    Jacking up your Blackwing

    To me the disconnect was with the version of the lift point guys were using. Originally, ZL1addons was offering the original and the stealth pad. After I sent them pics, videos and measurements showing the original point DOES NOT FIT, they pulled it off the website as compatible with CT5. The...

    Steel rotor brake pad replacement

    GM sells complete assembly. Ring, hat and hardware. You can reuse the hat if you want. And AFAIK, it’s the only way to get new hardware for the ring.

    Bleeding BW5 Supercharger

    I’ll try if I can get it to run in accessory only mode if I have time this weekend.

    Bleeding BW5 Supercharger

    No. Nothing will to be best of my knowledge. It’s a simple fuse now, not a relay like ZL1 and Z06.

    Needs moar sound

    Drive with your back seat folded down. And the windows open. The car is INSANELY loud from outside. I get comments all the time from people at events.

    QQ: what's latest status on magnesium wheels?!?

    Manual trans owners--both 4 and 5

    Bleeding the clutch is virtually never required under normal (and even spirited) use. The fluid simply doesn't get hot enough to present the same issue as boiled brake fluid. Saying you must replace fluid when it hit 2% is a made up number. What brand fluid? In what application? 90% of cars on...

    Quarter Mile and 60ft times Manual Transmission

    I'm not a drag strip guy. My only experience with the tree is at ProSolo events. Perhaps @WONT TAP will tell us what settings/procedures they use to launch?

    Manual trans owners--both 4 and 5

    You don't bleed the clutch in an Alpha chassis car. The procedure is 100 clutch pumps with the engine not running to cycle fluid.

    Quarter Mile and 60ft times Manual Transmission

    MY understanding of 'best drag' settings is Sport - Competitive Mode. Gives you 100% engine power, enables launch control (if you want it. I always found it to be slightly slow, but very consistent), and PTM 'disabled'. PTM is not desirable on a drag strip.

    Blackwing alignment

    Learned this lesson the hard way with camber plates on my SS 1LE. Sure it made it uber easy to change camber track-side, but there was no easy way to adjust the toe as a result of the new camber.

    CT5 BW CAI - Finally

    This intake is immediately a 'no' for me. It's got a cutout on the top of the lid. The CT5 hood doesn't seal against the top of the lid the way the Camaro does, for example. Means you are sucking hot air from engine bay right into the intake.

    Blackwing alignment

    Are you kidding? My 25, 21 and 20 yr old kids had to learn to drive a stick, change a tire, check their oil, etc before I would let them get their DLs. Can't tell you how many times in the last few years they tell me they are the only one of their friends who know how to do any of that stuff...
