Re: Polycarbonate windows
Remember the LT5 required 690 CCA according to GM. So choose wisely or carry jumper cables[emoji16]

Google AGM vs Lead Acid battery for more information. It is pretty cold outside and my car is in the garage sitting for over 3 weeks. Car cranks strong, much stronger than the a/c delco that was in there before and fired right up. Besides that daily driving the car before it got too cold outside (no heat in my Z) I never had a problem with charging or starting the car. The battery Pete show's is stronger than mine and weights less by 4lbs. I should have gotten the PC950....argh!!!!

Yes the replacement battery at your local GM dealer parts department is a 650 CCA. After going through 2 of them in less than 5 years, I researched the LT5 690 CCA requirement. The battery that will look stock and fit the battery box is the AC Delco 75VPG Battery. O’Reilly has them for $132. Weight is 33.7lbs. Sent from my iPhone using ZR-1 Net Registry

Re: Polycarbonate windows
Go on a bread and water diet.
Likely reduce by 50- 75 pounds, and if you don't die, completely reversible after racing. The cars are pudgy; not much you can do about it, without consequence, at least significant improvement anyway. Add more go. Marty |
