^^ Haha. Once I get out of debt, I'm putting a stall in mine. Not sure whether I want a 3k, 3.5k, or 4k yet. Just out of curiosity, do you gain/lose any mpg?


On a side note; varsity baseball season has started and we are 1-1. Beat one of the top ten teams in 3A (Heritage Hills) but lost on a walk off home run to North Posey.. BUT, I did hit two homeruns in that game. Haha, first two hits of my varsity career are homeruns. Woohoo!

Well I wouldn't go any lower than 3600 but i'd say 4k but I like to go fast! Now as far as gas milage it will go down with a stall but if ur worried about gas milage u got the wrong car anyway. U ever figure out what's wrong with it?

Haha, I'm not worried about it, I was just wandering. And not yet. I mean, we've limited it down to a couple of things. Of course, that broken bolt is one. Another, my grandpa (yeah i know) was talking about when Colton got it tuned by Frost, that's when it had the headers that didn't have the 'vents'(?) and afterwards he traded them with someone for the ones that do have the 'vents' and that might be throwing the tuning off a little bit? Another is the maf sensor or something. My friend's dad is supposed to bring home some sort of thing that tells me my fuel to air ratio but he hasn't got around to it soo.. But I know how to drive it to where it doesn't miss or backfire but that means no getting on the pipe when it's hot..


I graduated in 2008
Oh, well we play MD this saturday. I wouldn't be surprised if they beat us.. They've got TONS of talent at each position.

Well today after baseball prac, me and Colton will be changing out my O2 sensors and cleaning the MAF sensor to see what that does. I was reading that you can clean your MAF sensor but that will only last about a month. If the cleaning helps, we'll buy a new MAF and hopefully that'll be what it is. I got my fingers crossed.

ok, so this seems like the local f-body hangout. Always been a fan of the f-body(firebirds). I've had an 89 TA for 14 years , super slow, but will be getting my spare LT1 after i finish the build i'm about to start. I have a 97 WS6 formula A4 to hold the new build. I'm leaning towards a 355, with LE2 heads. Anyone know of someone local that can do a good job porting aluminum heads? LE2's rock, but are kinda expensive. Also needing a trans built to handle the 450rwhp i eventually want to be at. I've look at the FLT and performabuilts on, but would rather have someone local build it. Thanks.

Just a suggestion.. Research LE3's and a gm847 cam.. Hear that's a ls1 slayer... But idk any porters, for trannys check rpm transmissions also.. Someone will chime in soon I'd say!

As far as porting I've heard tri-state cyclinder heads was a decent place. As far as trans you can go wrong with anyone here that has been mentioned so far. Locally I don't know anyone I'd trust. Why not swap an lsx into ur car? Then take that engine and put it n ur other car. Just an idea. Where exactly r u from?

Ya it's kind of a no brainer if you have the cash that is. It looks to be a very in depth swap in an ltx vehicle. I'd love to help u out if u decide to go that route! These engines make huge power with a carb setup.
