Re: First-Ever Lemons Corvette... and we gave it zero BS laps!

We have enough trouble getting a stock Chevy fuel-injected V8 to work! I'm thinking of going 2 stroke to simplify!

WOW I love that line,  I think I'm gonna steal it next time I run into my circle track buddies.

There isnt ANYTHING wrong with a Q-jet....that a Holley can't fix is my old saying.

Find yourself a 9" tall high rise intake and strap a 600CFM carb to it... you'll be good at WOT then...

Re: First-Ever Lemons Corvette... and we gave it zero BS laps!

Make a cardboard shroud that fits over it.
They don't look past stuff like that...

Just use glue and macaroni to spell out anything with "Hoon" in it and you are stealthy. I heard.

What could possibly go wrong?

Re: First-Ever Lemons Corvette... and we gave it zero BS laps!

Fuck tuning quad webbers... but considering they have an iron block Chevy V8 with no source of direct air flow... The judges will probably always lets it through with no laps because the end result will ALWAYS be the same... steam, smoke and scalded hands.

Hmm - I bought an abandoned '84 C4 that had been stripped and caged for $800 (to rebuild as my track car) - do we get a cage allowance in the price wink?

Would you leave your complaints about CIS out of this? I really don't care what you think of K-Jet. K-Jet is the most superawesometotallyrad fueling system ever invented by man.

I remember when these guys pulled into the pits the day of tech inspection.   The paddock broke into a a chant "CHEATERS, CHEATERS, CHEATERS, CHEATERS, CHEATERS".  Im sorry they didn't do better.  See ya at Sears guys....

Pierce Manifolds had a booth set up at a vintage race I attended last year.  I asked how much it would cost to put dual DCOEs on my Sunbeam (they have the manifold listed on their website, but no price.)  Their response:  "At least a grand, plus tuning, plus a whole lot of heartache."

Crap - you can seriously get that kind of coin for the original trans?  I have a friend trying to sell me a Tex Racing T-10...

I tried to buy one about 6 months ago and the guy wouldn't sell it to me for anything less than 1500. 1500 is average for those POS's but since they are factory original, they are desired/rare/collectable. Considering they are heavy pigs and can't hold anything over 300HP (reliably) I had to pass.
