  1. Max, Not sure about the C5/C6, but when you buy a FG spring for a C4, it will have a colored sticker (I think 3 possibilities) and that is the identifier for where that particular spring 'finished' at. The color codes correspond with where the mounting shims must be to retain factory ride height. ..and yes, Pop is correct... FG springs started on Vettes in the 80's... '84 to be exact.
  2. That schematic is correct for LS1 coils.
  3. Yup... Klamath is on the south end of the state. We live on the northern border, east of Portland about 20 miles.
  4. I am a certificated pilot... fixed wing that is (so's BRAAP). Come on up... we'll take you for a really nice flight. Mt. Hood, Mt. St. Helens, Columbia Gorge, Multnomah Falls are all with in minutes.
  5. My flight instructors first rotor wing lesson... . . . .
  6. The problem with this is that it will put ALL of the loads of the engine through the frame rails/structure, whereas stock, it does not. If a person did something like this, serious consideration to structural reinforcement would be highly recommended. At least, thats how I see it...
  7. I don't know about "general consensus" but my opinion is that the M62 is too small to fool with. If you're building a mild street motor, the M90 should work well. If you're willing to gamble a little in the name of science, the M112 might prove worthy, especially if you're planning on running more boost via intercooling, race fuel, meth injection, etc, etc. Ultimately, this is a huge generalization. It really depends on what you're doing with the car and, because its largely uncharted/untested territory, you might find this to be hogwash.
  8. I imagine Rusch Motorsports would put something together for you.
  9. Technically speaking, the M112 should work. A couple things to think about though... for a given amount of flow, all things being equal, the larger SC will spin slower. Due to the air gap between the rotors and housing, a slower spinning SC will 'leak' more. This *could* cost you boost down low in RPM. Is a M112 big enough for this to be a factor on an L28? I couldn't say. Oddly enough an M90, driven 2:1, would displace nearly exactly twice the air of an L28 at 100% VE... and at 7000 rpm, spin the SC at the max. recommended RPM of 14K. Would an M90 push an L28 to 400HP?. When you factor the parasitic losses coupled with terrible adiabatic efficiency... maybe, but I have serious doubts. I sure wish someone would test this scenario for all of us
  10. OTM is just messing with me. He thinks he's ALL THAT but... well you know... OTM, just for you... a nice little 'finishing off' drift through the traps. Keep in mind I'm coming off a fast slolom and, in pic. 1, I'm already DEEP in the 'slip'. . . . . . Sorrry for the pic quality... 1870's digital technology.
  11. It was a fast Vette... SCCA Divisional Champ. with Don Mckenna as pilot, undefeated in state of Oregon with myself as pilot. (Pictures compliments of Pat Ezard) . .
  12. Don't you mean Bubba T's Rotisserie?
  13. These devices aren't conveniently portable... am I missing something? I'm guessing that you could buy a used laptop for less.
  14. Disturbing, to say the least.
  15. As unbelievable as it sounds, the yellow Z is fairly solid. Most of what you see is grime and surface rust. The orange Z, on the other hand, is swiss cheese.
  16. If you'd fix your blasted email, I'd send you some more ear candy
