Cool caint wait I'm getting anxious the more I here yours run

 

great job on the car. definately top notch. i found it while searching for the tu2 cam. did you ever measure the ptv clearance on it? i have an ly6 going into my mustang and am going to swap the l92's for some nice 317's and would love to run this cam.

thanks
mike

 

Haha I wish we didn't get all this snow or id be making driving videos right now!!!

 

I didn't but I'm sure there's plenty I have the cam timed at 0° you should be able to run this cam with the ly6 no problem. I thought of doing that motor but I got two lq4's for less than I could of gotten the ly for around here.

 

I take it your buddy is a pipe welder. I'm a steamfitter and have worked with lots of welders and your buddy is definetly top notch.

 

great build! enjoyed the complete thread, your set up would make my s10 fly!

 

He is......Thanks i'll let him know! Hopefully soon we will be doing a lot of custom work all over

Thank you I say throw it in there I have been seeing a ton of s10's fly down the track lately!

 

I am blown away how nice this build ended up. You did a very nice job with everything, I'm sure you're very pleased with the outcome. I'm glad I could be a very small part of your set-up.

 

Thanks man i really appreciate the help. I am so happy with how everything came out and I cant wait to see how it does on the street I planned on a fun street car but it got a little out of control But in a good way haha

 

lol

I'll say it got outta control!

Doug

 

Haha

 

Been driving and tuning. Car is just crazy on the street 9° timing 5psi 11.20afr wot spinning tires at 70mph like nothing! I know its cold but this is just nuts It spins the tires no matter what speed im going soon as it hits boost! hahaha
Oh and for who wants to know its hitting full boost around 3200rpms so idk why people think the s480 is laggy because I don't even have a second from 1k to when it hits boost and rips the tires up! Lol

 

Maybe they are talking about on smaller motors or something. I can't wait to see how it reacts on my 5.3 motor. I have high hopes though.

 

I think the way its set up using the twin scroll is why its working so well. I'm sure you will be very happy with the 5.3. Either way your never getting traction on the street lol.

 

That may be a good thing! Initially I will be using a stock 8.8 rear til I get the money to build it or a 9" rear end, lol.

 

Those 8.8s can hold a good amount of power you will be ok

 

Which welding school did your buddy go to Hobart? Lincoln? Tulsa?

 

Hobart

 

Not much to update working on getting some things ironed out anyone else run rod ends everywhere? What a nightmare with a spool!! LOL Might have to tone it down a little so its more streetable just threw on the filter and changed up the fuel line from stainless to the black line

 

I will be running the Truetrac eventually, but it is all solid rear end bushings and such.

I am actually going to try out the Fragola push lock braided nylon stuff. It is pretty reasonable and looks to be good quality from everything I have read.
