I had a C3 & C4 (78 & 85). My 78 was slower than dog crap, had a crappy respray & the interior was a bit ragged.

My 85 had that gawd awful pad on the passenger's side. I took that out and replaced it with a glove box mod. I put a 160* thermostat in, a Hypertech Stage II chip, 25% underdrive on the pulleys and an epoxy plenum & runners. It was so much fun to see the look on 5.0 driver's faces when my 85 would beat them.

The big challenge with the C4 & C5s was the VATS, too many people kept half a hundred keys on a key ring and then couldn't figure out why the car wouldn't start. I lost count of how many VATS bypass cables I installed.

You know, I really dig the c4 vettes. Might actually be my favorite exterior style wise, kinda boxy and timeless like a z32 imo.

Damn coolant pressure gauge was a piece of chit. Will get it fixed up shortly. Ugg, chit happens.

No, I was trying to get something quick. All good, time for plan B. It won't be another cheap gauge either.

I hate freaking gauges in my car. I just need to log it. You can't watch a gauge when driving my car. That's not happening. At 17psi you can kinda watch the boost gauge a little bit. Any higher boost, forget it.

The reason I know it is around 15% is MA's dyno is a dyno pack. We check the numbers coming from it on my first build and then went to a dynojet. It was 15% lower.

This is what I was trying to point out before when you mentioned he only made a little bit more than you. The dyno dynamics reads low.

If anyone wants a set of FI stage 2.5 or the new stage 2 turbo's, let me know. They more than likely will be coming off my car next year when the motor is dropped. I doubt very seriously they go back on.

That is why I am waiting until next year, for the play fund to be replenished. What am I going to do? No idea yet. I have a couple of options in my head. I will need that time to figure it out. I am very picky when it comes to turbo's.

Do I need to tell you in a colorful language????? Those little Mother fluckers have got to go.

Bottom line is, I have outgrown my current turbo's.
