Your environment should definitely be taken into consideration. I live in an area that gets no rain for 6 months. Agriculture is big. So we have a lot of dust from plowing dry land.

Well it looks like superchargers may no longer be an option in California. New smog rules have outlawed custom tuning. I contacted A&A to see if their CARB approved supercharger is impacted by the...

I hit a deer at 75 mph with my 2015 resulting in $12K of damage. The car was never the same. I bit the bullet and traded it for a 17 at a significant loss. I consider myself to be lucky to have made...

Pre 75 cars are exempt from smog. From 75 to OBDII, cars have to pass a visual and a sniff test. OBDII and up was a check for codes. Now they've added the check for changes to the tune. Some counties...

Mostly correct. I purchased my C7 in Arizona and moved to California a year later (2019). No smog check was required and I'm on the 5 year plan. But it wasn't easy to get the car registered. The law...

I'm curious how this change in the law will effect CARB approvals for superchargers. Procharger and A&A provide tunes with their product. Obviously those tunes will not match the factory tune.

I have an 85 Corvette that will probably never see the road again because of smog laws. I replaced the tired 350 with a stroker 396 Super Ram, AFR heads and a Crower 221/230 cam and of course...

I've used Discount Tire for both my C7s. They will probably price match so you don't have to drop ship. I paid $1,256 out the door for Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3. It only took a couple days to get...

Why would I waste my time convincing you of something you already claimed to be true. This topic has been discussed on this forum for 7 years. I am not your search engine.

OK. So what's your point? The subject appears on other corvette forums and on other threads in this forum. You yourself said on another thread that it was normal.

A pop during shifting under full throttle is normal. The manual talks about it. The computer cuts the fuel for 100ms to allow the transmission to shift faster. I'm not sure why they cut the fuel but...

Once again you've demonstrated zero credibility. The review you cite did not test an Attack Blue filter. It tested an AFE 73-10062 diesel air filter. The design is not even similar. Not even the same...
