i didn't even read what you wrote at the bottom and saved as so i could enlarge the pic and i seen your vette :upthumbs


congrats man! that is cool!

so what did it pull?
Well, The ignition was causing problems on the dyno computer so he could not get any torque readings but RWHP is around 330.. I did find a bad ignition module that night after the pulls and have not dyno'ed it since.

Intake is the MINIRAM with a 52mm TB.

As for torque I would guess between 340-350rwtq

tpis question

I looked at your car domain pictures and then e-mailed tpis to see if they have the long tubes for an 88. I just got a reply that there may be a bracket under the car that could cause clearance problem. Did you have to make any adjustments to get your headers on? I thought the 87 and 88 cars were the same. What did you do with your egr? Thanks.

My Grand Sport is supposedly in the December issue, but I can't seem to find one on newstands yet. Looks like the only people that have seen the issue are subscribers. :(

I'd like to know if the car looks filthy and I come off like a doofus. :)

deleted the EGR but then again i'm not worried about emissions. the headers were a nice fit and had no problems with any brackets that i can remember of.

you can't really see the actual fit but these give you an idea.

I don't know, Jeff, since I haven't seen the article yet. My plate is "PP LE PEU" and I heard they captured a shot of the plate.
 
Your GS looks pretty sweet!!! I didn't see no filthy looking car anywhere!! And I'm pretty sure I saw your car in Bowling Green last summer at the 50th Ann. Celebration. I remember that plate....PP LE PEU. Ill have to look through my pictures....might a shot of yours.:D
