Head Work If I pull the heads to replace the gaskets, are the stock heads worth machining? I am also wondering if I should go with 1.5 rockers?

Plan B I guess I will have to settle for a set of AFR Heads and a cam and hope AFR is close with their 80 added horsepower claim. Although my motor only has 20k miles on it so it might handle a low boost supercharger before exploding. I'm so confused. Lee

I have a 1989 with the L98 motor. Can anybody tell me if the bottom end can handle supercharging and if so, how much boost. :confused

Tire Shreader Boomdriver, I am with you on the tire shreader, I love doing it now with the awesome torque of my C4 but I want horsepower. I was running down the highway and a new SS Trailblazer was running right with me. It wasn't a good feeling until I got home and googled the SS and found out...

Supercharger Yeah, I know you only get what pay for so I am definetly looking for a used one.

Turbo or not I am with Boomdriver, first chance I can get my hands on a supercharger, I am installing. I just don't want to spend 3k. Hopefully I can find one for about 1,500. Good luck on whatever you do. Lee

The install would have went better if we fit tested the pipe on the garage floor. One of the Headers wouldn't accept the mating pipe because I believe the Ceramic coating was a little thick so we had to sand some off. The directions were good but I would add some info that wasn't included. If...

Exhaust Installed OK guys and gals, the new Melrose exhaust system is in. It was an all day job but it sounds great and feels like it pulls good at the top end. The system consists of Long Tue Headers, X-Pipe, High Flow Converters and I purchased and installed Borla Mufflers. When I have a...

I have the book and my page 28 is fine. It contains 3 pictures with captions. I will scan the page at work tomorrow and e-mail it to you. I purchased my copy at Barnes & Noble. Lee

Reply I hope your wrong about the 5 horsepower. The 236 RWHP is actual uncorrected. The Melrose exhaust are Long Tube Headers, X-pipe, and free flowing converters. I hope I get more then 5 horsepower but the dyno (ego-buster) doesn't lie. I paid $1,400 for the Headers to the mufflers and $450...

OK guys, any day now now my new Melrose Exhaust will be here and I will be installing it soon after the return of my vacation (July 6th). I will also install Borla Mufflers. Can anybody tell me what I have to look forward too? I will let everybody know how it goes. I also plan on having another...

DYNO RESULTS OK people, I ran my car on the dyno today (4/4/09) with the following results from the two pulls: Dyno Run 1 - Max Power = 233.12 rwhp, Max Torque = 300.76 Dyno Run 2 - Max Power = 236.09 rwhp, Max Torque = 297.84 It just goes to show you that the numbers posted by manufacturers...

Dyno I have to call back Friday to see if I can make three pulls on Saturday and then see what the next modification will be. I am going to Welcome to Anderson Performance Automotive! , check out their web site, they have a buick grand national going 7.25. WOW! If they can get me in Saturday, I...

Dyno I am checking into local dyno houses now. (@ $100.00 per hour). I know I am not blowing the doors off anything I would just like to know that I have improved the car some. Thanks, Lee

So True It's funny you say that because I was kidding with my wife the other day about where I should put all the stickers. She told me that if I put any stickers on the car she wouldn't ride in it anymore. Is that a good thing or a bad thing???? Lee

Exhaust Mods or Lack Of Hey Vetteoz, You are absolutly right, I have not made any exhaust mods. It depends what you read and who writes it. Some places I have read that the L98 exhaust is better then the LT1 and other places I read says I can get an extra 50 horses with an exhaust system. I do...

Hey Bucket, I have not ran my car in the 1/4 yet but when I do I will do the math you suggested. As far as the rammer, it looks and sounds great but as far as performance, I don't have any numbers. It has to be better then the stock unit. I also installed the power coupler which is no more then...

I have searched everywhere for a program or something that would assist me with calculating bolt on horsepower. I know if I did find something, it wouldn't be real accurate but I would like to find something to get me in the ballpark. As you can see from my profile and signature, I have some...

Crazy Man Paul, Like you said, if you are going to be obsessed about something, at least make it something legal. Well so much for the legal part, I'm sure the speedo has seen some 55+ runs. Your car is probably better then when it rolled off the assembly line. I love my vette too. Just saying...

Wow, that sounds like a lot of work. I would just buy a nice lamenated one from NCM.
