1st to 4th

[Nick Cipriano]

has anyone installed the chip that iliminates the 1st to 4th thing the newer vettes have. Its very anoying for me and the after market people sell a plug in that is supposed to be an in exspensive east install?

Nick,it's a 5 minute job:however,you need the car on a lift.Next time you get an oil change is a good time.

Come on Nick, drive it like a Z06 and it will never bother you! It's only gonna get in your way if you are shifting to 2nd at 1200-1500 RPM's..... and that's way too soon to be shifting that car. :D :D :D

My boys pointed out to me, that on LS1.com under Mods, there are instructions on how to by-pass the CAGs. the parts cost less than two dollars can be located at Radio Shack.

The parts are 2200 or 2.2K ohm ½ watt (Radio Shack), Electrical Tape and Tie Wrap. It takes about 10 minutes to do and costs less than two dollars.

That CAGs bypass is a real pain in traffic and was the first mod to my Vette.

Glenn,I have to disagree with you.On my '99 FRC,the 1-4 was not
a problem.However,on the Z06,the difference in gear ratios between the M6 & M12 boxes really makes the 1-4 very annoying and very inconvenient.I never had the CAGS on the '99 but it was
the 1st thing I put on the '02 almost immediately!

Norm,you are correct;however,the bottom line is that the biggest
obstacle is not the price,but getting underneath the car.

What's this CAGS thing??? Just step on the gas and the light goes out!!! :D :D :D :D :D And for Richy and Norm your 4th gear is like our 2nd , so I see no problem!!!! :D :D :D

Richie

Norm,Joel,The car is unreal.Norm,I'm sure you know already what
a blown car is like,but this is the 1st car I've ever had with an after market sc.When you floor it,there is a roar from the back that sounds like a bull elephant being gored to death as all that
excess air is exhausted thru the Corsa's & things get very small in the rear view mirror very quickly.

I looked at the dash of my 65 and don't see any shift light.

That's cause your '65 is a "real" Corvette! My favorites of em all, the C2's

[Don Lemek]

Somebody just told me they did build a corvette after 67!!!!!!!!
is that true????????????

[Bill Burkholder]

Yes it's true... I guess when you get old you forget what cars you have owned... Remember the blue conv. you had with no rag top just the frame ??? 69 , 70...???? :D :D :D :D :D :D

[Don Lemek]

[Bill Burkholder]
