A non technical cinematic look at the evolution of a stock C5 via to near 600 RWHP. Then a little Dyno time followed up with a tangle with a C6 Z06 - all in the name of fun.
Make it a great day
Take a peek inside your Master Cylinder Reservoir. I did and was surprised at how NASTY my 2003 Corvette Brake Fluid was.
By the look of it - I am pretty sure it was 20 year old original fluid and so I had to flush it.
Here's HOW!
Street racing can wreck your life - and possibly others. Here is my PSA for 2023 and why to pass on racing on the street - and where you absolutely should race!
Thinking about upgrading your tool storage?
Recently, I reviewed pretty much every tool chest offering when looking to upgrade my setup. After several months of reviewing and actually handling the different brands - I settled on the 44" US General rolling tool chest and could NOT BE HAPPIER...
Most of us don't put a lot of thought into our vehicles Oil Filter - but it was time to take a fresh look at the options (AND I'M GLAD I DID!)
Let me know if you disagree!
The stock C5 has a respectable amount of horsepower there is no doubt. If you are 100% happy with 305 HP to the rear tires - then read no further.
But, if you want a major bump in power (+250 RWHP or so) then supercharging is difficult to beat in terms of Drivability, Reliability & additional...
I have an issue that has been going on for over a year. My 08 Tahoe runs fine with no issues. Anytime I have a Check engine light I can scan it with my autel MD806 Pro and find the DTC easy enough and correct the issue. If I try to scan the ECM's LIVE DATA - all kinds of dash light come on and...
I have been asked, "How much horsepower does it make?" more than any other question.
Now I can finally answer. This was also a ton of fun to set up and experience - highly recommended!
The T4L Supercharged 3800 Fiero set a new personal best in the 1/4 Mile yesterday against a C8 Corvette. My old personal best was 7 years ago (so it was time to change some things up) here is what I did!
If you ever thought about buying a C4 or C5 Corvette, you should figure out which one best fits you preferences, needs and budget. Here are the TOP 5 Reasons I chose the C5 Corvette over the C4.
Took the SC 3800 Fiero out on date night - (Wednesday Night Drag Racing) for a little fun and to dial in the tune a (AFR and Timing) little bit. These cars surprise a lot of people and they stop by to see what the little Fiero's power plant is. One guy was betting it was electric based on the...
The C5 Flip and Zip Tie Air Filter Assembly Mod is quite possibly the best budget mod ever devised for the C5. If your car still has a stock air filter setup, don't blow $500 on an aftermarket Cold Air Intake, take a close look at & consider the C5 Air Filter Flip and Zip Tie mod first!
I have had this 3800 Supercharged Fiero for quite some time and last winter it occurred to me that this car might actually be able to pull a wheelie.
Fast forward to summer (better traction) and I decided to take on this challenge and see what I would need to do in order to pull my very first...
C5 & C6 Rear suspensions are very similar. If you have had a rear end shimmy or wobble at higher speeds - or your rear seems to sometimes get a little squirrely (other than doing burn outs) you may have bad toe links. Here are the symptoms and a thorough diagnosis.
You learn a lot of things you didn't know about the C5 after owning it for a while.
These are the Top 10 things that come to my mind after 8 years of ownership!
Summer finally hit the midwest and that means it was well past time to spend a day at the track having some fun. Brought a friend with his heads and cam C6 Z06 for my Supercharged C5 to race. Tracks are drying up across the nation - get out and support yours (& have a blast!)
Went to an event & the SC 3800 Fiero drove like a BEAST.
On the way home, something happened & it lost a serious amount of BOOST!
Lets look at what happened, how to diagnose it and what the fix was!
This can happen to any GM product with the SC 3800 Series 2 (and probably Series 3 as well).
I recently had a friends (new to him) modified C6 Z06 in my shop to give it a once over from a C5 owners perspective & check to make sure the custom tune his car has is safe. I don't have a ton of experience with these - so of course I had to give it a good once over & and we went for a test...
Tuning your own GM vehicle with HP Tuners? Seems daunting... You've thought about it - but your not quite sure if your ready & up for the task.
Here's how to tell if your ready - and if doing your own tuning is the right decision for you!
Sooner or later, this happens to all of us. I was almost stranded in the Supercharged 3800 Fiero this past week. Out of the blue, leaving Best Buy I get a very slow starter issue. Almost didn't start. Sooner or later this happens to all of us & THIS is exactly how I diagnosed and FIXED the...
