forget about swapping to a fast 92 if you already have a fast 90, if you want more of a gain go with a EWP from Cory it really made a difference in my car faster et and mph in bad weather and the car runs cooler

Hey Dennis you're giving up all your speed secrets. A good 1/4 mi. still takes a good driver and the right combo to make it happen.

i didn't have it on when i went the 10.92 but i bet it will go a 10.82 with it in the same air and 10.7s 0r 10.6s in -1000DA to go 11.08 at 122 with an automatic in +2400 DA it has to work and i think it would have still went 10s with a couple more passes that day but i had to leave early

You have my interest up now. Does corey harris sell them, if so how much are they? Is there a downside to using them. Im thinking if I get
a UD Pulley & EWP together It just might add about 20rwhp then it
would be like adding a small cam without the surgery.

hi Leon sounds like a good plan it keeps my temps down, i could idle with defroster on 80 degrees out and after 30 minutes still 180 degrees, i got mine from Cory comes with the 160 and 180 stat. easy to install i don't remember the price, it took a while to get shipped here but well worth the wait.

Hi guys,

I sold the last Mezieres out early this month. There are so many "drop ship" companies out there that I can't compete on price any more. It's a great item for getting the last little bit out of a combo and there are many corvetteforum vendors specializing in parts that can give you a great deal. I just can't compete on parts. Porting on the other hand... is a whole different story

I saw decent gains with my Meziere pump last year. Just keep in mind it's electric and if it goes out your stuck like chuck wherever you are.

This is the reason why I got rid of mine. It left me stranded at Wal-Mart for 6hrs on a Sunday. Although it made the car rev quicker and smoother I just couldnt take the chance being stuck once again.

Just something to consider.
