Default Bolt-On Mods Continue: all done after this...?

I just ordered my ASP U/D Pulley, Meizere EWP (WP319 in Black, w/160° t-stat), and Lucas 42 lb/hr injectors...

This should, I believe wrap up the list of "bolt-ons" for the car...

#'s in my sig are current w/the following mods done to date:

SLP Lid
SLP Bellow
FAST 90/90 (ported by Mamo & additionally by me)
Patriot Stage II Ls6 'Style' heads: 59cc (2.02" int/1.57" ext)
Comp 224/224 .581/.581 @112lsa
Comp Poly 7.4" P.R.
Ls6 Oil Pump (ported/shimmed)
Ls2 Timing Chain
XS Ebay S.S. LT's/TSP TD's w/SLP LM resonators

!Air Delete
!EGR Delete

HP Tune


Parts will be installed end of August when I go on vacation and a retune to follow. Will post updated #'s (gains or not)...

My goal has been to create a very stout street car and to see just how much power I can squeeze out of this "LITTLE" 224 cam before dropping in a 9" w/3.90's...

Opinions welcome and if I have over-looked anything, share some insight...

I'll update this thread once it's all done and said...

if you are doing the 42lb injectors, do a fuel pump too...255lph Walbro...$100. Look at the sticky in the fueling section for the install too...beats dropping the tank

I have not installed them yet. I will know hopefully in about 10 days. Since I'm doing it all at once, whatever gains there might be will be hard to separate exactly which component gave "x" amount of gain...

I will definately post up the outcome after the parts are on and the car is re-tuned. Gains or not...

Hope these help some...ram air is a must...my preferences in best performing would be my custom setup but you have to ditch the a/c...lose 34lbs in the process...then the sux2bu breathing from the holes in the camaro bumper...and finally if you dont wanna do either of them get a FTRA or SSRA...and dont forget to seal up the intake box completely so it only breathes from below...

cliff notes get a ram air

custom > sux2bu > FTRA/SSRA

car is an M6, the only way to go IMO...

since the car is not a track car, and more of a street car, i chose 6spd. if i was more of a track guy, then i would have gone A4...
