hello all. have found a ton of usuefull info here as i am a proud new owner of a 1999 Corvette and loving every second of it. but i have a odd assortment of questions i cant seem to find the answer to so i was hoping someone could help.
1. Tire roar. OMG the stock goodyear tires are so loud at about 70 it sounds like the cars gonna explode. at first i thought something was wrong with the rear but after some testing nope was just the tires screaming. so i know non-runflats are much quieter but for the peice of mind, whats some good perfoming run flats that dont sound like a tracker going down the road?
2. Pedal lag. im used to muscle cars that i build, so power usually comes on linearly, but this dbw peddle makes it unpredictable. seems half way in is like gas milage mode as its very slow then about half way in it suddenly rockets off like a scold dog.
ive seen in-line plug in peddle gizmos that suppossedly make it more linear and predictable. but was wonder do they work? and what about a power programmer? will the programmer make the gas peddle act like a normal one or do i need both?
3. im getting a borla exhoust, was wondering about the intermediate x-pipe. i think corsa and magnaflow make ones with high flow cats (strict emmisiions here in maryland) but should i run the oxygen sencors in the back or ive seen dumby O2's but not sure why run those instead of just the reg O2 itself? and who makes some good intermediate pipes. i saw borla also makes them but theres no cats on them.
4. sorry so many questions in one post. Ramps. is race ramps pretty much the only thing low enuf to actually get our cars on? i measured like the site says to and im not even sure the 72" ones will work. there pretty expensive (i know i own a vette get used to it right...)
5. anyone know where the build sheet might be hiding in the car? i saw one post that said its under the re-bar? wtf is that?
6. and i think lastly, the driving light. wow these are totaly useless. what is the point of driving lights that only light up 10' in front of you? i am hoping maybe mine are just out of adjustment maybe? if not are there any REAL driving lights that are direct replacment or close to it?
thx for any answers. I've already fixed my rocking seats, cleared my cow utters, fixed my pcv valve oil problem, and changed to an optima battery after reading several post here!
