Fun and Fast ride!
I took out the Vette last night for an evening run to WalMart. As I was leaving my neighborhood it just felt incredibly strong. Accelerating in second gear, I goosed it a little and the wheels came out from under the car. It just felt stronger than it normally does. Any reason for this?
I'm just wondering, maybe there is some tuning to be done to get some more out of it. At least to keep this level of power. Any suggestions?
If I had the fuel injectors flushed at the dealerhip is it better than using Techron injector cleaner? Adjusting the timing? Will an adjustable fuel presure regulator be a good mod? Just wondering your opinions.
Oh yeah, a Porche Boxter was wanting to play. :boxing I sent him home shaking and scratching his head. That was fun.
Maybe it was just me but it felt really strong! :chevy

The only time that I notice a change is when the air temp is cool, look down at the temp gauge and sure enough. When she runs cool she runs stronger.
