I think Rice just wanted to be able to say that.

 

lol yea

 

well those cars make what 295 crank? which i guess brings it down to 260ish wheel. we all did roll races to minimize driver wins/losses and id win by a fender to a car. so maybe im making 260-270 whp is all im getting at.

but man... swapping cams ported head and e85 i hope to see some more power than just 300!

o well either way guess ill find out. ricer diagnostics will get me nowhere.

 

Nice winter build list Rice, hope this goes well and you put some good power down.

 

300 is pretty quick. The jump from e85 cams and ported head seemed as big of an increase as stock to stage 2 on the butt dyno .

Think of it this way, though. If you go tvs in the future, you will see larger gains everything you do.

When you get tuned and all, I don't think you will be disappointed.

 

280 BHP for GMS1 Rice.

They put down around 260-270 whp though, & around 290-300 wtq.

 

anyone know of some good parts going on sale next week? preferably ones on my list?

ottp says he could drop the price on the 75# supertechs

 

I wont be doing any black friday shopping this year

Spent all my funds on the GMR head, timing components, gaskets, seals, nuts, bolts, etc.

 

well jeff, atleast you got everything you need pretty much lol

 

Sure did!!

The head will be off this afternoon afterwork.

I'll prob swap my valve springs over to the new head today as well.

 

dude... do us all a huge favor and take lots of pics and make a how to! one that can be piggybacked with the cams & springs install!

it would be soo dope

 

I have lots of photos of me tearing it apart so far. I plan on making a nice how to.

 

words can't express my thankfulness so here is a picture of a rabbit with a pancake on his head

 

Lmao

 

'nother update while i'm at it... something's definately screwy with my trans... maybe clutch maybe tob not sure

here's my thread on that (always a thread lol)
https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/driv...m-game-304372/

anyway think its a good excuse to pull the motor out or drop the cradle

 

Just drop it all as a whole. Trust me I did it another way and regretted it. Next time I will drop the whole cradle and jack the body off

 

im getting in over my head here probably

 

Nah you got this

 

x2!!

 

I pulled my motors out the top, and it took no time at all....but I have a redline and we got engine bay room fer dayz

 

powell talks about dropping the cradle like its nothing then again he's a pro

 

you can pull the engine out the top if you drop the trans out the bottom. Thats pointless though just drop the whole thing

 

It really is nothing. Follow the lsj build book and after you'll see how easy it is.

 

The cradle is easy to drop. I was just saying I have a redline, which means I have room to pull the trans and motor out the top all connected with ease. You cobalt guys don't have it that easy.

 

1. insert motorcycle jack under oil pan.
2. unbolt engine and rear trans mount
3. unbolt subframe
4. lower assembly
5. raise car body
6. insert random hose/cable/wire undoing and beer drinking
