Mad-Mic
Gone but not forgotten
it was nice out with no rain (finally but it did spit alittle later on 
) I simple greened the engine bay and cleaned that up and was gonna wax her also but that will have to wait till tomorrow if it doesn't rain. I'm trying to get her ready for the ocean sat and sun but they are calling for possible showers though oh well still will take her 
well while i had the hood up i decided to take a look at the air filter lid and said hmmm i think i'll cut it open. got my trusty tin snips out and started cutting. dang this isn't working at all! busted out the jigsaw. after 3 blades later it's done. nice and clean all the way around till almost the flat part of the lid. nice and open pulled the plastic part off that the lid bolts to and decided to clean that out and found some water in it from washing the engine off. not much and the filter was clean and dry still. so looking at the MAF i decided hmmm let me take a look at that and see if i feel comfortable cutting the screens. took it off and decided to get my trusty razor knife out and start cutting. nice and clean no screens! looked at my thottle body to see if it was dirty at all and it was clean. also realized my vette wasn't a Virgin stock beauty as i thought she was! she had an air foil already bolted to the throttle body!
well i guess 2 free mods and finding another isn't bad for 20 mins worth of work!
took her out for a spin to see if i could feel alittle more pull. she seems to pull alittle more from 3000 rpm to 5000 rpm pretty steady! i am pretty happy with that! took her down rt 10 and stepped on it to air her out and hit 120 pretty easy and she still was sucking hard for some more! :eek
all in all i'm pretty happy with it. i still gotta do the TB bypass yet. since i only got about 20k in miles left on my warrenty and everything seems sound i think she's ready for some other mods. i am gonna put a cam in her and 1.6 rr's if they will fit under the stock valve covers. anyone know if this is possible? then muffler eliminators and a trans go shift kit with a 2800 rpm stall and my hayden tranny cooler. Also want to add a fuel pressure regulator and custom chip. i think with these mods i can get an extra 75 hp and dip down to low to mid 13's. then when winter time comes maybe a new intake or just port polish and seimese my stock one.
i don't want to get too wild with my vette (yet) cause i still got to finish my LT-1 conversion 82 Z/28 all this and i'm trying to find a way to buy another vette! a nice ZR-1 or Callaway in the fall/winter would be nice!
we shall see
which cam should i go with for a stock lower end L98? i 'd like a nice loopy sounding cam kinda like a rhhut rhhhut that makes awesome power from 2800-5500 rpm or so
