Greetings from Texas...

Welcome to the CAC Pier!

It looks like you will not need any suggestions for more horse power from us. :L

Post some pictures when you figure out how to... it only took me a year! And believe me... your English is much better than our Italian.

Ciao... Brian

 

[Strokerone]

Thanks!
...only a small question.... how can I place pics in the post and in my prifile?
I'm not bad with "pistond and rods"....but computers (unless are not for ECU programming) are my ennemys !
I would like to place some pics of my engine and my car.....

welcome to CAC cool car since I want to see some pictures here is one way to do it but remember the pictures should be low resoulotion for the dial-up guys or "e-mail size" around 320x240 or 16k is what I use.



To post pictures so they show up in your post first you need to have the pictures on the web I use a photo hosting service:
http://www.villagephotos.com/index.asp
is one of many. Click on the IMG button in the area above where you type your posting Then you copy the URL of the photo to the Dialog box (be sure there is only one http) by using the links under the photos in blue, just click where it says "copy URL to clipboard" in blue.

Your picture should show up in your post like this

you can also use the "manage attachments" box below the text entering area to upload from your computer like this

Good luck
Craig sr.

[Strokerone]

Ciao Veronica,
il tuo Italiano è perfetto!....complimenti!!!
Sarò sempre disponibile per ogni tipo di aiuto di cui avrai bisogno..... contaci.

For Olouieo.... it is impossible to see the picture.... try again...thanks!
The hood of your Vette.... is a diy "special release"???..... something like that will help a lot to keep a healty temperature in the engine bay.... very cool !
Looks like some "evolution" of a "turbo-jet" C2 hood...right?

Thanks again to everybody for the nice welcome
