Nope. As stated I won't compromise and want to keep the car the way it sits. Nothing has been pulled out of it except spare tire and jack. Sees the street far more than track. SS hood is fiberglass. Cam was making power to 6800rpm/shifting at 7100rpm/crossing traps at 6900rpm and running 27" Hoosiers. Always have run the stock wheels up front too:

Back in 1997 when steel wheels were $50 a piece from a junk yard and car was running 12.2's w/ 1.75 60':



Running 11.2's with a 1.55 60'

 

qft.............

 

Wow, he really does have car. Writing "le check" can fix anything. Cant wait to read of his next implosion.

 

The butt hurt-o-meter is starting to rise it would seem...

 

Did you really put a smaller cam than stock in yours? If so, I'd keep quiet if I were you...

 

Shut it Dick, I could add 200lb to my car and you still have nothing for me.

 

butt hurt man-crush makes Richard sad.

 

3 2 7 LT1 for ever. Glad it's going back together at what ever pace. I think when you have start worrying about things like retirement and health insurance it takes the place of F-bodies and getting a car done.

 

I ain't butt hurt.

Just sayin' I can make my car weigh just the same as yours, and you still ain't got nada for me ya hurrr?

 

Thanks. Yeah, not going to look for anything spectacular from the new motor. I dub thee, Project Mediocrity.

Trying too hard, man-crush. You want trolling lessons just give me a holler.

 

Good to see some progress with the car. I have not been on here in ages and see your post. Funny how house stuff and other BS takes over the car stuff fund in a hurry. Home ownership is not all what it's hyped up to be

 

hahaha good to see nothings changed here! SSR bash fest continues
j/p GL with the build

 

Hey Glen. McCheck has been sent so the ball is back in the builder's court. Once this pile is together I'll have to make the rounds up Maryland way. You and I can be the creepy dudes in the parking lot that are 300 years older than the rest of the crowd.

I wouldn't have it any other way. Thanks.

 

Bowl work and getting rid of the remaining casting flash.

 

Nice hole in the top of the intake port runner. That should really clean things up. Thx for sharing.

 

Its to promote turbulent flow

 

A gain of at least 14hp per intake port, cardo.

 

It injects electrolytes, its what engines need.

 

By electrolytes you mean....naaaws. Plumbed under the valve cover, stealthy

 

How many kits can one hide under a valve cover?

All of them.
