Notes:

Similar setups to this make in the low 500’s for horsepower and this will have lots of torque do to the custom cam design.  If you stick it you should be able to get into the 10’s on 91+ octane and still get 20+ highway mpgs.

The battery is centered (left to right) in the trunk because it was meant to be a street car, first.  There is an external shutoff that should be good for Real Street drags as long as you have a piece of tape pointing to it because it is somewhat hidden.

There is no rust in the typical body areas.  I believe the rear quarters and one of the fenders have been replaced.  The seals are fairly new and the glass is all good.  I found a few pin holes in the trunk but stopped them with CorrosionX for now.  The could easily be fixed with epoxy and repainted.  The underbody is quite clean.  Both bumpers are fairly new.  All fluids are synthetic:  oil, trans, diff, brakes, steering.

I put Zero Rust (similar to POR 15) and a butyl sound deadener on the firewall before installing the AC assembly.  I will include the 1 3/4 rolls that is left.  I planned to do the whole interior.

The transmission has a constant pressure setup so no TV cable is needed.  It will shift into OD around 35-ish (if I remember correctly) which is better for MPGs.  If you don’t want it in OD that early then just use the ratchet shifter.  With the lock-up converter, do not shift into OD (4th) with more than 1/2 throttle.  If you want to “get on it” I would keep it out of overdrive for maximum transmission life.

It really needs to be repainted.  A previous owner did a poor job.  It looks OK from about 10 feet away.  The lead lines show along the roof line do to a lack of primer or something and there is some rough body work along the rockers..  There is a ding in the drivers door about the size of a quarter and at least one good run in the clear but that is low enough that most people don’t see it.

The carpet is faded and needs to be replaced.  The seats and headliner are in good shape. 

It has an oil leak (drip) on the back side of the motor.  Using a PCV rather than just a breather may fix or reduce that problem.

The engine compartment wiring has been hidden (for the most part).  The wiper motor was deleted so if you are in an inspection area that could be a problem.  RainX once every spring will do more than the wipers ever did.

I finally got this running last fall.  The FAST system is still learning and so am I.  The motor has never been over 5000 and the shift points should be around 6000-ish.  Do to the overlap on the cam and how sensitive the IAC is I have the FAST idle set at 750 and opened the throttle blades to 750-800 (on the tach).  This was the best way to get a smooth idle otherwise it would tend to hunt (surge) because the IAC is sensitive.  The LS intake manifold is kind of cold blooded since it does not have any hot engine oil splashing on it.  When it is cool out I have had the idle stay high because the inlet air temp sensor gets cold soaked.  The idle and cruise are set at 14.4 air/fuel which is the cleanest setting for E10 which is only 6% ethanol (usually) according to reports from a person that does fuel testing at gas stations.

I have new header gaskets and longer bolts because I think there may still be a leak which could cause some incorrect readings on the O2 sensor.  The flanges on the collector have dead soft aluminum gaskets so I think those are good.

I have receipts for most of the important items.  If you do not have a laptop I can include mine, for programming the MSD.  It is a clone and my intent was to remove the badges when it got repainted.  When you make 500+ horsepower you don’t have to pretend that it is something that it's not. ;-)  I am selling this because I was off work for nearly 6 months and my finances took a significant hit.  The title is clear with no lien.

Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.

Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.
