Default Iroc Problems

As some of you guys might have read that I got a phone call from Blood enterprises (where my car has been for the last 19 days). They think they spun a main bearing. Damn & this is my birthday as well what a sucky day.

We go up & they were kind of ya know (they had all the shop guys out ready for a fight type thing), But go get a tow dolly (had to go to 3 diff places to find one).
So we get back to Bloods & they help load up the car & we get to talking they are kewl by this time. Kind of understanding that this is my baby & that All I want is the car to get done, They were 99% done with it as well.

Then they show us this, Heres a couple other shots of the Harmonic Balancer, They fixed that.

Then they showed me the start of the dyno stuff they were doing. Max power as of Yesterday:
201.7 @ 4500RPM (@ the rear wheels ) &
282.2 @ 3000RPM

Oh well the rip apart has started now we just have to fig out how to rebuild it lol , NO time like the present to learn huh????

Ellis its got a Holly Stealth ram intake on it so I dont need the S&D. That was my birthday present last year along with the headers.

After talking to my brother in law (well Dan talked to him) It sounds like we are going to take the heads in to get rebuilt.

LOL Dan just said this is not the way to have a learning experiance lol.
