Welcome. I was also a customer at Gotham backing the day.  I even spent the night at someone's lake house when my car wasn't finished in time.  Good times.

Just more data.  Corvette fpr and 044.  58 psi at idle,  slight dip on load but returns and maintains pressure.   I keep a gauge mounted on the end of my rail.

Being  a boomer, I don't have any social media so I usually miss out or hear of too late, but damnit, not this time.  Just bought my entry fee for the NA street car class!!!!   They're doing 40-60mph roll racing to 1100ft in front of the grand stands.  Guess I have to go put my heads back on the car asap lol.  Hope to see some of yall there.

General Tech / Re: Dorman ls2 intake?
« on: May 25, 2018, 09:59:57 PM »
Nice. This intake and my firewall did not play nice together. I am going to take some material out of it (the entire vacuum port area) and try to get it on the car.

I had to cut off the map sensor location on the rear, seal it, and extend my harness to the front of the intake.

I put down 450rwhp with the Dorman 615-901.  It was flowing decent on the big end carrying a flat hp curve.

General Tech / Re: Back from the dead and have a Throttle Cable question
« on: February 16, 2018, 06:11:58 PM »
I think I figured it out myself.  Got bored and looked up photos of the FD pedal assembly.  Looks like there's a pedal stop that I can mill down to allow more pedal travel  :bacon: :bacon:

General Tech / Back from the dead and have a Throttle Cable question
« on: February 16, 2018, 12:15:37 PM »
What's up everyone?  :wave:  Probably been a few years since I've posted.  I've just been busy letting the car collect dust.   I got a wild hair up my ass a few months ago and slapped a set of PRC 225 heads and topped it off with a dorman 615-901 intake and 92mm Nick Williams throttle body.  Problem I'm having is that my throttle cable travel isn't enough to fully actuate the throttle body blade. :scratch:  I've adj the cable ends.  I can either have it closed and only open 90% or have it open 100% and stay 10% open.  Whats the trick to get more travel? 

Thanks in advance
Kyle

Pics and Videos / My 7 showcased on Quinton TV
« on: April 11, 2016, 11:51:33 AM »
I got asked to make a video of my car by Quinton TV and had it posted up this morning.  I have a side bet with a friend that has the DMC DeLorean on there as to who can get the most views, so make sure to give mine a watch lol.
 
Thanks

I built my car in '05.  Does that mean 0% norotors?

Pics and Videos / Cars & Coffee cruise with 2 Vipers and my 7.

Had a buddy call and asked if I wanted to cruise out to Killeen's first C&C meet with him and a buddy.  So I knocked to dust off, rounded out the flat spotted tires, and saw some pretty cool cars.  One of the guys made a pretty good video.  Check out his other videos too.  Small car review channel with a feature of my car coming later.

I heard the guy off camera says it's Jesus Christ's.  I'd ask him or that Ryan Dao guy in the comments that seems to know the car.

Pics and Videos / CCM 24: COTA Parade Laps
« on: January 24, 2016, 08:49:01 PM »
Thought I'd throw a link up to yesterday's Cupcake Meet 24 parade laps around Circuit of the Americas.  It was nice just to get the car out and drive it.  I'm ashamed of how long it sits in between knocking the cob webs off  :(  Luckily they had an 80mph limit, because my summer tires weren't liking the 32 degree temps  :drive:

I wanna say the door frame sticker says '92 on mine but it's titled as a '93.


edit:  Actually it was built in 2/92.  I have an EARLY chassis  :secret:
