    Cure for black paint scratches....

    For the small hairline scratch, use one of the watery liquid type roller tip pens from an office supply store. I used the pilot G-2 07 pen and it worked perfectly. Of course, I don't know the longevity of the fix as yet but it looks good for now.

    Multi-car Insurance discounts....

    Anyone found a company that gives a good discount for multiple vehicles? I have two pickups, two corvettes and a recently restored mercedes SL for which I am paying simply way too much insurance. I am the only driver. Why should I pay a token discount that really does not amount to much savings...

    Scanning question please.....

    I am in need of a scanning program for my LT4 and '03 Z06 since I currently just have the LT1 edit tuner for the LT4. Also, I'll need a tuning program for the Z06. Is there a package combination out there that will scan LT4 and Z06 plus flash the Z06? thanks for all suggestions.

    Trick for changing half shaft U-joints....

    To spread the spindle assemblies apart, I used a 3/8 x 44" pipe with an eyebolt stuck in each end. The eyebolts need about 6" of threads. I bought mine at Tractor Supply. I connected them to the bottom knuckle of each spindle where the arm was attached and used a nut on each eyebolt to spread...

    Dyno numbers for my stock '03 Z06

    Best pull of 4 for a stock Z06 with 21K miles was 347.6HP/333.8 Torque. Owner of shop has a '02 Z06 and he saw the same for his. I read an article last year that posted the same numbers for their stock Z. Anyone that professes higher numbers for a stock Z, I really would need to see it for...

    LT4 lt4 tuning and dyno getogether day.....

    How many would be inerested in getting together at a dyno for a day of lt1 edit tuning on lt4's? I think it would be more beneficial for several cars to try a common tune that works with similar mods. No need for all of us to re-invent the wheel in our tuning efforts. Anyone interested?

    Mistake in Corvette Fever Article?

    On page 93, Dec. issue, it is stated that stock LT4 RPM at 70 in 6th should be 1200. Personally, mine runs around 17-1800. How about you guys? AFAIK, my rear end is stock gearing.

    Hot Cam emissions update...

    I just got back from testing here in Rutherford County. The kid plugged the jack into the OBD2 receptacle to check for codes. After 1000 miles since installation and running on Corsas with stock programming, I am happy to report I passed just fine. As I drove off the kid said,"I sure like the...

    Fuel injector cleaners in OBD2 cars (1996)

    The sequential injector bodies are bathed in raw gas for cooling purposes and cleaners can destroy protective coating on coil wiring and destroy injectors. This problem is only encountered on 1996 (OBD2) and up from my understanding. Use the stuff only sparingly. I might add that I have used...

    throttle body sticking?...

    I have a question for those that might have/or are experiencing this; it seems that there is a 'catch' sometimes when pressing the accelerator from the idle position. Not very pronounced but nevertheless it is detectable. I tried to remove the cover at the ASR but that doesn't seem to be a very...
