Re: 94-96 LT1 Granatelli MAF for sale (longhorn_C4)

Never dynoed, but I do remember that when I went to WOT, the car had a tendancy to chirp the tires during the 2-3rd shift I think, which it did not do before I installed the granatelli. So I did...

Do I need to replace my Airbag cover?

About a month ago when I was replacing my heater core in my 94, I made the mistake of removing the passenger airbag cover when trying to remove dash pieces. When I did, I broke two plastic pieces...

Changing heater core in a 94

Alright, I know I'm fortunate because I have a 90+ vette, and not an earlier C4 with heater cores that are impossible to get to. I've still heard that it is a challenge though. What is the best way...

Re: [Exposed C6 Body] So what do you think of the C6 Now... (93aqua)

C3 and C4 were very radical and exciting. The C5 was the most boring corvette built. Besides its low hood, headlights and taillights, it looks very japanese. We have just gotten used to that...

Re: seen these yet?? (411_monkey)

I think the C6 front is better than the C5's, whos front has to be the most uninspired and bland front of the 6 generations. Though the C6 does look similiar to the RX8 and viper, it still maintains...

Re: Great (jerome)

I talked to a buddy at GM over a year ago, and he said he had seen the LS7 being dynoed. He didn't know displacement, but the engineers there said that they would conservatively rate it at 450, but...

Re: Drilled rotors on bikes (h rocks)

I don't think the cracks have anything to do with the material, meaning that cast iron does not crack easier than SS or titanium. The cracks start from stress concentrations created by sharp edges. ...

Re: Spare Tire Replacement (79C3)

Dont keep a spare. It adds weight. And besides, if your classic vette ever breaks down, you will have people flocking to help you. It happened to me before- pull off on the side of the road and...

Re: Anybody use ratchet wrenches? (NHvette)

I plan to get ratchet wrenches at some point, but there are three problems with them:
1. They are expensive- couldn't justify it
2. You will break the ratcheting mechanism if you use it on tight...

Re: Credible oft-repeated numbers (Jinx)

My insider said he saw the LS7 engine (for the Z06) dyno at near 500, but that the engineers were going to rate it at 450. Sounds like it will come intially detuned at 450 and increase to 500 over...

Re: Intalled Sidepipes- most disappointing day EVER (GrandSportC3)

Re: Intalled Sidepipes- most disappointing day EVER (NHvette)

Re: planning on a turbo in the future, what to do now though? (szercer)

It you do go with a turbo, or even a supercharger, you need to be running low compression ratio, say 8.5:1. I think L48s were 8.5:1 during some years, but they are using cast pistons, and a turbo...
