You're supposed to drink alcohol not put it in your car. What a waste!

Default Injectors!

Then there are people like me that are trying to keep their Vette on the ground and in one piece by taking off the pro charger and having to step down in injector size.
Face it unless you want to build a race car with roll cage and backhalfed 500 plus HP isn't the best thing for staying alive with a drivers liesence! LOL
A helmet doesn't really do a whole lot in a plastic car!


I think a 383 LT 4 with forged internals and a big cam w/bare vaccum might be enough if you want to drive it further than 1/4 mile at a time.
The Dana 44 w/373 gears are not too bad with the built 4L60E Overdrive and 3200 stall.
I know I must be getting old but I suddenly found an afinity for life beyound the next curve and tree.

Anyway I've got a good set of 42.5 low impedence injectors for use with aftermarket computer I'll trade for 30-32 lb. low impedence or sell after I buy some in a couple of weeks.
Heres a Link to Pics of both Vettes, I've lost 50 lbs between buying the cars.
Yeh the weight loss does wonders for ETs.
