I finally have Kaoss (Killer) back in my hands again. I picked it up this morning...ran 3 miles down the road to get tires balanced and alignment for good measures and then vroom vroom for about 40 mins down I-95 from Pompano to Miami this morning listening to the sweet sound of sidepipes and I...

The mechanic that did the first install did say if it was not his fault he would cut me a deal on the labor. Hell...I have spent probably close to $8K with them over the past 4 years and always paid bill on time so hopefully they will cut me some slack.

I got some great news from the guys at Centerforce today!!! I am getting a complete new clutch assembly from them. I sent them off all my parts, etc. for evaluation and possible warranty claim if it was due to defective parts. They discovered some of the fingers on the pressure plate varied...

quick mini-update.... I took the clutch assembly to Horse Power Sales of Pompano (forum sponsor of the Corvette Drag Racing Challenge Series and widely known for producing many amazingly fast C4~C6 vettes). I wanted a totally independent opinion on what was going on since my knowledge of...

Thanks guys for the great help and details on how to identify the parts and do some simple checks/measurements. I can confirm that I have a short TO bearing. I spoke with the 2nd mechanic that did the 2nd clutch install and he confirmed the adjustable clutch pivot ball was already set to...

would having a too short of TO bearing cause this problem? I ordered a 1.125 TO bearing as per Centerforce but now I see that some other companies say it should be a 1.375 TO bearing such as Hayes? My concern is that the new clutch seems to be both not wanting to fully disengage (grinds...

What happened to my clutch? I recently had a new Centerforce LM series clutch installed. I have about 1,500 miles on it. When I first picked up the car from the mechanics it seemed as if all was good as it was super smooth and easy to press in. Well...sure enough a few hundred miles later it...

I got a new GM OEM stock L88 steel flywheel along with a complete Spec Stage 3 cltuch setup on the way. It has a Lakewood SFI bellhousing on it so all is good there incase I ever do grenade the flywheel/clutch. Thanks for the tips & suggestions....

We got the clutch/tranny out to see what happened. Looks as if the stock L88 flywheel was re-surfaced in-correctly on a slant/angle??? It has severe burn/scorth marks on one side with several stress cracks running right through the steel. I don't have the monies to burn up another fancy LM...

I had a new light metal centerforce clutch (3lbs lighter than stock clutches) installed about 1,500 miles ago. All has been good relatively until this morning when all of a sudden I could no longer push the clutch pedal more than 0.5" before it felt like I was pushing on a brickwall. When I...

Just a quick update...I discovered the current clutch is only rated for 425ftlbs torque so that is the reason why it burned up so quickly since I am pushing 400rwhp which is 500+crank HP. I spoke with Centerforce and I am going with their new Light Metal clutch. Its not cheap but is rated for...

The clutch just started slipping so I need your help on a new clutch. I have Chris McSpeed's (aka Killer) 69 vette and it has an awesome 454 bored 60 over edelbrock fuel injected 540HP engine with the stock lightweight 14lbs L88 flywheel. He said he went through like 3 different clutches/brands...

When the headlights are up...they are not 100% fixed and the bucket assembly has a very slight wiggle that flickers the headlights while driving down the road. I looked for some type of stop/adjustment but i could not find anything when they are in the up position...I found the adjustment nut...

Sorry guys...I have got some bad news. This project is dead as of about a week ago due to the vendors shipping company losing my transmission and then a number of other issues with the vendor/shipping company. I am currently awaiting a full refund. In theory...all the parts listed above should...

I have done some research and it seems as if the general rule of thumb is about 85% of 14.7:1 => 12.5 AF ratio results in maximum HP. If all goes well tonight and the guy has time tomorrow I will be getting my carb tuned Friday as we switched to E10 gas recently and now I am getting some...

thanks for the link...here is a stupid question. How many do I need?

I am very new to dailing in the bellhousing using dowl pins. With the assistance of a couple of friends who are more knowledgable about this transmission stuff we will be doing a custom 6 speed swap using a QuickTime, Inc. Bellhousing. I called QuickTime and of course they say that because...

I got my compression check done and spoke with the mechanic this morning. The results were interesting and leads to me question if my engine was ever rebuilt with lower compression 9:1 vs. stock 11:1 L46. I have a 69 L46 that supposedly was rebuilt in 1991 with around 9:1 compression which was...

Thanks Gary...much appreciated. When the shop did my ROD6 conversion they were so kind to mix-matcht the u-joint size with the drive shaft flanges. Not that it seems to have caused any problems that I have noticed...just that it does not seem functionally correct having 1 u-joint with 1310 &...
