The car will probably be at least 100 lbs lighter after this, and I already have trouble with my pwr/wt ratio for my class.

Wow, I like it!

It would be nice if the hood was a little more hi-rise.

I agree with everyone, that really looks cool. I like the work on the front with the plate cover...smooth. I'm would like to do that to mine. Thanks for the pics.

i'm tracking down a no-idle condition on my 91. suspect the IAC and popped the hood 5 minutes ago.

I've come to the realization that i want/need to delete my AIR injection system for the following reasons:

1: the lifetime smog pump from the parts store loses the bearing at least once a year, and while free to replace, is a PITA since i'd rather be driving than working on the car.

2: i was looking to take out the IAC and this big AIR injection deal is right in the way of getting a socket on it, and it's just plain ugly.

3: hoses on said black deal in IAC's way are a tad beat

4: reaching down tracing one of them that heads down under the manifold, it's broken off.

5: i'm willing to bet i can pass e-check without it since we do not do visual and i pass with every other GM small block EFI that i remove it from.

so who makes a delete pulley for the pump itself, what size caps and plugs will i need for things, and where are the fittings located that need removed? i'm sure i'll find those easily while just tracing lines/hoses but i'd like to have the proper size caps and or plugs before starting the job and so i do not have to guess.

thanks!

From what I can see on the under hood photos that scoop should be functional now. It could probably use some 1 to 11/2 inch soft weatherstripping or foam to make a seal between the air box and scoop. Nice work either way. Way much better than I could have done.

As far as the non-pop up headlights go.....

When I first looked at the above picture with the lighting and the over spray on the headlight doors it looked like the clear panel covering the non pop up headlights and I thought that looks pretty cool. The over spray kinda looked like a reflection in the glass covering the headlights.

Then I looked at the other pictures then I realized that they were the standard headlights. My Bad.

No Biggie if you don't like them. Just kinda threw that out there for discussion.

I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread detailing what one might need to have when going out on your first auto-cross or road course event. It might also be nice to have a place where one could read up on how to adjust your Vette while you are there.

Here are a few ideas:

Tire guage
portable air tank or small compressor
How about some race wheels? (you don't want to wear out your street tires)
Torque wrench (for wheels)
jack
Blanket (to work on)
Extra bottle of oil (you have to keep them full)
Ice chest (filled with water!)
suntan lotion
gloves (for driving)
helmet
shoes for driving (wrestling shoes work great; small soles)
rags and hand cleaner (nothing worse than driving with greasy hands)
folding chair (it's nice to have a seat)
On hot days--It's nice to bring shade--a large umbrella or canopy

How do you get this stuff to the track? Either tow your Vette on a trailer or drag a trailer behind you. As in:



Please fill free to add to this list. For those who just want to try a few runs and don't want to bring all this stuff, just show up with your helmet and a Vette in good condition.

COPO, do you have any step by step photos to show how you morphed the Camero SS hood to the C4 clam shell? I kie the look as it doesn't disrupt the lines of the hood. Bet it will be super sharp when it is painted,

Ya ever thought about going this route Mark????

I put the SS Corvette letters on mine and tossed the OEM Badge. It would look good on your color too.

Just a thought. (Sorry thought I had a better picture)

Looks good

I'm usually not in to the hood scoop thing but yours is right on.

Have you ever thought about installing non-pop up headlights??

I think they would look really good beside the scoop!!

I really dig that scoop!

The placement seems perfect to me.

Not too far up or back. Just right.
