WOW!!! The Board has grown. I haven't been around, due to work and stuff.
My Z has been sitting in my garage for awhile and is in need of maintence stuff that I've neglected.
I did a search on some parts and info but some stuff, I would like some opinions on.

Radiator....stock or a different brand?? Mine is still stock.
Brake Pads.....I have Cross Drilled Rotors.
OTVC.....Thunder Racing, can't find it on their web site.
52mm TB......what brand do you recommend??
Polyurethene Bushings......what brand??

Also, I recently moved and the neighborhood association sent me multiple letters stating that my Z is too loud. "Noise Pollution"....hahahaha. Anyway, I have a Borla Cat Back and love it but is there another exhaust that has performance gains yet quiet??

I'm also planning on redoing my struts, but my wife has been complaing about the harsh ride. Are there strurts that are softer??

What are good places to get parts??
I've been out of the loop.

Thanks~~

 

the only thing i can really help on is the throttle body. 52mm holley. i got one and it works great. jegs or ls1speed.com has them at a good price.

 

You registered in 1969? I didnt know they had the internet then HaHaHa.

 

how about the electric valve for the Borla, then you can close it when you get to you need to.

What's the electric valve for the Borla??
I have a Manual one that was custome made a few years back by Top Flight Corvette.
Where can I find one, I would like to get an Electric one.
Thanks.

 

I think this is the link. http://dmhperfproducts.homestead.com/borlaplate.html

Also, I got a ported stock throttle body and plug wires from Thunder racing. I have the Energy Suspension bushings in my front end, The ride didn't change much but on cold days they squeek sometimes

 

Obviously, they did.

With proper fan operation, I think a stock radiator is plenty good for most cooling needs. A complete brand new one is only ~$200, if needed.

 

Just my opinion based on others. I would shy away from the Holley TB. Trade yours in for a AS&M which is just a bored out 48.

I just bolted on my AS&M and good to go. I've heard others on this board complaining about the Holley.JMHO

 

Is it worth it to get a 48mm TB for a stock LT1??

 

Hey Mikey.....loong time no see.
I've been MIA also but saw your name.
If you're still on planning the SC set up go with the 48mm.
Personally no gains for me between the 52 and 48 for a stock set up.
