hey I could use a set of hardened pushrods for my build coming soon. Ellis is going to be doing the work so looks like this may be the first thing to go good for me ??? my heads n cam and ARP studs should be here soon and then its wait for tax return and soon thereafter the shortblock and payment to Ellis for the work. GOD I CANT WAIT !!!!
You want to talk about shitty luck to make a very long story short.........
I bought my car, 1 week later it spent over a month in the shop getting a new cam and lifters (stock lifters failed and killed the cam). got it back, shortly thereafter installed my STS. 1 week later it spent the whole summer (over 2 months) in the shop getting a new complete engine. got it back, shortly after put the turbo back on. after the 4th clutch in the period of about 2 months finally one held up. then someone saw fit to come in my garrage and vandalize the brakes and steering, in the shop again. after another month and a half I get it back just in time for the engine to blow again due to the shop changed my T-stat unbeknownst to me to stock T-stat and it was tuned for 160' and was causing major detonation. so NOW my car sits untill I scrounge up the rest of the $$ for the complete build costing me another 5k to 6k $$$$. hows that for some **** ??

I hope that makes things right

BTW, Russ, I've got 12 Franklins with your name on them. C'ya Monday morning.
Ellis, I need your number(I must have deleted the old PM with it). As long as we're planning to put those headers in my car I'm going to add a couple of other "little" items to the list, like:
-installing my new shifter
-braided steel brake/clutch lines

well,
the car made it home...
sounds great, pulls great (all the way thru 4th(135+))
got one check engine light, (map) cleared it, it hasn't come back.
still some tuning to iron out (just a little idle searching)
and the nitrous install (when we get the new wet plate kit)
now,
to put more miles on her

it's all the GTO's
you have to do it from below,
hugging the tranny
man, the car sonds great,
just waiting for the frost to get off the road, wanna go play !!!

Yeah, the reason I haven't already done it myself is because of that. I don't have a lift, or even a good safe place to use jack and blocks. Word is you need to let the tranny come down a few inches to give you the room to work.

I'm looking to go DP maybe. I have a dual nozzle NX wet kit right now. Nitro Dave special with all the fixins. Trade a few things maybe? I have polished fuel rails from Nasty Performance. Its only been sprayed 3 times on Toms dyno. Full bottle. We can work a deal if your looking to use nitrous, just need a different kit. pm me let me know. My kit actualy cost a little more but we're not talking about a direct swap.
