NC got hammered with snow this week, link on DC looks good!

 

yup I am actually in NC for leave right now I got a good shot of the vette under 6 inches of snow. atleast it was the kind of snow I like the dry kind that only hangs around a day or two.

 

How are those 4.11 gears working out? Some guy's running with 4.08 find first gear basically useless and second not much better. I would be interested to hear about your experience.

 

1st gear is fairly usless for daily driving, but for your get up and go its amazing if you keep your traction. with the 4.11s it makes the gear ratios very tight you can keep it in 4th pretty much all the time even when slowing down to 10 mph or less to make turns I like them, I definetly would not go HIGHER but backing down a gear would still keep me happy.

with the t-56 and 4.11s it makes for a great combo.

rpms are still very resonable at interstate speeds

 

Thanks for the update. I think I am going to go with 3.55s to try and make a more civilized daily driver. I think stock runs around 3.42 or less.

 

is only me or does digitalcorvette.com have a really sloooowww server?

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the heater hose return your mechanic modded totally bypass the thermostat on it's return from the heater core? And isn't it the heater hose return responsible for proper thermostat operation?
