Yes.....feeling rather lucky that my IAC's vary between 12-17 as mentioned....but more @12-14......does put a smile on my face.....I know many of you have some great mods done with porting....cam changes and more....but for me....I am really enjoying how the LT5 performs in its stock form....and for now.....that is just fine with me......

The Hurst is a pain in the *** to install especially with the trans in the car. I’ve done several. Just did the current one a couple weeks ago, but that was with the trans out. Worth every frustrating minute though. After you install a short shifter, shifting a stock unit seems like rowing a boat.

Thanks.....yes it is a good feeling to have everything working and performing the way it was designed to......

Yes....I have heard about the Hurst shifter install and thanks for the tip on sanding the powder coat off.....but this will be a WAZOO job when it can fit into a future WMD to be determined.....I have sat in quite a few members Z's with different shifters and yes....what a big difference from stock.....I know it will give the vehicle a whole new feel.....
