This isn't a Corvette, of course, but the theory and basic steps will be the same....

So, when you install rotors with slots cut into them, which is the correct way to do that?

Great stuff...I put a set of the rotors on mine when I did the hawk pads but did not do anything with the calipers. I like those E-3 plugs. I just put new plugs in 2 weeks ago. Next time I will check those out. Due to the big cam and all the other mods I do go through some plugs...

Yeah, I've been spending a LOT of time looking over "how-to" videos on the web while working on my own car and getting to one "how the hell do I..." spot after another, so I figured I should go ahead and document those finds that others may need sooner or later themselves.

I think as long as I don't get myself into a predicament where welding is required to fix something I have broken, I'll be OK.....

BTW, I may have a set of those E3 plugs laying around if you want them. I bought a spare set for the C5Z, but when the STS turbos were installed, I couldn't use them because I needed a colder heat range, and the fixed gap is not compatible with forced induction. So if you want them, PM your mailing address to me and you can have them.

This isn't a video, but a good tutorial, nonetheless....

Thank you very much Rich...

I received the plugs today. Next time I have a chance to run it on a dyno I might install them to see how much of a difference they make. Their web site claims as much as 10 H.P. They sure are a wild looking plug....I owe you a beer or two but if I remember right ( St Augustine) you don't drink...so maybe a soda or two

Glad they showed up OK.

Actually, it would be fun to do St. Augustine again sometime...
