I guess there's currently a shortage of commas.

if you lower..i suggest the little "wheels" for front air dam area..and "side rails" for the side rocker panels...
i have them and would'nt drive it w/out um
with 19/20 wheels and low profile tires..you definitely give up ride quality..

Josh, in case you haven't figured it out, we're probably a little older than your average "import" group and we tend to appreciate complete spelling and punctuation. It makes it easier for us old farts to understand what people are saying.

But I've just got to ask, what are you running to make use of "lsxr 102intake and tb and rails"?

i might be a young cat in here. But just got my car about three months ago. i just wanna say i love the car.All my attention goes towards the car.i may type fast and speak fast but when people clown on me for loving my car.It sort of tics me off. But yes ill turn it down a notch. i just hope to get about an extra 15-20hp out of the intake,fuelrails,and throttlebody! i'm excited to come home from work and get that put on!!!! next will be nos? heads? its all to be continued!

josh - i may be wrong, but i think blue is asking about your mods to support a 102 intake... i don't know much about engine modding and tuning other than the basics, but that seems like a pretty massive intake that probably isnt going to perform anywhere close to its potential unless it has the proper supporting mods...

The attitude from some of you is very disappointing-to say the least.

The guy was looking for help, who cares if he's text typing? You can understand it fine, stop trying to belittle him.

Either help him or ignore him, there is no reason to insult him.


To the OP, I recently purchased the Zip's Corvette lowering kit. It really isn't worth the money. The front bolts that come with the kit are EXACTLY the same as the bolts already on your car, they just don't have the rubber bushings on them, so they get the front about .5" lower. You can just cut your bushings off the front and get the same drop. The rear bolts are just a bit longer than the stockers. You can spend 15 bucks at a tractor supply store and buy some Grade 8 nuts and bolts for the rear.

I don't know much about engine mods ether.Pretty much just the basics also.MY car has kooks long tube headers,bolra exhuast,ported heads,small cam,tune.The last time i had the car tuned.It layed down 411hp. I forgot the tq numbers.The guy the helps me with my car.Said i could most definitly see a 15-20 hp gain.I just figured with the ported heads,small cam,full exhuast.The intake was the next step.Plus the intake has nos ports for direct injection.Which is probably my next step.
