Talked with  a Vietnam vet last fall outside conners steakhouse in Franklin Tn that was good friends with him and said he’s been there at his home when the 160th would buzz his house and always active duty old men showing up for dinner so still connected

No he doesn’t that’s blasphemy

a lsa blower on a ls motor in a zr1 would be like a Detroit diesel in a Duesenberg or a Honda k series with a turbo in a 67 Muria … you just don’t do it or why would you want to slow it down….

So parts that Big Don didn’t inform you of …so I’ll do this
Myself and Chad are both Zr1 snobs… we raced them when new and built cars to destroy them… I remember my first 11 second pass in my mustang on street tires and I had this feeling now what…
So here goes
Gm bought lotus and at the time the world was saying American couldn’t build a sports car or even a dependable car
Gm called up lotus formula one team and said we need a high reving v8 at 350 cubic inches for a world beating sports car…why didn’t they say 427 anyway
So they did… car is 4 inches wider in the rear starting at the front of the doors one inches shy of a Testarossa but lower than the red head.
It got a Dana 44 plus 3.45:1 gear
Larger input shaft on the zf transmission that has a .50 sixth gear
Rear wheels of 9.5 inches from a base model put in the front
New 11 inch wide rear wheels for the rear
These cars get 275/45/17 in the front 315/35/17 rear
Twin fuel pumps and an extra key on the dash to active full power mode
Suspension has 3 position switch to active the stepping motors on top of all 4 bilstein shocks but computer controls all 18 positions this system cost bilstein over a million in development for the Porsche 959
Larger springs and larger sway bars than a base model
Z51 13 inch front snd 12 inch rear rotors
Different sport seats than a base model
Bose stereo system
Reflective tint on glass especially windscreen that was later found to reflect police radar which corvette denied doing on purpose
Now the engine and why it’s the only special engine corvette has ever had until the lt6 in next summers z06

All aluminum lt5, 32 valve quad cam 350, buckets and not followers and no pushrods to float at 8k rpm, 12 quart oil system, at high rpm water pump flows over 100 gpm, 3 throttle body butterflies, one 25 mm for driving around town and twin 58’s when progressive blades need to kick in… now in full power mode ecu actives secondary fuel pump , actives the extra 8 intake runners and 8 extra fuel injectors… crank is in the block not like any other v8 hanging off the main caps… 90-92 cars make 375 and 385 torque, 93-95 cars make 405 and 385 torque but we’re under rated for insurance purposes and to beat the world which they did…
Porsche, BMW, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati all fell victim to the zr-1
Skid pad, braking, 1/4 mile, road course and also endurance…. I’ll post endurance video in a moment from you tube
 
So here’s a video of mine 1st gear hit at 4500 to a buck twenty

https://drive.google.com/file/d/180SF7jLD3uOTHQeXs0wTXvnzn4lDcRyy/view


after I got it and went back through Mexico
At time k&n filter chip and a borla old school stainless cat back and an innovate lm2 wideband
Bad coils or wires also had a couple bad injectors because pre 93 injectors are not e10 safe , car was running 10.7 air fuel ratio and fuel would burn you eyes so rich…. Even with a miss at the time I could still balance a nickel on the plenum while idling… one of the cars claim to fame

So since then new injectors, electromotive coils, plugs, ngk wires, Baer aluminum hat rotors around 15 to 20 lbs lighter,  ram twin disk clutch with aluminum flywheel 26 lbs lighter, DeWitts radiator, new wheel bears times 4 new u joints , new shocks, new tires, and the boxes for my girls Christmas today.
She’s getting silicone intake tube, silicone hoses, ported intake and injector housing, new ignition module , knock sensor, header gaskets so I can remove the stock 1 3/4 in trade for the no cat 2 inch coated set, cut outs electronically controlled by full power mode, and this spring looks like a Detroit locker with 4.10:1 gears unless I can get a tail housing for the gear vendor overdrive I have…then it’s going like 4.56 etc…

So how do they run I’ve beat up on
392 chargers
5.0 coyote mustangs all versions
Not one but 2 gt350’s one second gear hit another in 5th
Challengers
Had a zl1 spin he was highly ticked because I lifted top of 3rd and he still hadn’t caught up
Ran a new z-28 but top of 3rd he only had a car and a half
And top of 4th ran a c7 grand sport with k&n exhaust and a tune and he got me like 2 1/2 to 3 from a 30 roll car was going into 5th… was making a little more hp and weight about the same
All new muscle is heavy might make 500 but I’m close to 1000 lbs lighter…


Endurance history video of record beating run

No power adder stroker making a pass down the road from bowling green assembly plant and the museum …. As we call it Mecca for corvette

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZrNvJxDD-0

But the best part is the sound it’s a symphony of mechanical harmony that goes from a sweet romantic tune to pure spitting hate madness at the drop of a dime..

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl-tU44kABY

Plus mine has now 142k and has only one rattle, rides better than a new car with no vibrations and handles unlike any car I’ve ever been in… I grew up in the mountains of NC and went back this summer snd couldn’t make is scream in a corner and I tried it just went…you have to remember these cars did almost one g on the skid pad on gatorbacks in 1990…. We have real tires now

Enjoy the videos of Don’s future car

Awaiting my block of instructions on how to load pictures from an iPhone so I can square you guys away ….

Yeah I’ll figure out how to post pictures to help you guys out as for in the attic could run exhaust to shed shop etc or run in attic then instead of fan just blowing out it gets plumbed into a pvc manifold with ducts to attached garage or into the house through ceilings

So found this video when this happened in 2014
I was the 9th view and my mom was the 23rd we lost her June of 16 and a few months ago was at 153 views
So ticked me off it’s not viral some retard hitting himself in the boy parts can be at a million views but our door kickers, pipe hitters and boot wearers that lost there lives get zero respect and when they fall or do exceptional things in war don’t get a notice from the mockingbird media
So I put it on telegram and was at 1850 in just 24 hours then watched it fall and rise over a week and now has been hovering at 2200
100% proof you tube is full of it…
They don’t want it seen … libtards

So back story the women at cif put out for boot donations for a memorial on Ft Campbell
They made tags for all servicemen from all branches fallen between 9/11 and fall of 14
Each had a picture, name, rank, hometown tied to each of the 7000 boots…

So help a guy not on social media spread to the ends of the earth
cause I’ll tell you this republic will not fall

I just saw Don has a wood fired boiler…. Don this is for clean exhaust only no fuel oil furnace or a wood stove exhaust no sort of funk allowed in core

So built this 12 years ago and still keeping my shop at 76 degrees or higher if I’m running the guts out of my tig welder….
So what is it ….free heat …. If you have a natural gas furnace your wasting more than half of what your paying for gas to heat your home… they put some rating scale on it but any furnace can benefit from this build….
I set up shop in my basement an for a few years froze to death down there…On testing day chest level  was 53 degrees and concrete floor was way colder… This on a 32 degree day, the 4 inch click together furnace exhaust pipe was always dripping water on my work bench which was another reason…

Now I drilled a small hole in the inducer fan outlet where it went from 2 inches to 4 and put my temp probe into and it read 286 degrees after about 35 feet of dripping double wall pipe and walked outside to find inside the Chinamans hat was reading 134 over the ambient 32 degree day…

Now the build
I had an aftermarket bar and plate intercooler that was on a 240sx from the junkyard car was never finished so new unit.
Core is 12x24 and 3 inches thick but had small 2 1/4 inlets on the cast tank so went to the metal recycler and bought this huge intercooler from a 18 wheeler all I needed was the cast inlets

So I cut off the baby endtanks fabbed my own out of 1/8 inch aluminum and welded on the v shaped inlets and outlets that formed to 3 1/2 id round holes.
Then built a mount to attach to the ceiling
I then removed inducer fan and welded on a 2 inch stainless 90 and then attached this with a t bolt clamp onto the connection pipe …..

Connection pipe
starts as a 3 inch kiddie fire extinguisher bottle upside down (need a condensation drain) the bottom has a 3/8 barb fitting welded on and top which was the bottom of the bottle is cut off and this welded to just aluminum 3 inch intercooler pipe it turns and goes to intercooler where it is welded on… now half way up the fire bottle is a 2 inch aluminum pipe that slides over the stainless piece and sealed with orange rtv and secured with said t bolt clamp I mentioned above

Now intercooler is mounted perpendicular to the floor and has a 12x 24 box riveted to the core on one side and sealed with that fancy aluminum foil tape one end has a hvac duct that goes from rectangle to a 5 or 6 inch round hole that is where a Jenn aire downdraft range box fan is mounted… think it pulls 1/3 hp so it’s a little fan your hand over outlet can cavitation it so not that stong
The intercooler tank furthest away from furnace has a thermostat from an attic fan mounted inside in a small compartment And then cord just plugs in the outlet
Found original one not a good idea it has steel parts and rusts so go with something different … I ended up just removing and when I switch on heat in fall plug in fan and it just runs all winter been that way about 6 years…

Intercooler outlet
Now it simply has 3 inch sch 40 pvc pushed in and sealed with rtv goes back about a foot and turns 90 and travels in different lengths outside and same chinamans hat pushed on.
Now both inlet and outlets have barb fitting to drain as well as the bottom for fire bottle all of these have coiled up 3/8 rubber hose to act as a catch like under your sink…. They fill with water and keeps carbon monoxide from killing you….

So results half way through cycle of furnace the outlet of fan has been blowing 107 degrees every winter for 12 years besides this basement is toasty and furnace runs about 30 percent less than without because basement heat is warming floors upstairs…

So every furnace has a pressure switch which sense a blocked exhaust putting a barb fitting after intercooler stops that ….

Now pvc melt temp is up close to 400 and after the intercooler core pulls all the heat electrons out it’s just a few degrees over ambient shop temp if I decide to stay here and not move to NC into my parents farm I’m building a 30x30 garage and I’ll turn exhaust into it and through another one of these and then back outside….

Condensation sucks , I reclaim about 5 to 6 gallons in fall and early spring then cold winter 10 to 12 gallons a day.   I could run a hose from around to the pump for the ac system but I just let it drip into a bucket and flush the toilet with it downstairs or just into the deep sink….
A 3 inch flapper valve controlled to kick on when inducer fan would work but if it fails your poisoned…
I lost a friend to CO poisoning and I don’t play with it

I would do all patient stuff but all it takes is some Chinese guy in a cave to change this 10 percent
And I’ve wasted 25k and some crooked lawyer got a boat.

Now sizing core yeah bigger is better with a huge surface area but my shop is 60x12 and 12x12 around the corner of the office and is only about 80 to 85 degrees exiting the core your not cooling down a cat or a big Detroit diesel… now my garage is packed with car parts etc so when all that metal heats up it stays warm
If you want to build one I’ll answer your question’s
I’ll check on this thread for responses
way way way into the future if you can’t find me Big Don has my number …

So I’ll have self control on here because some things I just want say….now at a bbq I’ll drop the hammer… I will tell one and should have put it above just funny looking back….
So the cobra snake he had and I’m sure you guys have heard about the car that could tilt the earths axis 14 degrees upon launch and how deep the paint was and the 1/4 inch 8 inch gold cadmium plated bolt young Donald got him for Christmas he used as a turn signal stalk…It was all that and a bag of chips…. Well it was all of us wanted it…Actually thought about finding that car and buying it more than once….. paint you could step in to and the brass windscreen mounts shook violently at speed under hard acceleration …. Then the sound oh the sound it sounded like spitting hate above 4K but small blocks above 400 cubic inches do that ….


 So he called one morning to come over need help we’re changing header gaskets…. We’ll I’m on the floor reaching up around the side pipes and he’s up top and we’re making progress …. Then I start screaming he doesn’t move but he keeps wrenching I guess like he flys but he did ask what’s wrong…. I’m like YOUR STANDING ON MY (Adjective heavy ) HAIR… before moving he says well you need a hair cut anyways and starts laughing…. I roll up from under that road scrapper and there lays a few hundred strands and he starts laughing like he’s at a show in Vegas….

So I have to add to this one….Don will love this
Myself my daughter my soon to be ex her mom stepdad and sister all went to Disney fall break of 15
If it was in the last few woke years I’d be in a cage under Disney….
So there all hungry and we walked into one of the counter service restraints for lunch… Yes restraints it’s right behind the castle and your hearded like sheepel into your feeding pen
Girls were getting a table and me and the ex’s stepdad went for the food….
I walk in first and he’s to my left side. The guy in front had like a 3 year old and a 5 year old in front and his wife was beside him….

I’m looking at his T-shirt and it said Battle of Mogadishu and had the unit patches of the 160th, Group and the 75th Rangers…. I was like where did you get the Irene t shirt…
No response
Then hey where’d you get the 160th t-shirt
No response
and father in law smacked my left hand and gave me a look, I gave him one back
And said Hey! Where’d you get the operator tshirt in my army voice!!!
No response
Then I tapped his shoulder and repeated where’d you get the 160th shirt
His young butt turned to me and said it’s a battle of Mogadishu t-shirt not a 160th
I was like well a guy I met a few times name is on the back
He was driving Super 61 Chief Wolcott and met Mike driver of Super 64 after he got back while in rehab for my shoulder at Bach on ft Campbell. He just said sorry and turned away and started to move away but can’t….
I was like so we’re you there you might know some of my group buddies Sgt Nelson or Chief Corrigan
No response and trying to move… army voice again What unit were you in and he made up some transportation unit and said that’s where he got his first Purple Heart, I’m a disabled vet … I researched later that unit doesn’t exist…. I was well I’m 46 come tomorrow and was 22 when those boys got hung out to dry and I look young but you look crazy young like 15 years to young … father in law was like let’s go… In my army voice you can me and this old soldier are having a conversation… next Army voice statement was how old were you then and the ugh ugh ba ba Ugg’s started to come out then I was like how old were you when your kids were born. Guys I was on him then asked to see his VA card … Oh I don’t have one I was well I do so you got a drivers license so I can see your name so when I can put you on the list of stolen valor a@&hats on the internet…. Only reason your wearing it is to move to the front of the line you piece of $&@“…. They’re pushing though line now with a purpose and I jumped the rail still going off yelling prove me wrong, prove me wrong , prove me wrong next thing I know Disney security is around me. Sir is there a problem, yeah he just stole a mans honor because when oct of 93 happened his mom was still popping zits on his baby smooth butt from his diaper rash… next year he’ll be wearing a Disney security uniform … I then had a couple guys stand up and tell them no problem here officers and another said well done I’m 82nd I said 101st another said we’ll airborne guys I’m such and such air wing…. Security just walked off.

One of the best days I ever had a Disney. but looking back only us old service guys understood everyone else just were looking down or away , my daughter was sitting there with a sick grin….

I looked at her after lunch when we’re going on a ride and said never be ashamed to be patriotic….

And maybe some inspirational video for you Chief

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bkZAMjMJUH4

 Fact check and he called me a liberal
Patriots don’t get fact checked




So riddle me this big Don
Why are there so many 160th videos popping up on you tube with the guys training landings on luxury yachts
Why did they go carting a popcorn bag out to a hawk on Wiltshire Blvd same night largest fentanyl bust in Long Beach harbor the country have ever seen.
Why did division birds fly down into titan stadium 2 weeks ago
why have I had six pack guys along with Dap birds cruising the valley in behind the house in black out drive for a year….
Why was Chris giving a mission brief for 8 hours on 15 Jan to 5 and regiment
Why so many retired guys got an invite to the party in Jan
Why didn’t the turds try and attack Arlington while statues were coming down (scared I say)
Why did Mr T land in a airbus at ftcky on April 16 with draco escorts then go to Michael a af
Why are there so many sun coast airline birds and other commercial birds almost daily at KHOP
Why are the 182’s landing at both
When did your boys go buy a10’s they were parked there 2 weeks ago
When did you ever see the whole d all go to the back 40 all at once for 3 weeks
And lastly what do you do with almost 1/4 million gallons of jp4 daily average for 2 weeks….but only a few birds flying

Our little brothers are doing work that’s why and we’re taking back what’s ours
GOD WINS

Liberal my $&@ flight suit still fits and has been hanging up with my boots and go bag since last November …
I would ask for a signed copy of your book but my liberal mk ultra brain can only read words with 7 letters or less
Should I quote Q so you believe me

Who’s Don??? 

I’m looking for a guy named chief Zeak his nick name is “Torque”, or “danger close”
son’s names are Mac and Mickey and daughter’s name is Callie Lou.

And thanks hope I get to see him around here… only saw a post he did years ago and just like something he use to say … and only guy I ever saw say it….

And besides my old Z I bought my daughter another car to keep her Jeep in better shape than she has and to many memories of her and him in it …. So I’ll always be driving the short bus…. Yes limited run dune color 2 door I built for her 16th birthday.

So first post here and just happened upon your home away from home
But here to roast a certain Warrant Officer.  Prepare Chief heat rounds inbound
So when I found this place I was like Bunch of God fearing Patriots and also gearheads what could be better.
So first me…. Old crewchief that’s had alot happen in the last few years…But still standing guess God has a purpose….
Started explaining but just can’t I won’t sleep and will start screaming for the next two weeks if I do….
But while in the army and afterwards always hung out with the Tier 1 guys I guess adrenaline junkies flock together…
5th Group guys and guys on the dark side of the airfield….but it’s entertaining knowing those types but always there when you need them.
Worst day of my life happened and it was those guys that were there to help. My daughters gymnastics coach and my chiropractor were both horse soldiers and when they heard just showed up
One actual moved away in the 90’s and sent me a message that I didn’t see for a month but it was just a few days after the accident and we’ve been talking and texting since…. Guess God told him… we lost my future son in law and would trade places in a heartbeat

John 15:13
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends

He wasn’t my friend but my son.
Had already gave him my moms rings and told them they’ll be the 8th generation to own the family farm …. We got it for our activities in the last revolution…

So my log in name yes bought an old zr1 back a few years ago…. Always wanted one and helped my pilot buddy build his z07 base model back in the day…. But his was pimp red with red guts and we always asked when his zuit suit was being delivered.   When I saw this car I knew it was meant to be white red guts and the old school Borla’s like we hung under his but there was no way I’d ever get a base model I no how violent people get when you break off a tap in a head just chasing threads and I had to get a older than 93 because that was the first year of the key fob and no way I’d do that because if I’m on base and lay my keys on the targa and walk off someone could take it and leave it running in the middle of an active runway …. But I’ve not seen or heard from him since like 2000 and only seen and talked to his son who I ran around with a few times but it happens… work life kids etc
But I’ll tell you those regimental types on the dark side of the airfield can pull some stunts this one guy would cruise into work about 11:20 challenge a young pilots knowledge and instantly be eating lunch for free actually a good idea and I’ve done it as well lesson learned so was instrumental in my growth but somethings I didn’t think I would ever do but fall of 14 I became as old as my late brother and hit me hard so I dug a ditch and built my daughter a 60 ft trampoline inground but not as bad as my buddy he came back from a deployment bought a John Deere and started digging a huge crater in the front yard it wouldn’t hold water so he dug 3 or 4 in the back yard….guy even buried his son’s small block Ford engine under the driveway …. Guess gravel was expensive…. But the entertainment was fun for a lot of years…. The absolute best was the day he filled up his son’s Cbr 600’s muffler with uncle bens rice….every time I see an old cbr I almost wreck seeing rice blow out at a 40 degree angle….

So you know who you are chief have you figured me out yet
Also Sgt Nelson says hi he’s the 5th group guy that contacted me that week …oh and he has a pimp red zr1, I’m a bad influence, and his old man finally gave him the 55 Chevy they started on in 83.  Saw Norfleet a few years ago he was going for his silver bar in the police department and has a new baby yeah at 48 and Redmond is still running the tree service and is booked out about around 6 months out for the last 10 years…. Do not tell your boy with the fabulous eyes you were contacted Chad and I are in contact with his wife and have a surprise in store for him and Talley….soon

So your highly trained little brothers are busy and doing work … not long now

I would love to have 3 copies of that print I had framed for you of the helmet wearing aviator….
   My late son in laws dad is retired from the 60 company and still running as a civilian up there and his brother is in AIT at ft Eustis heading to green platoon in March and we’ll I want one ….

and I’ll need your address I’m going to have some long sleeve black tshirts printed with some high performance options for the 90’s logo put on them…. My buddy Larry besides being gymnastics coach has a print shop

Love you brother been way to long. give me a pm and I’ll get you my number and Chad’s as well….

Here’s to our buddies still out on missions
