    Can I get lowering advice using shims?

    I lowered mine back in 2005 and I used the wedges, and moved all the shims from the top of the spring to the bottom (sounds wrong but it lowers the car by making top of spring closer to the crossmember, I also cut the pads off the end of the springs which probably added at least a 1/2' to the...

    Help! modifying a 1994 Corvette LT1 need a timing chain cover without the water pump/distributor hole

    I still run EFI and an opti but I did an EWP conversion and I sealed my water pump drive with a freeze plug. Since you have 94 the GM Opti conversion plug won't fit but it should be easy to plug the Opti drive hole too. (GM performance parts made a plug but its only available for 95-96...

    W. T. F.!! $998.00 !!!

    1955-1991 SBC pumps are a different animal than the 1992-1997 LT1 pump. However, your's should have been much easier to replace. Donnie 998 wouldn't be out of line for a GM LT1 waterpump, OPTI and labor. MIke

    Occasional Idle Air Control problem???

    Have cleaned the IAC and Throttle body. The IAC may be sticking, or the passages carboned up. If they are clean you may need a new IAC. Mike

    Does a 84-96 C4 handle better than a similar equipped C5?

    wow this thread is a blast from the past..... Now that the C5s and even the C6s (which didn't exist when this thread was written) have some years on them the C4 is no longer the bang for the performance buck it was when this threade was current. Mike
