Works for me. If I didn't have to have the cats, I'd put in Hooker Headers, but I'm just going with shorty headers and keep the cats.

I checked the listings and i dont see horsepower tv coming on again till the weekend.

On another note, they ended the show saying something like they were going to be doing something else next week and they were going to come back to "stinkray" at a later date. Anyone else hear that too?

Next week's episode is Part 3. I don't know how many parts there are. I did tape Part 2. I had Part 1, but I lost it on my TiVo, Must have been deleted. Does anyone have Part 1 that they can email to me at villardk@gmail.com? I plan to tape all parts and edit out the commercials and put it on DVD, if I can get Part 1. I'll make the DVD available to forum members when completed.

Thanks.

SpcCox, yes, I heard something similar. The next Stinkray esisode will be in twoo weeks. At that time the fuel bladder would have been replaced with lines completed and ready to fire. In my area it is programmed for Sat and Sunday at 12:30 pm. It would be nice to see what 1/4 mile times it runs. I also think in the first episode they implied they would also paint it, but that might just be my wishful thinking.

I'm thinking of making my own show. Just for Corvettes. Each week a forum member brings in their car and we do all the things that need to be done.....on someone elses dime. Of course my car will be first. Any producers on the forum?

Oh don't get me wrong I'm sure its great but they are pretending to be emmision legal on the show. I'm just thinking its giving people the wrong impression. then again the allowable HC and CO for my car is so high you'd have to try and fail it.
