Woot...Woot!! getting fixed !
Accountant called, taxes are done, not as bad as I thought.Just ordered my Bosch Injectors, O'rings, FN filter, O2 sensor, intake gaskets.
Woot! No more oil leak for me!!
It'll take a week to get her in the garage to get "fixed" but at least I can afford it now.
Woot!

K&N Air Filter, increase HP, million mile warranty and washable.
It's alos been been known to increase stamina, good looks, attract babes, make you $$ and keep you healthy too. LOL>
Around $75 or so but worth it.

Since it's a vert, you can imagine.
Sooo...I'm fixing it. My Vette surgeon is charging $400 labour to do the gaskets, O2 sensor, injectors and clean the mess up (oil). Which I happy to pay for a number of reasons.
He used to own " Corvette USA" and he did nothing but vettes.
He has worked on Screaming_Conures vette ( forum member) and has come highly reccomended.
I'm not "gifted" enough, or perhaps too lazy to do this myself.
I bought the injectors from Jon at FIC, which I found here at the forums.
I had a question about which ones to buy last night and emailed him at 11:30 pm. He replied within 5 minutes.
At least MY money is going to ME instead of the "less fortunate" who don't bother working for a living. As I stated, my "Taxes"...aka. my $ going to "recipients" was a lot less than I anticipated, so I'm happy.
Sooo, I can expect at least 475 hp after this....right?

Be extremely careful with that K&N. If you over oil it you will fry your MAF and that is a $275 mistake.
Sorry to be a downer but I don't even run one. If I'm that concerned about airflow I'll just replace the paper filter more frequently (which flows better than a KN until it starts getting dirty...)

I need to do my intake gasket, I replaced every other gasket on mine except the intake and that is what it has to be. I haven't done it yet because I am hopefully switching to vortech heads, intake and new cam, so I guess I have to wait, it's definitely my biggest pet peeve on my car right now
