Getting off cheap - just upgrading a few already existing performance parts.

New PST DS, upgraded Spohn T/A xmember with Thrustator lower mount/Del-Sphere upper, new verter, tailshaft bushing/seal...

Ported heads, then a new clutch in the spring.

Kmember,control arms,light weight rear bumper support,lithium battey,ai 243s,ls7 lifters,LS2 trays,36lbers and Eradaspeed front rotors put on. No time to install but hopefully in the next month

new cam, new heads, intake manifold, injectors, new TB, fuel rails, rockers, a tune, and a few other things. can't wait to get it all back together

Have to get new clutch, getting my heads on and retune. Koni da's need to be put in. Have slicks and Dr's finally for a track outing.

Return my vert to stock. Sell said vert.

Buy a C5Z. Swap to an auto. Add bolt on parts from my vert. See what it'll run with a stock long block.

Anyone want to buy a 2004 CE vert??

was that my old 10bolt???

ls1 swap in my impala then by next winter 408 stroker

basic upgrades: brakes, new rims, tires, suspension, exhaust, shifter, radio (just finished putting it in), and since i found a killer deal on a momo steering wheel, im going to install that too.

Well, looks like I'm doing a forged shortblock...
This is what my #7 plug looked like after coming home from cars&coffee this morning. I did a 4th gear romp and when I shifted a puff of white/grey smoke came out and the car started missing badly.
I'm guessing #7 ringland is gone.

You probably shouldn't start your lawnmower the way your luck is going

Looks like some of my plans changed. Exhaust hits the new torque arm so going to do heads cam and full exhaust to fix it lol. Already have the heads so just need the right cam and exhaust.

Doing gauge cluster overlay and upping the mph to 200. Gives me more room to peg>.>

That just sucks. Nice to meet you today sorry for the piston being gone. Hopefully after the ringland broke it went right out the exhaust and did not hurt the valve seats or the bore. Did you have meth on that???

**** happens, I knew that I was on borrowed time pushing this much power through a stock shortblock. My biggest concern right now is if the head is alright. Hopefully it's like you said and it went right out the exhaust. We'll see when I get it torn apart.

i finally made my winter upgrade!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the last line of my signature

I plan on getting around to getting new tires for my new rims, and thinking long tube headers plus Ory's

New Trans, either 32-3600 stall, lt/ory, ls6 intake, tune. Hope to get to the track this spring/summer

the only thing i wanna do this winter is get this damn rattling/grinding noise figured out, anyone local wanna meat up and play "name that noise?"

I'll be fitting my LS6 into my 240sx. Maybe a Meziere waterpump if funds allow.

New carpet, cam swap retune by Slowhawk. Bumper fixed and painted, Black bird stripes, strano springs, tint windows
