So it been about 3 months since I sold the Lightning and im getting the itch to get back in something, and ive been doing a lot of looking at Z06's. Ive read about the head issues on the 427s and was wondering what you guys think about pulling the trigger on one of these cars? Im looking at...

Head on collision, driver coming from other direction crossed center line and hit me almost head on. My 2 year old was with me he is ok other than a mild abrasion on his head. I have a head contusion ( fancy name for big ass goose egg ) and a shoulder/ arm sprain that hurts like hell. And today...

Ive had it up for sale before ( last spring ) and had it sold but backed out at the last second. So im listing it again and for the final time. If I dont sell it now im finishing the damn thing and getting a built longblock installed. The entire history of the truck can be seen on either of...

Just came back from a mini vacation to Gatlinburg Tn and on the way home came via Interstate 26 / 20 and 95. On the last leg of I20 I was in a little convoy of cars that had been booking it pretty good for a long way at 80 to 90mph ( this is a 70mph zone ). Then over on the left side in a bed...

Well we are in the market for a new house and it " would" help the deal if I could get away from this damn money pit I never planned on selling this thing and dont really want to now but under the current circumstances it would be better if I did. Even more so since im planning on dumping...

Just throwing a question out there...if you go built with the shortblock and a set of cams but keep your stock heads how much power would be lost by retaining the stock heads? Ive seen post were guys say about 80hp is gained by heads/cams combos but I havent found anything giving a number for...

Your teams a joke :lol1::lol1::lol1::lol1::lol1::lol1::lol1:

and ive read a little bit of negative things about them. However Ive seen one or two post here that suggest that the 03 and NEWER models have the bugs worked out that the older years have. Can anyone attest to this :shrug: Ive done some research and it seems to be a mix of problems but i...

I have read and searched for a answer but havent really came up with any other case like this. So im asking and seeing what your opinions are :bored: Went to the strip last week and ran the Lightning ( on slicks by the way ). First pass was on Race tune #1 and on this tune I pulled the...

and ....well. I had some issues, first off the pucker would not hook up off the line. Every freaking time ( all 3 passes ) it broke traction and spun out about 8-10 feet before hooking up. My best 60 was a 1.78 and even it " felt " like crap, I could feel it spinnng. Its obviously time to...

Well after a near 6 hour drive Friday night we made it to Amazon Saturday morning at 10am. I'd like to say that all the positive things I have read about Rick and Lynn were absolutely TRUE. They were beyond what should be expected when you go to get a tune from a shop. Rick was a cool guy to...

Ok doing the hook up of all the vac lines and such tonight and ran into a issue. On this drawing it has TWO lines ( like on the eaton ) coming from the bypass actuator. On my Whipple the bypass actuator only has ONE place to hook a line, and the elbow does NOT have the fitting for the...

let me know if you have one :-D

For those of you that have done your own builds, have you used your stock block or do you get a new one and why? What is the list of parts needed to go built? Such as cam gears and such ( not the stuff for the internals of the short block ) Im thinking of going built and I have the money...

Ive read that most weigh MORE than the stocker??? WTF is up with that.....suggestions??

Finally got out to the strip today with the Lightning had a decent time and ran ok. The temps were warmer than what I wanted, it was 74* and I was praying for it to be 60* anyway in street trim ( kept the 14* tune, didnt up the global spark ) with only the tail gate and spare tire removed got a...

give me some pointers I'll be on slicks so do I go through the water box? About how long of a burn out should I do on them? What air pressure are you guys running? I know to turn the O/D off but is there any thing else I need to do or be aware of? Im looking for a mid to low 12, tell me what you...

add a couple * of timing on my Xcal and throw some 100 or 104 in the gas tank for a trip down the track? My current street tune is set on 14*, couldnt I add say 2 * to that and put the higher octane fuel in the tank and be Ok or not?

So they are going to close 155 stores AND they have cut jobs. They are cutting employes that they feel " make too much" http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/28/AR2007032802185.html they are trying to stay afloat, I know that. But this just sucks to can people...

On a STOCK BLOCK race tune with 104 octane mixed with 93??? I have a stage 4 ported eaton with a 6lb seeing about 16-17psi, my street tune is 14* and I was thinking either 17 or 18* for the race tune?? And this is for TRACK ONLY so ..........what do you think? What would be the ideal a/f for...

for you guys that have et's from before and after a stall install what did you get out of going to a looser converter? What is the normal gain from stock to say a 2400 stall? Could more than a tenth be picked up in the eighth mile?
