Just wondering. Maybe you do have some headwork done on them now?

The owner of the TT Z28 did not have the car for a very long time before he sold it. He bought it with the car already TT'd. He sold it a month or two after I raced him. This makes finding any information about the car really hard for me to find. So if anyone knows someone who bought or sold a silver TT camaro from or to a guy in Lusby MD last year speak up!

I figured the stroker would make more power and I was right especially when comparing my #'s to other NA Machs... The heads are still stock.
I sent an extra pair of '03 4V heads I bought to Al in March of last year, fully expecting (and prepared) to wait 6 months or more to get them back.
It was 5 months before the heads were ready (Al is VERY busy & in demand - especially during race season).
All I had Al do to them was a slight mill for .5 or so extra compression, a good 5 angle valve job w/bronze guides & minor short-turn work.
He also installed an FR500 valvetrain kit (cams/springs/valves/followers) during reassembly.
We discussed a full Race port as an extra step, but the cost was out of my budget at the time & the rwhp gains weren't especially large.
I too might have chosen a stroker set-up over ported heads if I had to make a choice between the two.
The heads/cams Al did for me still lay waiting in my basement for when I finally decide to dig into my engine...
... don't know when that will be since I'm having so much fun with the stock engine that Ford gave me!

I had some sensor dangling under neath the car and Jason had one of the guys fix it and charged me nothing! And this was for a Mustang owner! I wish the Mustang shops were like that around here...

You were clearly paying more attention than I was. After seeing the TT LS1 motor after I pulled on him I was doing excited cartwheels and stuff in the parking lot.
I thought you said you were already a member here, but you have 0 posts? LOL WTF?
Should start a thread about what your car can do. If they called BS on my car, you know they will on yours, but your time slips don't lie!

Nice car, I love Azure Mach's. Thought about trading in my car for one but the interior layout on Mustangs is unbearable for me. Interesting vid though to say the least. You stomp every Ls1 you show but a H/C Mustang GTS gives you a run for your money.

I finally got tired of clutches and the problems they bring, hence the C4. I love shifting, but Jesus what a pain to keep the car running...

I edited the video. I usually do a lot better, but this came off of a friend's camera which recorded to tapes. Half of the races on the video (like with the TT camaro) were cut off too early from him rewinded it and recording over it. At least he got enough to see I pulled on it.
