Qwik6's 2001 Corvette

Alright. I finally got the vararam intake installed! Finished up this evening. It was definetly no walk in the park. I relocated the maf in front of the throttle body like the kit allowed me to. IT said to drive normal for 60 miles. I drove it for about 30 before going crazy. I could tell the car had like a loss of power for a second during light throttle during the first miles. But it worked itself out. Its almost like I strapped a turbo on with al the air forcing in. Around 45mph in 2nd gear is no joke when you hit the throttle. Definetly a big difference. When I got home the intake manifold and all the piping was ice cold.

I emailed the tuner. Hopefully I can get it in the shop here in a couple weeks. There is still something funny going on at the top end. Once it hits about 5000rpm's there is a miss kinda sound coming from somewhere. Whether it be the motor which I think it is.

I also installed some 8.5mm MSD wires.

Waiting on my hid kit to come in the mail. . .

I will post pic soon of the intake.
 
Here are some new shots of a few mods I did.

Installed HID low beams on the vette. Much brighter than the speed. :D

Brighter. Aligned. I did lower them a little today. Its HID 35w kit 6000k in a standard headlight. Its not going to be a clean light output. Lights up the road very nice. Its pretty damn bright looking at the car at night. But I havent had the high beams thrown at me so it must not be buggin the oncoming traffic. I also went with silver star ultras for the highbeams.

The clear corners came in this afternoon. I love them. They are pretty much a fog light now with the switchback leds in them. Did away with the old looking stockers that accumulate moisture.

I drove home today with an inch of slush on the ground with it snowing and raining at the same time. I was really glad that I had the MS6 and not my old Accord. They're predicting 12 inches total my Monday AM. I love the AWD, traction control, and ABS. Maybe someday I'll get V8, or even better V12, power. Not for my daily driver.
 
lol. I am actually debating holding on to the speed atleast until spring incase the weather gets bad.
 
ah. i see you have a vette sig today.. lol

i found this picture of your car looking for a picture of your tenzos... so hot.
