DJMotorsports also called Corvette Motorsports. They make the covers that Ecklers, Midamerica and about everyone else sells, but by going direct I saved a ton of money.

Tommy - rich is right. He has spent a lot of coin on this car while he is in Iraq. ZR1 wheels, the seats, powder coating, intake, exhaust, dyno tune, and the list goes on.
He is about done now as far as I know. On the good side he got a very good deal when he bought it and can afford the mods and still put money in the bank every month.


They don't make Mid-America Motorworks covers.....they have their own manufacturing plant right there on their campus. That's where I got mine last month and I toured the manufacturing plant.

BTW, those look really good! Me likey.

Quick update.. Removed the negative battery cable and it looked perfect. New cable is going in tomorrow anyway because I already bought it. Then going to move on to the positive battery cable (bought that also). Got a new starter also just in case.

L98 distributor

I am in the process of SLP intake install with new injectors on my 91. I am also in the "while I'm in there" mode and along with other items I ordered a replacement MSD distributor from Summitt Racing. It came the day after I ordered it! Wow - fast service!
I ordered it on line and saw that it specifically fit the VIN "8" 91 Corvette. This is the L98 and not the LT5.
I have not had time to look at the direction sheet that came with it but I see by looking at the box before I left for work today that it has an adjustable vacuum advance on it. The distributor I took off the car does NOT have an external vacuum advance canister on it. Did they send me the wrong distributor? Or do I just connect a vacuum line to one of the openings in my intake manifold (maybe with a "T" to an existing line?)
Still at work and this is bothering me. Maybe the directions that come with the MSD will tell me what to do.

My Melrose headers have a stamp. If I remember right, it's down by the collector. I'll get a picture if I can. Those don't look like Melrose.

What's a "free beverage area" ?

Here it's from the north door to the south door, east door to west door.

Ya know, most all those slots have electronic connectors that I speced in. Wish I was still getting commission on them.

The slot manufacturer here has a million sq.ft of mfg. and engineering floor space.

My neighbor that I helped with the Headers,just came over to borrow my pressure washer. His Dyno with the 383 tweeked is 476 hp @ 470 ftlbs @ 6,700. He did get it to the strip last Monday night he ran in the mid 11's. He said he made a ton of mistakes for what little performance he gained. I didn't even suggest a run with the 55< it has a brake leak anyway!

Obama might be a good communicator, but in todays political environment, I think he needs to be a "great" communicator..... and a lot of that comes with experience. Perhaps age is a better word, I dunno. But, we do know the Republicans wouldn't give him a yes vote even if it was a bill that gives them all mansions stocked with virgins..... The Obstructionism (or whatever its called), can only be gotten around if you can somehow sell them and I think it takes a great amount of experience or wisdom or something to make that happen.... and we know its not happening, thus we have a problem.

But, then again, perhaps nobody regardless of who it is and what level of experience they have could not make anything work in this political environment.... I don't know, I'm just thinking outloud.

But, I do agree with that 1st term vs 2nd term thing.... seems logical. Just a question of if he'll get a 2nd term.

MAF g/s again........

I'm looking at a recent data log of mine and still wondering why my MAF rate is still low.

This is a screen shot of a log I did today. Notice the max rpm is 6326. The air flow actually hit it's highest point at 5863 rpm.

What if anything does this tell me? Aren't these g/s rates still low for my mods? Shouldn't they be more in the 320-340 g/s range?

My tuner may wants to try using speed density just to see what if anything changes with the motor. Thoughts on this?

I was a regular in whatever bar or pool hall was the hot spot of the moment in Cicero. My sidekick Pete was one of the best pool shots in town. He used a Rambo cue that he won off "Nigg** Dean". I could call the shots. Just couldn't make them. "No technology" as "fingers" Frank used to say. Some of the stuff that went down in those pool halls, especially in the wee hours when "The Golden 8 Ball" closed downtown and the big shots would filter in looking for some action, you could write a book about.

Yeah, that's a problem. Imagine if it was left to the common public to elect the CEO of a private company.

Obama is a great speaker, but I'm less and less convinced of his ability to communicate.

Everytime he speaks, no matter how informal the setting, it's like he's reading someone elses lecture. I sense no engaging thought there. And he has his poker face on every time.

Bush II on the other hand, is more like Joe Biden. They say some stupid things, but their mannerisms and emotions at least clue you into what they are thinking, which I appreciate.

Grew up playing pool with my dad and WW2 buddies. I sucked at it until the age of 12 then everything clicked. Played in weekend tournaments in high school,college was the same senario,the navy is where a lot of guys where really good and hustling was the norm. Played for beers, pizza, challenge coins and ears(not ours) We have a VFW post in Granger that has 6 new tables...nice.

DJMotorsports also called Corvette Motorsports. They make the covers that Ecklers, Midamerica and about everyone else sells, but by going direct I saved a ton of money.

Tommy - rich is right. He has spent a lot of coin on this car while he is in Iraq. ZR1 wheels, the seats, powder coating, intake, exhaust, dyno tune, and the list goes on.
He is about done now as far as I know. On the good side he got a very good deal when he bought it and can afford the mods and still put money in the bank every month.

For what is it worth, I helped a neighbor install a set of Melrose long tube headersin his 90. I don't remember looking like yours in the pic. They do look like Hedman Elite from the flange. My neighbor noticed a dip in his dyno hp with the headers. Had Eldelbrock Heads,HSR,32lb injectors, cam,roller rockers,etc replaced long tube headers with short tube design and picked up hp to 381hp. FYI his bottom end could not take the few hard pulls he did make let alone the trans. He really became frustrated with project when he constantly got beaten by my 55Chevy! He was turning mid 12's and once low 12's's with 373 rear gears. He has since joined the 383 club with Eagle lower end stuff and an edelbrock fuel injection system. Dyno is now 426hp @ 405 ftlbs of torque. He has not gotten to the strip yet. Sounds good and runs strong. Had the 700R beefed up also. He really put a lot of $$ in it without the return, hopefully the 383 will turn things around for him!

I went McDermott for their warranty and maintenance. Lifetime warranty against everything including warping, and maintenance twice a year including new Everest tip, cleaning, re-wrapping if needed etc, all you have to pay is the return shipping ($27) for the life of the cue.

Bill: I would LOVE to have gotten to watch Masconi play, that must have been cool.
