Street Racing & Kill Stories - What have you done to your car recently?

Well I haven't turned a wrench in a while. But today I did get around to lowering the Mach which was very much needed. :nod: I bought some cut stock springs from another Mach owner and installed a MM pinion snubber. I must say it looks SO much better!! :chug:

Cut Springs? Really? It might look better but that cannot be good for your suspension.

Getting the cold side in tomorrow. Had alot of relocating to do to get to this point. All accessories are installed too. Good clearance all around.

Pulled the transmission, sending it to tick. Now I gotta find where the oil leak is coming from. Also did weld in sfcs and new torque arm/panhard bar from umi. Gotta find the oil leak and where the diff fluid is leak

beat the piss out of it, then washed her. thats what I did to my car today. just like every other nice Saturday afternooon

Cut Springs? Really? It might look better but that cannot be good for your suspension.

The stock springs (mainly rear) are best for traction, so you figure it out.

got a ported intake and retune

By this time next week I'll be nearly at the "DONE!!!" mark for my car. By saturday/sunday of next week here is where it will stand: fully forged 402 LS2 (built for a BIG shot of nitrous) w fully ported LS3 heads, baby starter shot from my NOS fogger, Gforce carbon fiber driveshaft, EBC drilled/slotted rotors, "Red" pads, full set of braided brake lines, new CarbonMan carbon fiber lip spoiler and SAP grills on, ... oh yeah ARP wheel studs... and hell I don't even remember what else, there is LOTS AND LOTS of boxes awaiting install for when my car gets back from it's engine transplant!

This is what I'm putting on to the car over the next week ontop of what I've already got done (list too long to remember).. I'm always modding, but the car has been at the shop so I couldn't install the stuff as it arrives so all next week will be one big install.
Eventually I'll get some nice rims for it, but that is proving to be ALOT harder then I thought as the very very few rims I like on a GTO are also the most popular styles-- So I'm saving up for a set of custom built rims. Gonna suck paying for that bill.... cuz it'll be 6 rims to buy....

Just yesturday I put slotted rotors on the car and this past month I put 12 way adjustable shocks all the way around and lowered it over an inch

i haven't done shit. i moved it today so i could get the lawn mower out...that's the first time it has been started in prob a month or so.

What has this to do with street racing? :wrongforu

I'm in the process of fitting a mach 1 chin lip to my camaro and I'm gonna make a rear flat bottom for it. Tryin to get to 125+in the 1/4 with the ls6 before the ls7 goes in. Weight removel is at a constant on this car.

Cammed my Camaro-trying to nail down the tune

What has this to do with street racing? :wrongforu

They alow 2 bs threads at a time

Put in a yank ss 4000, tranny cooler and got new mt et streets!

Washed the car, skreet raced it on sprayz, and then I parked it at 2am. Woke up and said fuck you car. Went back inside.

I started my GTO last week. Then I cleaned up all the oil and ps fluid it pissed all over the ground... The rack and rear main are shot... at 25k miles. Hopefully the extended warranty I got for it covers this BS.

Nothing :(

I changed the rotors.

On the to-do-list later this summer includes: PSRI, 90mm MAF, 39lb injectors, and Even Flow Cooling Mod.

I haven't touched my car in weeks, literally touched. Looked at it about two weeks ago.

Waxed the Si for the first time this year...

Sounds like fun. I enjoy the videos of your car.

Got the Nitrous Outlet kit installed a couple weeks ago, stripped and polished the wheels, got new front tires so now she is sitting on Nitto 555R DR's out back and NT555 street tires out front. Saving money for awhile as I'm headed back up to college in 6 weeks and probably won't touch the car myself again until March after that.

450whp:D

well, a lot....the 96gt that is.

pulled the motor finally. disassembled it. dropped the block off at R&R to hot tank it and true up the decks. all of those new parts are going into it next weekend. painting cleaning etc. then have to make the turbo mount, headers and hotside. still tossing up 2" primaries or 1 7/8".

Within the last year...
WeaponX CoPs, Bassani Midlength Header and matching catted-X pipe, ported and polished lower intake...Dynoed and retuned..

The part that I did, was installed CoPs and removed Shaker Assembly, PHP Intake Spacer and upper and Lower Intake. Local machine shop did the port and polish. I did not intall the headers either. The motor had to be dropped to get them in. To damn heavy for my ass...

450whp:D

460 or im burning it to the ground:judge:

i'll mail u some matches

whoa, wait a minute. we talking about what we did within the last year???? That list would be ALOT longer for me then!

Added LS7 clutch and new hydraulics, flycut pistons, PRC stage 2.5 cnc heads, valve springs, rocker arms, cam, pushrods, lifters, oil pump, timing chain, ported intake, ported and polished TB, CAI, 85mm mass air, LT headers, OR X-pipe, '04+ style valley cover. Prolly leaving out a few things but I gotta run.

I haven't done anything to my car recently other than clean it. Oh, it got some new Nittos up front. It needs some other maintenance done to it now that it's getting old...



Thow out bearing
Clutch
Front & rear brakes (pad & rotors)
new blower (the little KB is getting tired. It makes good power, but she's getting old now).
New pullies
Subframe connectors
3.55 rear end gear. I'm sick of the 3.90 gear for the street.

I did not know what "recently" meant so I just rounded it off to one year. Performance parts get real expensive so there is only a limited budget for me...well according to the wife's rules.

Boy, do I miss my old single days when my coffee table was a 69 SuperBee 383 block with a piece of plywood and my budget was whatever I had in my pocket at the time minus the rent. :bang:

I'm slowly assembling the Evo now. Spent a few hours on it the other day and got the timing belt on and timing set. Put on all the timing covers and all the things that go with the new oil pan. Looking at getting rid of the air bags in the Trailblazer. The uneven ride is driving me crazy.

Sorry but I really can't stand when people say this and "I seen it".

since i got my diff "fixed" which is making the same noise from when i took it in, this mechanic dont know shit, took it there 6 times and sounds the same. anyway... took mine to redline, freeway runs, burnouts, some showin off for others, smacked up some hoes, put in in the garage at 3am came back out in the morning with a nice spliff rolled and sat, and said "holy crap i have a camaro" and just coughed away and gazed out into the valley :)

Put the intake mani on and the oil feed and return line for the turbo.

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b354/wditton/419a5847.jpg

LS2 402ci with trickflow heads, Fast intake, EPS custom cam, A/R 1 7/8 headers, custom true duals, built th350, full suspension. Motor still not in the car though. Short block and heads are complete I just have to find the time to assemble everything and get it in the car.

Fixed

haha. Good kill.

3.55 rear end gear. I'm sick of the 3.90 gear for the street.

coughvaginacough.....excuse me. Darn allergies. ;)

For me I put in my tranny v. 3.0 in 2 months ago. But I have been buying a ton of parts for the new build.

Just bought an lq9 block, callies compstar 4in crank, eagle H beams, wiseco -3cc 4.030 pistons. Ordering tea stage 2 cnc ls3 heads, and harland sharp 1.7 rr tommorrow.:D

Well since the blower is "getting tired" and you are stepping down the gear...how about a turbo or two? :devil:

I put mine back to stock, clutch started to slip, ecu then bricked randomly, plus no A/C in 100 degree sucks, so I lost about 200whp. Its for sale and looking for something COMPLETELY new to try.

EPS. If they don't come in this week i might die lolz.

Lol^ my uncles s/c kit came in before ur cam and u ordered it 2wks before haha

Man, have we met? I used to live in RTP, and went to school at NCSU.

haha!! No man..never met. I would have definitely noticed your car though. Nice ride and looks familiar. :D
I am actually just on the other side of Raleigh.

Nice! Should be a blast. :D

...everything. Almost.

I have not laid eyes on my car in almost 6 months now. Its been at a body shop waiting to be restored. The Guy called me the other day and said they are going to finally start on it today. I told him to call 911 I'm having a heart attack....
Im toughing it out with him because I know he does good work plus every shop I call says a 3 month wait at least.

When I get it back I plan on a "stock" n/a setup like before. Going to upgrade the stock suspension and fuel system. I wouldn't mind a Turbo or blower setup but right now I just want to see how far I can get the car n/a.

Installed some new wheels and started throwing up, holy shit, WTF WAS I THINKING!

moved it from here to there :(

Do want (to drive). :drool:

Thanks and me too. The car has been on the lift for 6 months:bang:

Took the Z out for the first time in months after racing it for a day straight (I hate pushing my car's like that), and took pics of her WITH TIRE SHINE THIS TIME!! Then Washed/Waxed the SS for the hell of it.

Recently done to the S2000 - Had friend take over payments and is about to buy it perminantly from me.

Recently done to Camaro - Harland Sharp Rockers, Comp Cams Pro Magnum Lifters, Comp Cams Pushrods, Tsunami Cam, 241 heads with springs/retainers, cutout, all assembled, PCMforLess tune

Next up- shorter stick for pro5.0 shifter, motor mounts, relocate the cutout and add the electric piece

Recently on the TBSS: purchased and installed intake, muffler delete. Sounds great now. Next up is a tune.

get ls1 efans/160 t-stat before u tune it if u got the extra cash they are pretty cheap^ will help save retune $$ if u do it all at once

Might in the market again here soon. Actually already have my eyes on a car. :secret2:

I will eventually do the fans, reason why I won't do it now is because the truck is certified used which comes with a 12 month bumper to bumper. If something happened an intake and tune can be reversed easily and quickly, an e-fan setup not so much. I don't want to give the dealer a reason to void the warranty. As the 12 Month warranty is coming to an end I will get the e-fans.

gotcha makes sense

got tired of the mach I see eh?... Cool deal on the blazer.

Lowered the car

Not the best pic, it was with the cell phone

Ehhhh....no. I loved the car and did not want to get rid of it. The car looked bone stock on the outside and sounded subtle while daily driving, but it surprised a lot of people when I got on the throttle, and the sound was just orgasmic. I needed to get rid of it because I was having to pick up and drop off my daughter at the daycare a little too much, and the backseat was getting a little too cramped for her legs at 2 years old. My wife thought an SUV would be a good idea and by no means was I gonna get rid of my mustang for a Honda crv or a highlander. I might jump on a fox body soon.

Bled my brakes, hooked up my clutch and finally put the headers on :D

Not very good pictures; I just snapped them real quick with my phone.

Which car?

It's in the classifieds. :)

Did a lot of work in the last day and a half. Mounted up more stuff, coil packs are in, finished the fuel lines, ran the vac/boost source, brake lines finished up, mounted up some of the cold side and a boat load of cleaning up wires.

does yout turbo's footprint have a larger version? you may end up wanting more power. i swear this turbo is all i will use, but you know the old story. more is never enough.

Just installed my chromoly UMI torque arm and driveshaft safety loop. Ive been having lots of problems with my tailshaft breaking on the spray so hopefully this cures it.

Also dumped the longtubes with bullet mufflers and turndowns bc the true duals wouldnt work with the UMI piece.

Yeah I know what your talking about. I know from a local guy that the tc78 and pt88 are about tge same depth. Just a bit wider so If I wanted to upgrade it will fit. I'd just have to get a bigger downpipe to fit it.

my lsx project

Built my own cold air intake and box. I switched the maf and bend though from how it looks in the pic. It's working pretty good.

payed money, money, and some more money on new parts for the vette :( thats all. hopefully it will be done really soon. just bought some used 80# injectors and 2 nano kits. still need to buy a clutch, thinking about the RPS BC3 (that thing is F****** expensive) also need a new fuel system to do 250shot. but for now I will start N/A tune the car,,, keep it N/A for at least couple of months (I doubt it lol) and then start spraying a 100-150shot depends on how much the stock fuel pump will handle. I am also considering doing bap and hopefully it will be enough to do that 250shot. we will see how that goes. also just got my CAI painted and will be sending off my wheels in few days to get it powdercoated black. among other few things that cost more and more money........ :(

Finished mocking up a little chin spoiler project that has been on my mind for a while.
http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r136/HioSSilver/IMAG0287.jpg

this is the last project i took pic's of

402 and a 200 shot

http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss268/mikesperformanceautodetailing/c3341f83.jpg
:chug:

FINALLY got the spray working. We had to back it down to a 150 shot because fuel support. I have a Walbro but ill be going with a standalone and C16 soon and trying a 200, possibly 250. I have a spare motor so why not.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?nomobile=1&v=LQUMFPaBtGA

got the block back from R&R yesterday. shortblock is assembled. everything was perfect tolerances.

I have to recommend them of you are near Huntsville Al.

that engine stand is an old one. a 69 pontiac 400 ram air was the first motor ever built on it...in ~1991.

didnt touch the heads, they are already ported and have low miles. just took them off and put them back on. water pump is the same one it already had. rebuild is just for more overall strength.

Might have this thing ready to fire up this up coming weekend.

Did a Chevy orange-red paint up on lower air box....turned out nice and shiny! Added a nice contrast to engine bay.

Finished chin spoiler. Hopefully it get me a little more mph...and mpg's.

She drives really nice right now. Had to burp the coolant as the thermastat wasnt' opening and now it doesn't overheat :)

yeah i wanna see more vids of that beast

I just cranked mine this past Friday and I would of video taped it, but I was by myself and needed to keep a eye on the gauges and to watch out for leaks.

Anyway here is the video I took after it had ran for a few minutes and I felt comfortable with the oil pressure and coolant temps. Don't mind the noisy valve train, the lash was set loose for start up and have since been adjusted.

Got some new lug nuts! These are longer lugs though, so I'm wondering how much weight this is going to add to the car :(

But they are stronger lug nuts, so I think that I can add 20 rwhp to my dyno number right?

heater nice ride bro ,

Thanks man :thumb:


I didn't think that I would get any kind of response to it on here. On a Mustang website I would have all kinds of compliments and questions; on here nobody really gives a shit about a Mustang. Honestly that's why I like hanging around on here...the anonymity is quite nice.

Due to GM being total ass holes and not standing behind their recall, I had to fork out $700 for a dumb fucking actuator in the steering wheel today.

Breaking it in :)

theres nothing like the sound of a big turbo in a v8 car. the whistle makes you want to spool it up every time you pass someone. so they know how cool you are. i like to make it whistle as i pass modded pickups with TD's. they arent the only ones with boost.

Yep, unfortunately where I live there are alot of 4banger folk that share the same wet dream of boostin' they hella tight ride yo. I noticed that when driving around I got eye fucked by those type of folk:D

.....And yeah I love punching it a little bit just to hear that sweet sweet spool of the turbo. Nothing beats it.

Recently order all kinds of crap for my car to do the engine build and few other things. Cams, forged internals, ARP bolts, clutch, Aluminum DS, and all kinds of little stuff.

took it out for a spin to see if i could get rid of some of the wind noise on my gopro

Added the PCMforless tune and got my ass kicked buy a girl in a 406 71 camaro on spray

Added ls6 manifold and did not break the opsu

Anyone know how much stickier the nt05r are then the nt05? And if they wobble/feel loose or w/e driving around on them?
Figured this section would have the most ppl that'd know

I had them on my G8. With 500whp they stuck pretty good. I will say my MT's are better though.

I'm tossing around either getting the nt05r's or MT ET's, but I'm unsure which route to go.:(

I did a swap to rear disc brakes on the Chevelle. LS1 fbody rears just barely fit. Had to grind that bump off the face of the caliper and there is no longer room for internal stick on wheel weights now haha.

I put a ls1 in my car. lol

Nt05r is the only 19in Dr tho I'm pretty sure in 345s. Did they feel weird driving on the highway? Like unstable?

I did a swap to rear disc brakes on the Chevelle.i had the same experience swapping some (rear) iroc disc brakes to our 72 ss el camino. i had to grind the fins off the top of the caliper.

just curious; was that a direct swap or did you have to put some sort of spacer between the backing plate and caliper bracket? i had about 7/16 of an inch to make up between the two in getting the rotor in the caliper bracket. i had to bring the bracket out away from the backing plate.

on a side note, i had a friend do some tuning on the ta for me. stock tune had 24* timing and wot afr @ 12.6 - i didn't think that was too bad. we added 3-4* timing and took out a touch of fuel at wot and a TON of fuel at part-throttle. i'm curious to see how it affected the car's trap. deleted about a million codes and FINALLY removed cags.

My car was just recently put back together - has some stuff that still needs to be done...

4 point harness, fix my TPS issue, replace the y pipe, install the cutout, fix the clutch (possibly the throwout bearing), trans fluid change

Then finally get it to emissions and then DRIVE IT!

there are alot of 4banger folk that share the same wet dream of boostin' they hella tight ride yo.

Guilty :(

Can't wait to see some videos of that beast.

I've got my motor ready to drop back in the car, just got to get the car ready for it. Removing A/C and condensor as well as rerouting some of the wiring. Going to open up my tranny and make sure it's what I paid for, then bolt her to the motor and drop it in. Kind of sucks only getting to work on it a few hours a week.

I just put on Goodrich G-Force KDW-2 in the rear. 295/35/18 :)

Lol, except you don't have to dream. You just have it. I like talking to civic guys because they say every year that they are going turbo. Next year comes and they have the same car with more aesthetic crapdone and no turbo. Now to be fair some do, but most don't. Te ones that rub me the wrong ways are the guys in the later of the group.

the ones i dont like, are the ones that think nobody else can bolt on a turbo like 1.6-2.4 liters is 'the king'.

They like to talk shit about v8 until you show up with a bigger turbo too :D


Broke in the car some more and did the first oil change. Nothing crazy in the oil, some metallic stuff, but that is normal.

If I want to sand bag, I don't try to hide stuff anymore. Instead I make up off the wall shit and act like my car is some 8sec @ 160mph+ car. It's a lot easier to get races that way.

I washed it........ For the first time in 8 months. Yes, the Trans Am. No, I am not kidding.

Hopefully have the intake on today... Exhaust by the end of the week. Then sell my Ranger and pay off some debt/buy my new rims! :secret2:
Fix the windshield (has a crack), CETA mod, re-tint the windows in 5%, install LED smoked 3rd brake light, adding blackbird stripes (still on the fence), install my Chrs1313 ram air, install my catch can, finish painting my valve covers, install my relay for HIDs, buy LEDs for interior lighting.

I'm sure there is more but that is the top of the list of things happening... In the next month my car is about to over come a LOT of changes!! :lol:

:eek2: 8 months!! Is it in a build process?

I just washed mine last night, and removed the ac blower motor only to find out it was perfectly clean already. :bang:

A friend figured out some wiring issues with the car while I was up at school.

He has until November to buy it and if not, car is up for sale

:eek2: 8 months!! Is it in a build process?

I just washed mine last night, and removed the ac blower motor only to find out it was perfectly clean already. :bang:

Eh... I sold ported FAST 102 setup and rims and kind of lost interest in the car for a while... Been trying to decide if I wanted to sell, mod more, etc etc...
I finally got around to deciding what I wanted to do so I'm getting it back together and where I want it to be for now.

Sad part.... It was a quick wash/inside cleaning.... The interior is spotless of course but the exterior probably is cleaner than most peoples car on here. :bang: Perfectionist FTL! Needs a good 8 hour exterior detail. Clay bar to Wax, underside, engine bay is still clean but I'll do it anyway.

lemons12, i was in your shoes not too long ago. I couldnt decide wether to sell it or rebuild it. I decided to keep it since i probly wont get anywhere near what id like for the car.

The only thing stopping me from giving my car a very detailed wash is the weather. It can get around 115* during the day. So I have to start washing it once the sun starts going down, and then i have to rush before the sun goes all the way down lol.

Yea, about once a year I go full blown want to sell.... Never make a FS thread then I want to keep it and never getting rid of it. I doubt I will sell it within the next 10 years honestly.

I hear that on the heat!!

Over the weekend I decided to do the t-top conversion. I should be done tommorrow then I'll finish installing my new engine harness, then hopefully the pos will be running.

sold it now lol

Washed it - thats gotta count for something right?!?!

Ordered an LED 3rd brake light and installed it.

Ordering injectors this week sometime to finish up the intake install.

Well tomorrow it seems i'm going to have to put ANOTHER tail shaft extension seal in it...2nd one in 2 weeks, my guess is the new one got pinched when we put the new bushing in. Maybe we'll use a torque wrench this time :lol: then i'm gonna wash it, and depending on how my paycheck is Friday, order a Y pipe for the new setup.

Cammed this motha!

I had a home ported ls6 my friends and I did several years ago. We bored out the tb till it had holes in it, epoxied them up, bored it more then made a throttle blade. Then we ported the intake till th throttle blade fell threw it and epoxied those holes....worked like a champ. Made me use 6-8% more injecter. I ported the fast myself.

The tuner didn't offer to atleast email it to you since his printer was down? Wow...

I assume his dyno computer is not online. Not a big deal to me. I want the track #'s to back it up.

All my #'s has been on dyno jets so far. We converted his to dynojets. I don't know why they don't all use the same formula's. He can do crank hp too. He said the most he's ever been off dor at the crank hp is 2hp. He said mine would make appox 503 crank hp.

I had a home ported ls6 my friends and I did several years ago. I ported the fast myself.

What throttle body did you have before? Did you also get the FAST 90 throttle body. I just bought a FAST 90 and throttle body. Hoping to gain 15 hp over my ls6 and stock throttle body.

I assume his dyno computer is not online.

So he tunes cars, doesn't have a printer working, isn't connected to the internet to send emails, BUT it made great power. Hmmmm awfully convenient. LOL

So all four dynos are happy, they evidently don't give graphs either. Its all good I've owned a bolt on LS6 and have seen a few on the dyno I know what they put down.

Yes I have some stuff going in soon with my fast 90 and throttle body and Im going the end of the season to hit 11's with bolt-ons. Than I will be doing heads/cam... I would do them now, but I would like to hit 11's with bolt-ons fiirst. Plus I will get alot bigger gains having plenty of Intake and exhaust for the h/c setup....

Maybe you don't know what the fuck your doin....did you think about that?

Turbo Technologies tuned mine, I'm pretty sure they know what they are doing. Your right though you are a genius and have some track times in your sig. Do you have some timeslips or was the printer at the track broken too.

I seen where you have posted yours made 360rwhp....if that's the case you don't know what your doing and neither do they. Unless it was a mustang dyno, then it's still a little low. What was your track times again?

LMAO! Thats funny right there. You are a piece of work. If you saw the dyno numbers you should of seen it was a WS6 vert and I didn't want to chop it up by putting a cage in it. I'm sure since you race so much you know what the rules are for verts. I'm also sure you are aware how few six speed WS6 verts were built in 2001. At the end of the day your still a douchebag and I am beginning to doubt your claims since there is no proof of it. A sig full of numbers and you flapping your gums isn't proof.

I can see the gains from bolt ons and the right tune. Also with little stuff to help make that power. Aluminum Driveshaft/lighter wheels/brakes/lighter aluminum flywheel. All that helps put power down.

Also every dyno a little different.

If the Mach has stock internals; then I wouldn't call it happy....I'd call it smart and cautious.

For sure on his part from what I've heard and read. It's ashame it can't take a little more, so easy with boost just to turn it up. We dyno'ed on the same day also. One after another.

New Era Performance (one of the sponsors here).

I'm not buying his claimed HP. Not a chance in hell he made that much power with a stock LS6 and full boltons. He must be related to Juice. Or the dyno isnt reading right. I'm waiting on the graph.

I dont care for dyno numbers, but that 11.1 at 124 backs it up and then some.

Do you believe that bolt-on well tuned ls1's make 350-360 rwhp? If so add 60, a ls6 is rated @ 60 more. I posted a graph when it made 413rwhp/395rwtq somewhere on here. The fast 90 made 13 more rwhp and 10 more rwtq, mot unheard of at all.

edited for graph before fast 90

well the direction is decided. 1.625 primaries.

they are just tacked. have to start somewhere. two more tubes on this side.

number 5 will merge directly into the 2.5" pipe.

where the tubes from 7 and 8 join, the tubing steps from 1.625 to 1.75".

We now all expect racing vids, WOT passes, in car speedo pulls, and pulls in general. Dyno?

i swapped plugs and wires last week due to a multiple misfire situation. then logged the car thinking i could feed it a little more timing. found a shit ton of knock and put the stock timing table back in it due to time constraints :( oh well.

also got a piece of sheetmetal removed from the right rear tire yesterday, that was cool.

Then redoing the headers and y pipe, adding the cutout. Doing the rear gears in a few weeks..

If they only check over the obdII for codes then you'll be fine. If it's a sniff you might have some issues.

Very nice, plans on a rear end or just beefier axles? lol

A good friend had a spare that he gave to me. Can't go wrong with free! I don't race it that much. The slicks were me attempting to get my "man card" back at the track because I ran pretty slow my last to time out because I couldn't launch on street tires. 12.3 @ 118.X with a 2.05 60'.

I wanted to just get 1 low 11 second pass and I would have been thrilled. Not sure if I'm ready for a second attempt on the slicks. We'll see!

I started, and drove my car for the first time in roughly 2 years (give or take). I swapped to a cam I have used in the past,..or something close anyways. The car now idles on its own. I still have bugs to work out but, it feels pretty good. Also started a fox body LSX turbo build which will be a dedicated dig/slow roll car. Should be fun. Here's the current status...neither car is finished...the vette will go under a vacuum line revamp soon...

Anywho...

that white vette is pretty sick ,camaro94 that sucks man, i would have loved to see what it ran with slicks,your last vids had alot of spining going on , still ran really good though , for street tires you cant expect much lol

I just threw on a AFCO heat exchanger, 4.10's and dropped down on my sc pulley was at 2.90 and went to a 2.80.

gonna drive it low boost and tune on it, then add powerglide. flywheel is SFI powerglide/th400 patterned. one step at a time.

since my last post i have done the following:

long tubes, ory, and fm 10 series muffler
chrs1313 ram air setup
ls6 intake manifold
ls6 clutch and oem replacement hydraulics
390 gears

debating what to spend my tax return on. a new engine or a bunch of little supporting shit for this one. prob end up going with a 9", suspension, racetronix hotwire kit, fast 92 and a plate kit. i just want to see 11.9s on motor and 10s on a shot. i'd be happy with that.

new cai, ported intake, heads, and headers. also found out i had all 8 bent intake valves at the stem lol

I hit a Danm light pole at a local drift event trying to drift my vette time to learn fiberglass repair oh and leave the drifting to a cheaper car I have always wanted a 90's t-bird wounder how the slide to Craig's list

I HPtuned the slobalt and ran a 13.6 @ 109 :lol:

Fwd fail :-(

thinking aboot changing the gears in my car.

New turbo and hood. Hopefully I'll have enough to keep up with turbo sonata's.

Did the following this week...

1. Tossed the stock power steering cooler and added an aftermarket frame rail mount PSC. Also flushed the fluid. It was nasty brown.

2. Flushed the cooling system. Burping it tomorrow. (Took today off and didn't want to wake the kids up last night by starting the car)

3. Rotated the tires and checked air pressure.

4. Running lines for front brakes. Using the air pump as the air supply. This is the last thing I will get finished. See air pump section on post #1. Thanks Jim! http://ls1tech.com/forums/suspension-brakes/1572847-diy-brake-ducts-less-then-20-bucks.html

5. Changed out the transmission fluid.

Next month.
1. Smog/Register

2. Pan hard bar

3. Alignment

4. Brake fluid swap.

EBC Brakes and "Red Stuff" Ceramic Pads all the way around..

billet 76? im going to switch to a billet wheel, tune run for WHILE then 80mm.



bought a different manual brake delete system. smaller bore should make it easier to stop. had UPR, switched to aerospace system. installed the ABS delete manifold, putting line lock on delete manifold soon.

I washed it. That's about it.

Put it back on pump gas for the winter.
