Carbed C-4
I couldn't respond to post because of some blurb about your post title is to long.
Qoute - Ive ran 100 bottles through the car with no problem!
:yesnod:
There is something called cumulative effect. Maybe you will get lucky and only find a plug or two with the tips burnt off

Re: Carbed C-4 (gkull)
I just got to thinking about what Beach Bum has on his site. Good article about how blowers are more cost effective than NO2.
Just look at your case 100 bottles times $35 each Just a few more bottles and You could have owned a nice big blower for EFI. Or your car would already have a big 8/71 with dual 750s on top. 8/71's on small blocks is the way to go under driven they will make 12 pounds of boost.

Re: Carbed C-4 (CarbedC4)
I can't tell you for sure if it will fit, but I have seen a few of the Weiand 177 ci and Holley 174 ci power chargers on small blocks under cowl induction hoods on older cars. I would call them. I also don't think that you can get the boost you need out of the smaller 144 ci versions. So anyway don't :smash: the poor car to hard.
Can I request something from you? Also to a few others. I only have a modem connection. So the length of time it takes for me to look at some of your posts just isn't worth it. Because I have to download every signature car picture. Just show me your car once at the beginning of the post or in one reply. I'm not the only one bothered by the same picture multi. times. :seeya All you have to do is "Uncheck" the append sig. block before sending. Thank you!

Re: Carbed C-4 (Lt1er)
the 144 mini blower will fit on a C3, but not a C4.
The frame memeber in front of the engine is the culprit
If you can get a hold of a magnacharger they'll fit
Two miniblowers 45degrees apart sucking in from the side.
Why not just run a Vortech?
BTW if sigs are an issue go to your profile and have them not show when viewing.

Re: Carbed C-4 (BrianCunningham)
Brian I like looking at your car "once" In fact I like seing it. I just don't like posts a 1/4 mile long with the same pics over and over. I have the ability to remember!

Re: Carbed C-4 (Lt1er)
LT1er, once the pictures loads on your browser, it loads subsequents views of the same picture from cache. It is not downloading the same pic multiple times per page. So as far as connection speed, it helps you none by only postnig it once. I do agree with the statement about posting it once per thread though and that is a policy I try to follow personally.

Re: Carbed C-4 (Vette92)
Vette92 - Thank you for being more considerate the Mr. Polo that can't afford new tires or something. I really don't know why anyone would be proud of bald tire's and a bad alignment setting.
You just can't ask a simple nice thing with some people. They must have been the ones I used to beat up on the way to grade school just for something to do. So now as adults they are always on the defensive. :boxing

Re: Carbed C-4 (Lt1er)
I wasn't being defensive.
I was pointing out a solution that works in all you posts.
If you use to go around beating up on people, well I guess your the one with social issues.
And they're AUTOCROSS TIRES!!! The alignment is fine they don't have grooves on the outside, they never did! If you knew anything about them you would know that too, but I guess you don't

Re: Carbed C-4 (BrianCunningham)
Your right. I tried shutting it off before. Then you get Zero pic's. I mentioned I like looking once.
Your also right on the tires my mistake. When I just now really look close I can see that they are gummy and the soft rubber has picked up debris. I still can't make out the manufacturer of your tires. Would they be Kumho's or something? I've only used Hoosiers or BFG - R's and compete in BSP.

Re: Carbed C-4 (BrianCunningham)
Brian, ease up on LT1er a little. I used to have the same issue before they offered high speed connections in my area and know what he is going thru. Posts with multiple pictures are an investment to open and can take several minutes. Turning off the graphics in the bowser is not a good solution: a) you don't get to see ANY pictures and b) you don't see all of the icons necessary to operate certain pages. I like the pictures, but the same picture 10x in a post is overkill. I think that is all he was suggesting.
Sorry for chiming in.

Re: Carbed C-4 (Lt1er)
They're Hoosier A compounds ( Autocross ) as oppose to to R compound ( Race )
They're really soft, I've got to watch them on an open track to make sure they don't cord! :eek: but at an autocross they stick like glue :D
peace man ( no sig attached ) :flag :chevy

Re: Carbed C-4 (BrianCunningham)
I never wanted to scrap with you the other day. It was just one of those day's. I've never acomplished what you did. With a A-X champ. Here you have to travel so much to make every meet. Also California has so many trailer queen vehicles. I could never figure out how these people buy the latest Vettes and just have them for A-X. I mean never register them.
I guess it's just lots of disposable income to have a Vette in a trailer just for events.
