Default Alternate Approach for installing Flameball on Automatic C5

Just installed a Flameball on my 2002 Automatic C5 Coupe using the adapter from CAU. I deviated from CAU's instructions and thought others might find the info useful. Click on "Alternate Installation Approach" for a description and pictures of the steps that I took. As always, your mileage may vary. Alternate Installation Approach

I think the Flameball looks really :cool: I love this thing. :D

It's not bright, it has more of a glow to it. It's just perfect.

According to the Vette Doctors dyno, I only pulled 312 TQ, and all I've added since is hypertech tuning.
The day that picture was taken, the track was REALLY sticky. A 6 second dragster did a pass before me. So I pulled up to the line, floored it from a idle, and had no wheelspin. :D
Too bad it was 85 and humid out, otherwise I would have had a new best E.T. that day.
