Damn man. Sucks to hear about the engine failure. The upgraded stuff doesn't suck though. Real nice work.

Let me know if there's anything I do for you.

Thanks everyone! Ed, I sent you an email.

700rwhp sounds nice.
I ran a 11.1 @ 128 detonating all the way down the track
Not sure on weight. Removed some stuff, but also added a lot. I need to weigh it sometime.

Bingo. The stock lines do not match up at all.



Here is where I'm at now:



Everything was going good. It was ready to go back in this weekend. That is, until I found out my exhaust cross-over/merge hits the new oil pan. I need to make a new cross-over which is going to delay things for a few weeks I would imagine.

Who built the turbo kit? Looks nice, I still can't make up my mind if I should go ProCharged or single turbo. Each has their positives, but I just can't make up my mind, but then again its a couple years off

Too bad about the cross over pipe, but that type of thing always happens to me. You get something to work, then change it, and then you have to change 3 other things to make it all work together again haha. You still have alot of summer left, thats what my buddies keep telling me

I've had a BMR and Spohn K-member and both of them needed modifications for the brake lines, the stock lines look like crap on the BMR. Its probably going to be the next thing I do.

Looks good bro. I was thinking with your setup it should be a mid 10 second ride. Then I was really thinking, if your car was a 3k lbs with you in it, then you would have a 9 sec. ride

Yes summer is still here, but it's also been a while since my car has been down. Not to mention it took 3 years to finish it the first time. As long as it's done by September for the LTX Shootout. Realquick made my hotside turbo kit.

It was capable of 10's before if everything would of went smoothly. It's more setup for street driving with minimal weight reduction; but it does an amazing job of keeping traction. A lot of that is due to the 4l60e, 3.00 gear ratio, and fully upgraded rear suspension.

I hear that, my car was down for a year right after I bought it. I got to put 8 miles on it, then the motor decided to call it quits Been a work in progress ever since

REAPER13

Sounds like my car, except I put a few hundred on it before it died. It was resurected a year later and I may have to sell it soon.

The build looks good and I hope it holds up this time. Subscribing for updates.

I don't know if it was asked but what valve covers are you running. They look like canton's but with SBC bolt locations.

Ralls

They are cheap ebay valve covers. It took some work to get them to fit. The bolts that came with them were too short. Mainly because the AFR perimeter bolt holes are recessed to far down in the head. Even then, I could only get 3 out of 4 bolts in because the holes didn't line up perfectly. I ended up drilling the VC bolt hole guides larger to get it to fit. I may change to something else one day. Not a huge fan of tall valve covers.

I decided to continue on and have the shop who will tune my car also fabricate the merge pipe. Tonight I slammed it back in. Tomorrow will be the tedious part of hooking everything up.

What are you doing different with you crankcase venting. I noticed on post #16(5th photo) you have brass nipple coming out where the stock valve was. I'm looking at redoing my crankcase vents

Ralls

iTrader: (32)

Before I just had a vented catch can running off the valve covers. This time I added a crankcase vacuum pump. See it mounted where the alternator was? It took a lot of work to make that happen. The brass fitting you see is for my vacuum gauge to monitor crankcase vacuum. I'm pretty excited to see how well it works.
