Default Well I got the headers on............

Damn this car sounds nice. The mpegs I have don't do it justice. Its loud..........just the way I like it!! If someone can show me how to post, I have before and after mpegs of my car Idling and revving.

I was rushed at the shop and didn't have time to take pictures or take any mpegs there. I had to get in do the work and get out by 3pm. It only took me and my buddy 4-4 1/2 hours to do the whole thing. Not too shabby if you ask me.

However, it was giving me some trouble on the way home. A couple of times it stuttered at 3000rpm (wanting to die) and didn't want to go higher, then it would snap to life hard at about 4000rpms. Its fine now, did it about 3 or 4 times. I think the computer is trying to adjust to them. I'm gonna need to tune this car soon.

Know if I can just get a nice dry day......

I asked my buddy who plugged in the 02 sensors into there respective electric outlets.........and come to find out, he plugged them into the wrong side. I could of swore I told him how to put them in correctly. Now, I have to get under there and un-cut all the zip ties I did and re-route the sensors, then re-zip tie all the wires away from the headers. At least I know why it was sputtering now. Gettig under a lowered Vette isn't fun either. I'll have to make a better ramp............damn this sucks!!

Its because the damn shop started to rush us.

You can upload it to www.putfile.com

You can also upload it here I've seen, though I've never done it here before.

Congrats.

Thanks Robert. I have 2 jack stands and a jack, I just have to get it up on a ramp to fit the jack underneith it. Plus, I'm scared to drive it with the 02 wires crossed like that. I know its not a big deal! Do you have a low profile jack? Mine is a normal sized craftsman and isn't lowered car freindly.


When I get it done, if I don't do it at your place, I'd like to show you it. Man does it sound nice............loud, but nice!

You call that loud........You must not have heard an LS1 with TD's and Sweet Thunders! Kidding, that sounds badass. I need to hear it in person. I bet that opens up your power quite a bit along with those 3.90's. Hopefully next summer I can make it up there for a visit and really hear it. I can imagine it is way louder than the video suggests, especially with that cam. Love it man, can't wait to see some new times.

Good Idea.........I just used a block of wood. I got the 02 sensors put on correctly now. No studdering at all. Now if the weather would just cooperate.

Like I said before.........this mpeg does not do this car justice. I wish you could hear it in person, especially at WOT. Now for some nitrous and a bigger cam........

I have the low profile roller race jack. But mine is lowered also, I just drive upon to a 2x6 then the jack fits. If I can help let me know. Still got the car cover too.
