Joy after Heartache! Specs. 2004 GTO Built 346ci, Stage 3 Heads, Custom Cam, Intake, Stage III Fuel system, TH400 swap, Bigstuff3, OFI Single Kit, T76 Qtrim @18psi. Car still has A/C and is fully loaded. Only thing I removed was the cruise control and traction control.
My time has come... Only thing left to do is install custom driveshaft spacer, bigger injectors and manual boost controller. We are leaving early friday morning to Murillo Motorsports to get it tuned by Mr Murillo himself then from there we are driving to Tulsa to run in the clash. Well to get kicked out.....Cause I have no cage..
Here is a vid. *Note I put the oil sender in and forgot to tighten the fitting all the way down and it was leaking as you can see in the vid But its fixed and zero issues.

160lb injectors were ordered this morning and will be here before we head the SA friday, Might not need 160lb injectors but I will never have to get another injector ever again plus I could throw some E85 at it one day and see how she runs.

You taking another set of Inj. with ya just in case??
I agree with Jerry that is a HUGE injector for not even knowing what kind of power the car will make...
FYI i made 1100 rwhp with 96#ers.. Was at 88% DC with a base FP of 43psi.
Whens the cage go in???
Good luck

After all of the months of antagonistic comments and build problems, your car had better be BADDASS when it is done. However, if things don't work out, the forums will still be here to help, no matter how many arrogant combative posts you have started.

I have a set of Chrome Camaro Rims and I am picking up some ET Streets today for them. I have access to some skinnys so I should be good 
The cage will be the next thing going in, just as soon as I can find someone to bend the tube how I want it.

Ok a little update. Made it to the dyno. Had issues with the car pulling past 5k. After 5k it would fall on its face and I could only get a max of 9-11psi. So we did half the tune. Soooooo lots of issues to follow
There is lat play in the turbo and I am told it could cause this.
Also oil was comming out of the knock sensor caps. Since I dont use them with the BS3 I used expandable freeze plugs and sealed them off.
Found a spark plug arcing out.
Fixed all of the following and car hit 18-19psi of boost. But I noticed the oil pressure very low. 30psi @ idle. Also noticed a knock. We pulled the pan and guess what. Oring on the pickup tube was shot. We checked all of the rod bearings and they were all good. Put in a new oring and reinstalled everything and started the car and got 50psi at idle. Well guess what the knock was still there.
Pull the valve cover off and there is bearing material in there which is prob the came bearings. So I am going to install polydyne coated rod,main,cam bearing and new head gaskets and start again. I am also thinking that is what was causing my valveterrain noise.
Also found alot of leaks in the kit too that will get fixed.
Anywayz I should be up and going by this weekend.
