Looking forward to the opportunity to test that hypothesis.

Yeah I moved southwest of Katy about 2 1/2 years ago when I started working in the office. Now I'm back offshore so who knows where I'll end up now.

Ill let you know when I get her back together. The problem with having my car tore apart this long is I stare at it and find things I could have done differently the first time so I have completely redone everything. (re-routed hoses, re-wired, blower piping, etc) The only thing I haven't touched yet is the fuel system and I still need to clock the level sender in the drivers tank just a bit.

I would like to ride in your car to see how the pro efi traction control works. That might be on my list of things to do. Hooking in 1st, 2nd or 3rd would be awesome.

Will do, Mark. Somebody said you sold your car a while back. We'll have to patch up soon. Boost whether is right around the corner.

I did sell her, but like you couldn't stay away. My new ride which looks exactly like the old one has been down since mid February but should be ready for break in miles any day now and yes, we are getting to the good time of the year !

I am on my 3rd and 4th Corvette also. I had a '92 and a '94 back in the mid 90's. I inherited my fathers 1981 C3 Vette a few years ago when he passed away, and got turned on to C3's. So I bought another '82 C3 Vette earlier this year. Still own them both. Currently, I am saving up for a new C7.
