Power steering cooler delete

Had to unmount the power steering cooler and push it to the side to make room for the A&A supercharger intake piping. Thinking of removing it completely but I run one or two track events a year. Do...

Seems like I have a fault in the vacuum tank. My car is supercharged. Is there any harm if I run a line direct from the manifold to the vacuum block and it sees boost occasionally? Is it worth...

Yes. Always wonder how much unloading is needed, though. I've had enough lift where the jack starts to get unloaded.

C5 thin spoke or magnesium strong enough for track use?

2000 C5 with A&A supercharger. About 516 RWHP but might bump it up a little with a mild cam. I have my original thin spoke and a set of C5 magnesium. Are the thin spoke strong enough for some DOT...

A/C compressor replacement with A&A supercharger

2000 with an A&A kit. I don't have time to try changing out the A/C compressor myself so I'll probably end up taking it to a shop. I think the A/C compressor is leaking. I've seen a thread about...

Had it suggested to either try blowing or vacuuming it out. I think either might work but I won't try until the next oil change. Made a couple passes on the drag strip and no issues seen.

C6 split spoke or C5 Z06 - which would be better?

Found a cheap set of OEM C6 split spoke wheels and set of C5 Z06 that are about twice the price ($550). If I'm looking to put race tires or DOT, which would be better? I'd need spacers with the C6...

A&A kit and bad AC compressor

Might have a leaking AC compressor. I have an A&A kit and XS Power headers. Haven't got into it yet but will the AC drop out the bottom or does the blower/headers need to come out?
