Soo. as of now, I think my LS6 heads, as soon as they are done, are going on,...with all new valvetrain,....my old cam,...and a twin fogger setup.

Cam and spray worked great before,... so heads/cam/more nitrous and alot more mods that I have now, that I didn't have before , should be better.

Get all that go go gadget stuff on the car,.....and in the meantime,...we'll build the other motor(atleast thats the plan for today)

It is,...still possible for a cam change before the old one goes in. Yes, I am retarded.


Haha I hear ya, I couldnt wait for my cam install/dyno tune to be done. I dropped the car off and like couldnt sleep the entire week until it was done. Plus, I told myself that I was only going to get the cam done, then in went the bilsteins and new springs, then subframes, then LCA's, panhard rod, ls6 intake, pulley, Throttle body, etc. Now im waiting to get some prc ls6 heads, bigger injectors, kooks stepped headers, and maybe so spray...haha its a never ending cycle! Good luckw ith the cam choice and honestly id just throw you old cam in, get it running and have fun with it and build your ls6 block with the new cam.

yup..never ending. I didn't buy the nitrous kit last night,...it looked a lil old. I'm just gonna buy the kit I want in the first place.

.....the car really needs long tubes badly, soo does your actually. Guys that don't have them,...dammit man, get them. They are worth, no matter what. I had the Lg's on my last car,....and wow, what a difference. If you had them once, your gonna have to have them on every car. My car feels slow as **** right now,....and it's running fine. Just slow. The long tubes are my next $$$ mod. Just sucks that they're 1300bucks. **** fire.

.....needs a tune badly as well. Bad thing is my old tune, that I still have stored is for my old setup.... which I obviously don't have at the moment. Gonna try and get another file for her over the weekend. Maybe that'll help it out a little, for now.

Work, is crazy busy, soo, I really don't have time to work on it at the moment anyways. I barely had time to wash it yesterday, and i'm probably gonna be working on my day off this weekend, just to catch up. Not complaining,...just mildly stressing.

which reminds me,...what the hell am I doing typeing? gotta go.

Peace.

Its here, the insurance company told me 6 grand to buy it off of them. Honestly, I don't think you'd want it anymore, unless your gonna make it a race car.

A little busy man. Hard to find time for everything, ya know. I partied pretty friggin hard this weekend,..so, nothing got done here. It was my weekend off anyways but, I probably should have come into work.

I should be getting my TNT F2 kit in this week, soo, that should help me out with anyone I run into for a short amount of time.

I need long tubes man. Plus, waiting on my heads to be finished...

soo...just waiting for a short time now...
