better handling,lower wind drag,much more room and comfort, smoother ride etc... space age frame technology that makes the c6/c6 easier to live with. I sold me c4 convertible because when my lincoln was in for...
why do you have to insult other corvette owners just to justify your piece of junk. I have had 6 corvettes c3, c4 and c5. I love them all but the c5 is a better car because of technology. my c5 will run with my old big block c3 no problem and with cold ac/ cruise/ heads up display/ etc... I...
I have owned 5 corvettes and 2 supercharged mustangs. My mustangs had 400 horse and the other one 1200 horse. When I would go to the corvette shows all over the country, bloomington 3 times, williamsburg ncrs meet and ncrs meets everywhere, the crowds were older and much more established family...
yes and it is super simple. a total of 3 screws and 3 boltsa and the whole thing comes out. you then take off the motor assembly and prey it open carefully and replace the gear. reverse the procedure. make very sure that the glue is dry and is hard before putting everything back together. edram454
Hello Hib,
I truly enjoy your write-ups and respect your knowledge in the Corvette technical arena. The (0) tells your cold viscosity and the (30) the the viscosity at "temp". Generally a thinner oil will net better gas mileage since it takes less effort for the engine to rotate it's mass...
yes, a full synthetic. go to there website and you will see the battery of test and oil comparisons Amsoil provides. When I had my 1200hp Mustang my engine builder only used Amsoil in his very expensive custom engines. He builds 6 second 2000+ hp engines....all with Amsoil. Amsoil has saved...
