What mods have u guys done that work and dont work. and what do u think about a hypertech programmer compared to the junk on ebay for 40 bucks. Even how about getting a chip or programmer?

 

This is a common topic. Lots of strong opinions. Should be interesting.

 

u live in ohio, funny I lived In Brecksville Ohio for 18 years, now im in Cary, North carolina. Quite a difference....but hows the weather...lol

 

94 has a PCM, no chip. Only a programmer, which is not worth the money.

 

This thread should cover part II of question 1 (http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1634941)

There are MANY mods that "work" it just depends on $$$$. Head/Cam packages, forced induction, NOS, stroker kits, tuning, etc...

Hypertech programmer? I don't have first hand knowledge of using one but search the threads for PCMforLess. Some have used them and appear to be satisfied with the results. Just my $ .02

 

Brecksville... one of the few places that's a bigger speed trap than Cuyahoga Falls! They got me once.
Nothing's changed... the weather is crappy. But I did manage to get the vette out yesterday.
But, Ohio is my place... I'm used to it, and the seasons are nice.
Cary must be like living in a large industrial northern city? Lots of businesses have moved there, I know GE has a lot of stuff there.

 

Funny thing tho that hapend the other day...

I was driving down a 4 lane main street and this turbo duramax chevy pulled up to me. I just got my exhuast on about two days ago and im driving normal, 50 in a 45. 4th gear, just loving the sound. and this guy is taunting me.and my girl friend didnt know turbo trucks are pretty dang fast, so i told her to watch how fast they are. she dont like when people try and mess with me she gets scared. well i had enough of this guy and his BS. so at the next light he obviously wanted to go so it turned green and i forgot to turn my trac control off and the gas peddle didnt want me to go.so i let off and shifted into second, slowed me up like hell. but the funny thing was that my first gear messed up i missed 3rd and he was next to me the whole time. i made it to 4th, looked back and noticed he wasnt to far back, but at the next one he wanted to go again. i laughed and made sure i took trac control off. he told me ( that things not as fast as it looks) well i was pretty mad he said that and when the light turned green i spanked him soo bad he didnt even pull all the way forward at any of the next lights, so i reversed and simply told him the only reason he got anywhere close was because I forgot how to drive at the first light. but now he knows not to mess with us C4's ( he wasnt stock either)

 

Okay, now save the racing for the track...

 

CF

 

whats CF mean and I dont race on trac i dont race at all really just once in a while I beat it up..fun though, my dad drove it for 12 years and finally passed it down, i been waiting to LEGALLY drive it WHEN he knows about it and have it be mine for a WHILE...

 

Forum Guidelines and Rules:

CF=Corvette Forum

 

I think what it really means is we all do it on occassion. Otherwise why own a fast sprots car? But we aren't supposed to talk about it on this forum.

I was in Medina county for 14 years, moved south some 14 years ago (wow, that;s a lot of years). Nice people, nice neighbors, etc., but I could not take the dang long and cold winters anymore. Lot nicer down here!

PS==I would have kicked the guys butt too!

 

yeah well my vette is no vette with alot done to it , i got nothing really done it just looks suped up and pretty, i got an intake but whoop De DOO. a couple other small things but .....ya know...but yeah he was tough S*** lol, i have yet seen civics and other cars u would never think would run me but i KNOW they are out there. i ran a 300zx turbo a neon was close prolly would of beat me but he didnt like the speed. but i dont wanna go next to an wrx sti. but i was next to some crazy thing i dont even know and i think his car blew up, it shot up in smoke and turned sidewaze, i think he blew a hose or something and messed his pants. LOL, but any other funny stories u guys have?

 

Derek, you are getting into stuff most CF members have learned to not talk about here.

There is a forum that caters to street racing stories. I think it's called CorvetteKillStories.

The stuff done here is pretty covert.

Please don't drive on the roads I use.

 

theres this website i went to once i think u should visit, its www.chillout.com/vette but if u dont wanna go thats fine, im just talking about life and driving vettes. what else do people do on this site. i didnt say i ran someone over

 

What they are saying is that the moderators will lock the thread if you continue to post about street racing. It could also result in getting you banned from the forum. You don't want that to happen. There is too much knowledge to be gained here. CorvetteKillStories and the Z28 forum have pretty good sections to read and post on street racing.



Edit: I had a Hypertech before I went to the custom tune. It benefits an auto a little more than a standard. Definately not worth more than $100. Don't waste your money. Get a laptop, Datamaster TTS, Tunercat, and order a custom tune. This will allow you to scan and troubleshoot as well as program. A tuner like PCMFORLESS can also upgrade the tune for future mods and upgrades.

 

well thanks for good advice. im not mad at anyone, i just dont see whats the big deal about talking but i dont wanna get locked out so ill stop talking ....HEHE

 

Wasn't one of REM's better songs written about Cuyahaga Falls?
