Sorry to go off topic here, but it looks like most (if not all) of your cars were supercharged... basing on that, I'm sure it won't be long before the sedan goes the FI route . What happened to you S/C vette? That must've been a lot fun.

About the Eibach pro kit, yeah I now see that you mentioned it in the first post... when I looked back at it the previous time I just looked at the "parts installed" section, and it wasn't listed there.

Nah, I have owned many turbo and twin turbocharged vehicles as well.. (3 MR2 turbos, Dodge Stealth R/T twin turbo, 3000GT VR4, 300ZX TT etc etc...

I do prefer supercharging with aftermarket F/I.

I sold the Z06... I kick myself everyday for selling it

Here's some pictures of the Z06...

Only *after* the point of injection....

The correct term for that phenomenon is "reversion" and it is caused by the fuel and air seperating because the fuel sticks to the smooth surface. This leads to a potential lean condition. The polishing work I did was pre-injection point (done before the point of fuel being injected). I know pictures would be worth a million words...
Anyone know where the injection point is?

At the bottom of the intake manifold, at the injectors.
