    Some tuning and exhaust questions

    OK so I have a 05 Mag Red Z51 6 speed. It has just turned 20k miles. Am thinking about moving up to Z06, but aside from the battery going dead I really love this car. If i keep it, Id like to do a few mods- I was told by a local LS motor tuner around here that I could get 25 HP with a...

    Question: Opinions on XM Radio?

    In 06 they gave you the perscription for a year- I listened to the comedy channels when I drove around, and then noticed it was the same loops being replayed. The little I used the car didnt justify the cost and I let it expire. I got solicitations seemed like every week thereafter to re up-...

    blower

    First i use the california blade, then leaf blower in all nooks and crannies and on tires and rims. With a blower the water "spiders" out a bit and i leave that cause it dampens the microfiber i use with the dpray detailer and leave a "spit" shine.

    Best tar remover?

    Man i would not use gas on a vettes paint. I used it on my Duramax's paint cause im a roofing contractor, and tar got everyehere, but unless use you use a tiny drop and get it off completley right now it leaves a trace, and ruins the paint. They used to sell this stuff called Lestoil, ("its so...

    Wax

    I have to admit, my selection of wax takes a bit more scientific approach. I have found thru years of research and analyis, the the bottle with some stuff left in it is the only way to get the best results.

    Gravel in the cracks

    Have noticed that myself and Im dammed ****ed. Today I will tackle that after much contemplation of how to remove without doing damage. Im thinking a plastic bondo applicator to slightly spread seam, then blowing out with compressed air.

    Armour All Or Not?

    I have found the the original factory finish on all interior panels can only be maintained by wiping the dash and plastic surfaces with a microfiber towel rinsed in spring water and wrung out almost dry. I mist a very tiny amount of some kind of interior vynal (never could spell vynal) cleaner...

    Wondering about moving up...

    Reading that other thread about steep discounts got me to thinking about trading up to a Z06. Only because I think my car is at that sweet spot where it is 2 years old with fairly low milage on it (about 15k) not a scratch on her and in perfect shape. However, if prices are discounted so...

    Engine oil capacity question

    Dom, its a tight squeeze and I have long arms but you can simply reach under the car to screw both the filter and drain nut off, and back on when your done, with the car just sitting on the ground. When done this way it is a slight PITA but Ive done it twice now no real big hassle and I know...

    Valve taps when cold

No stranger to motors, but just thought it a bit odd that this high tech (push rods) beast would tappity tap tap, but Stinger I believe your right the car does sit alot... C4C5 how many miles do these motors need to have before exhibiting the tick ? Mine has just over...
