Nice to see the thread back active. Your right been busy myself since my promotion. I got a throttle body spacer but not installed yet. Plenum spacer next week so will slap on at same time. Setting up a meet after memorial weekend.

Let's make it happen!

 

lately i have been really considering getting a C6 vette...

 

C5 brah..

'96, white, red leather, 6spd, targa top. Yessss

 

lol i dont wanna go older than my G haha. this may be the new daily lol. think itd be a smart move to pick one up with low miles?

 

I almost did when I bought the G. In fact I saw that vette (but it was a 95) on a little dealer lot and was there to buy the vette. Only reason I bought the G instead was cuz I wanted the extra interior room cuz I was driving a LOT at the time and I thought the vette was an OBD I car. I'm sure you know all cars were required to go OBD II in 96, but I later found out that the vette went to OBD II in 94. Damnit..

So yeah, my favorite modern Vettes are the 94-96. So sleak. I would have no problem getting one with decent miles now that I know they're OBD II. Any car that's OBD I is worthless as far as I'm concerned.

 

why is that exactly regarding obdII or I??

 

OBD II was light years more advanced than OBD I. Those early computers and sensors really didn't help much in terms of keeping everything safe. They were basically older type motors with crude new technology. Like a green screen apple computer compared to brand new iPhone. There's really no comparison. It took car companies years to learn how to use all the smog regulations and computer/sensor systems to their advantage. OBD I was pretty much just the test models.

For instance the highest hp IROC that ever came out had 220hp from a 350ci V8. That's insane. You would have to try to get less than 400 out of an LSx.

Those super cool smokey and the bandit Firebirds only had about 225hp from a 6.6L V8. The late 70s thru the early 90s were a really bad time for cars as far as technology was concerned.

 

Got it
That makes sense
I read on their forums that 95 vettes were running obd2 with obd1 software??
If that's true I wonder why

 

I'd never heard of that..not sure how that would work. So its like OBD I.5?

 

I'll find you the link one sec

 

Can anymore comment on the following... K&N drop in filter. Z-Tube, throttle body spacer and plenum spacer. Sure a thing about to much air?

 

No, but the tb spacer is a waste of money. Your engine is an air pump, it can only pump so much air. You're just trying to eliminate the work its doing to get that air.

 

I got a designed chao one for free already. So don't bother then huh

 

Sell it on eBay and buy some dice valve stem caps with the money.

 

You get a cool little whistle but that's about it. As far as I know I don't thinks it's detrimental. Might as well toss it on see how you like it since you got it for free anyways
