    Nitrous to a LS3

    Numerous articles I have read indicate a 100hp shot is "safe". Note that you MUST properly dial in the correct fuel mixture and retard the timing. To be totally safe at 100 and go any higher you will need to gap your piston rings wider and beef up the bottom end to accommodate the greater heat...

    Traction Control

    Depending on the amount of acceleration you are taking: 1 If you are getting wheelspin then the TC is working correctly. This can often occur when turning a corner and accelerating hard. 2 It will also set if your tires are a significantly different diameter. 3 If there is an intermittent...

    Help! Dic service ride control

    Did the shocks all leak at once or was there an event that damaged them? I am not familiar with the suspension, but many "plugs" that bypass features such as CAGS are simply resistors that simulate the load the missing components would "look like' to the computer. Now the first rule in...

    No Fuel

    Check fuel pressure, if it slowly drops it could be a clogged fuel strainer on the pump, a clogged fuel filter, or a bad pump. The fuel pump is a snap to replace on C4's. Here is what a clogged strainer looks like: If the pressure is OK then drops rapidly, it could be the oil pressure sender...

    Help! fiberglas damage on front fender

    Your car is not made of the old fiberglass, but Sheet Molded Composite- It's close to fiberglass but you will want to get the right stuff for it. A DIY bodge job will be fine for sealing up cracks in the floor pan, but you probably will not be happy with the results in visible areas.

    '07 Driver selection changes to #2 occasionally

    While driving with fob #1, the car will change over to Driver 2 which is annoying. It has never changed back to driver #1 by itself. Pressing the driver #1 button on the door will usually set things right, but it will occasionally change right back to #2 or not change to #1 at all. This seems to...

    Help! 84 vette engine noise

    RE; The actual mileage: The odometer motor seizes up in the dash module. See if the odo actually changes when you drive it. As to the sound, is it a knocking (bad) or a clicking (not so bad) or a light "tikka tikka tac tikka" sound? (normal for the fuel injectors-they have a rhythm at idle) You...

    Important! Supercharger for 2010 C6 auto

    I have a '07 with an East coast supercharging kit. It dynoed at 558 RWHP. The previous owner had it installed at Wongs performance engineering in Washington. I have driven this for two years and it is still a blast. It will break loose the rear tires in 3rd gear at 4000 RPM/65MPH and I have to...
