sub-2800 stalls suck ***. I'm runnin a B&M 2400 Holeshit and it sucks. It's really just there to replace the stock one, not to help launches much. If you want to keep the car streetable, go for 3000 or 3200. For more of a racecar, a 3600-4000.

Well i have a LS1 and i have a good friend from texas. Like i said before its all for ***** and giggles, and i'm not hiding behind my computer, i'm really not worried about somebody coming and whipping my *** but as i said before no way in hell am i gonna **** with anybody from the military just out of the respect i have for them and what they do and because they're dangerous. But if you wanna race i'm up for it. Oh i'm from danville if you know where that's at. If you head down BG parkway to the springfield exit you can here fast that way.

yeah man, chris seems tight as hell. also though, tons of write ups. TCs are nothing tough at all. and a cam is just as easy, as long as you do not rush it. make sure everything is greased and tightened down to specs. nothing hard, just need to be careful. have done both quite a few times. and you also get to say YOU DID IT YOURSELF!!!!

...and you don't have to get raped by a mechanic for labour fees.

Yeah i would like to do the cam myself because it'd give me experience, but i can get a mad installation deal on the stall because my parents know a guy who owns a transmission shop.

I've got a buddy with a 99 Camaro Ls1 A4, even the same color as my T/A. But back to the story he went to a local shop to see how much it'd cost to get some headers installed and it was gonna be $250. That's just awful, you could almost buy another set of pacesetters for that.

that will work! trust me, i love saying that i did this **** myself. it helps prep you for future projects and you learn so much from doing **** yourself, or even watching, it is incredible. I started watchin people work on cars from 9 to 11, then i started turning wrenches when i was 12, by starting my first build up, a 72 for bronco.

I have enough faith to do the easy bolt on crap myself. But messin with the internals scares me. Im not too educated in that feild.

Yeah that's how i am. These cars are really fragile and parts are really expensive.

prolly cause header install IS A BITCH, hell it was hard as **** on my bronco, but in stalled my headers when i dropped the motor in, just like this. . . .


that was the day i finished putting my motor together, and checkin all the bolts and what not.

Oh chris, how long have you been in kentucky because your car looks kinda fimiliar. I saw one in Cambelsville that looked a lot like yours.

BigBronco

just remember, if you took it off, you can put it back together. it is scary, but just start with little things to build your confidence, and then work up. when i did my first motor build, i was so afraid after i dropped it in the car when i would turn the key, a huge fireball would blow up, or some crazy ****!

The worst part is my dad was a mechanic for about 15 years. He hates helping me work on my car. Says its too complicated for him. Oh well...

Yeah there is a few bad *** cars around where i live, but most of them are either stockers like mine or damn close. But yeah we'll run'em, i am kinda curious as to waht you've got in that thing. I wouldn't want to waste my time or yours.
