am I going in the right direction ? I'm starting to wrap up some of the finer points on my protour build.
I think I've done alright to this point but I'm getting some anxiety about making a wrong turn at some point.
the car :1971 Monte Carlo (3200lbs'ish)
UMI tubular suspension
QA1 coil overs all corners
Hotchkis sway bars
Z06 wheels 19"
Z06 brakes all corners
12 bolt (soon to be posi with a 3.08 gear)
the engine: 2004 LQ4
ARP rod bolts
pro comp elec. head studs
ls9 head gaskets
comp cams push rods
comp cams springs
comp cams trunion upgrade
317 heads
2008 Z06 Cam ( I know there's lots of room for improvement here)
truck intake
trans:
4l80e with transgo HD2 kit
have not chosen the convertor yet
turbo:
Precision GT42-76 1.28 a/r( please tell me this will be a decent fit for the 6.0)
Vibrant A2A intercooler
have not chosen BOV or Gate yet
Meth injection (haven't settled on that either)
efisource gold box will be my controller
it is going to be 90% street driven
I'm in Canada so there is always a premium on building a car like this and trying to catch deals is nearly a full time job at times.
since E85 is non existant in this part of the country I'm left to use 93 and meth.
the fuel system will be Aeromotive and I'm a bit stuck on choosing injector size.
I'm just looking for some basic feedback on the combo so far
I'd like to push 700'ish on a safe tune if possible at our high altitude
