Kinda strange.

You can also just stick the stem in your mouth and "SUCK ON IT BABY" and achieve the same thing.

I didnt enjoy the white silicone powder inside. Ask me how I know about that one? Jeffvette made me do it.

I'll bet you felt violated. Nothing worse than a forced BJ. Hehehe!

rick , i think your light flywheel is the reason your car feels different . i have one in my 90 and when you stab her from a roll,poof she is gone .the 92 has the stk unit still in her and feels much slow, but actually she isnt . just my 2 cents

I didn't think it felt slow. 395rwhp plus 3.92 gears headers/corsa. That thing was a neck snapper. It was a thrill to drive. Mine doesn't hold a candle to that one. And your black 90 is putting out somewhere in the 429rwhp range I think and with 4:10 gears. Pete's car is the fastest 350cu Z I've seen so far but yours are the 2nd fastest I've seen and driven. I've watched both you guys videos. There all over the net. I love watching them.

Yes they are expensive little buggers and they have a high fail rate out of the box. When you test them if they pull to one side vs. straight they are toast. A little hand pump (Calm yourselves) can determine that real quick.

GOLDCYLON is spot on. With a little vacuum gage/pump you can actually measure and see how well and SMOOTHLY the secondaries open. Often times they just stick a little that affects how fast they open. Unfortunately, you probably need to pull the plenum to hook it up. The vacuum pump is also an essential tool to identify and isolate any kind of small vacuum leak in the system.

You have to pull te plenum to check them. There's no other way. But pulling the plenum is no biggy.

Tom Henry Chevrolet. Tell them youre a ZR1 Registry member and you should be able to do better than $89.


*edit* in my original post I said "vacuum gauge" I meant vacuum pump. My Mighty-Vac has a gauge on it and I was thinking of that.**

Mine were installed backwards? (some controversy about that even). With the plenum off, I checked operation with a hand vacuum pump before turning the actuators over, and afterwards. There was a significant difference in operation after I put the actuators on "correctly". It took more vacuum & hung a little before opening completely, with the actuators installed "correctly". It was a no brainer, I returned them to the backwards? position.

I've not heard of any operational problems with actuators installed backwards?, other than it "just looks crooked."

Now what

I am going to hot wire my spare vacuum pump and then hook up the secondary vacuum lines (I have an extra roll of vacuum line) and see what they do

Besides that...I just ran my cell phone through the wash machine for five minutes......

If anyone is reading this....how does that black plastic under the radiator fit in place....I forgot that also.....da....this is one of those days
