Pretty nasty looking under the starter.
We're there any performance tricks done or was it just cleanup and replacing some basics?
One thing I do to cover the IH's, instead of stuffing tissues or other paper products in is I lay narrow cardboard pieces on top and tape them so they don't move.

Yea it was nasty under there, but it cleaned up nicely. No performance tricks done other than the 16 item list that was completed as per post #1 in the link. Getting my secondaries operational was all of the tricks that I needed. It's like day and night as most owners and now I do, know. We had tape, but decided to use the paper towels, worked just as well, no problems.

Glad you enjoyed the post Ron, I still remember when I bought the extra set of A-Molds from you a few years ago and you delivered them to me in the snow with your ZR-1. A sight I'll never forget I should have taken pics that day!!! Tom

It was a little hairy goozing the LSV out with an inch or two of fresh snow. It really came on like gang busters.

Enjoy those wheels! Hope to hook up with the Wazoo boys soon as I have some fresh interior bits to spice her up with red black interior and a bit of much needed seat cover replacements.

After YEARS of watching these for big $ I found some reasonable so I'm the old gal will get some new seats finally.

Yes, that was something.... and your exhaust sounded great, I remember hearing your motor before you even got to my development....

Looking forward to seeing you @ WAZOO in the future to check out the new interior pieces.....

Anthony, glad you are enjoying the thread. If you have the time, the room and the patience to do the plenum pull, then I would do it. It is a great learning experience to say the least. If I wasn't close or part of WAZOO, I would have done it myself. Would have taken longer, and asked more questions. But with the experience and knowledge there is in the group, it was a no brainer. I keep repeating, but I did learn a lot. It just feels so good to have secondaries...
