Is a it a chemical throttle spaceur or just a thick shim?

 

I wouldn't run a bunch of spray through a $2000 plastic intake lol.

 

my sniper needed 2throttle body spacers to get full throttle. I like to call it extra plenum volume 😁

 

Lol. That's the way to do it. My throttle spacer is going to supply nitrous and increase plenum volume.

Depends what you consider a lot. 250 shot through a plate kit on an MSD should be no issue at all. But I don't consider that a lot of nitrous either. Any more than that I'll do direct port. Nitrous Outlet, Mamo and MSD never warned me otherwise as I was setting everything up and they were all aware of my plans when I was planning my build.

 

Ok, so high compression with rocket fuel... got it

And it is a chemical TB spaceur!! LOL

Still rockin the NW 102. That might be the single longest lasting performance part I've put on the car, now that I think about it. it's the one thing that keeps getting copied forward. I'll call it an "investment". Sounds better that way.

I'm very interested to hear how you like the triple disc. Keep me posted!

 

I have a warr 102 and often wonder if porting it is worth anything 🤔

 

I know a guy who can port that for you lol. He just may have ported my plate and msd to match the Holley 105. That and my rocket fuel is the key. The car will actually be set up for flex fuel but I like c85. Nice and clean and I have it around for my other car anyway.

 

 

Not much but I got the front of the motor started going back together. Not going to go much further until heads are on and I've spun the motor over some to make sure all is well.

 

CMD Extreme Pressure Lube #3 works well for balancer installation.

Ditto on what 70Chevelle said on the light hone. I had to do that on an LS3 stroker at the shop. Couldn’t even get the dang thing started on the crank until I honed it.
It’s a real bitch getting the crank key aligned on a hard press. And if you pull it on with the key miss indexed, you will be just about as mad as you were pulling the stuck hub off. 😊

Odd about the cam plate bolts. I agree I like the normal bolt style better.

The new balancer just arrived. The instructions say exactly how much press fit is intended. So, I'll measure the snout and then the hub to determine the interference. Glad y'all suggested it. I been getting several PMs saying the same thing as well. So really, I must have just been dumb and forced the thing on two years ago when I did the 428 swap. I just don't remember it being that difficult to install at the time.

 

Head gaskets and pushrods arrived. Heads on and torqued valve lash all set. Spun it over a million times or so. PTV is very good. No fear at all there.

I might decree the cam one last time and then finish the button up.

 

This thing will be making some noise soon. Good to hear bud.

 

I like when a cam is decreed... adds meaning somehow..... lol

 

It was installed with authority.

 

Awesome work! Can't wait to hear it start up!

 

Hit a snag but very minor. My fuel rails are not compatible with the intake. Fun fun fun. If I buy tall injectors I can make one work. Or I order a fuel rail and keep my current injectors.

Will post up what I decide. In the meantime I have not got **** done. Cause last minute holiday ****.

 

I'd do sniper fuel rails and have the ability to go to a return style fuel system. But your injectors are maxed almost now right?

 

……..which is pretty important right now... Have a blessed and Merry Christmas everybody!!

 

That is what I run. But when I bought it I still had tall injectors. Then when I did the sniper intake it came with the fuel rail kit for it. Now with msd and short injectors nothing I have fits right.

Need to see if holley will ship just the brackets. Or else I can swap in my 42's, but they were so maxed out it was absurd. Or I just get yet another fuel rail.
