Enjoy the nice weather while youve got it. I intended to get tons done tomorrow but its supposed to be 2* with a wind chill of -25 it was 50 today and I was busy with family, ugh!

 

Damn man get a heater lol

 

Heaters! Making the man cave habitable all year round since 1936

 

Fixed

 

Got one but I haven't had a chance to try it yet. I think 30k btu should be enough for my one stall garage lol

 

Need to find wheels
http://www.summitracing.com/search?S...&keyword=3793R

Valve springs will be done later this week and cams dropped in. Wet sanding my intake mani, I'll post pictures later. Waiting on timing bolts, ATI and return fuel system. some serious work will be done late this week!

 

**** ya! Moar pow for everyone!

 

Holy sheeeeit. Stage two turbo cams and zzp 82# valve springs are in. Took me all afternoon and part of the evening. Intake springs went like a charm, exhaust was a fight till the death, because the tool would hit the back of the bay. I just got ARP hardened timing bolts, waiting on my BRFPS and ATI so I can wrap it up. Still haven't bought tires yet, kinda waiting on tax money.

 

Oh boy oh boy! sticking with stock wheels?

 

Nope pretty sure I found some 16" wheels on summit I'll buy with those

 

Definitely going to need some traction!

This thread needs moar pics!

 

Ask and you shall receive

 

Yay! What wheels are you looking at? And why 16's?

 

Theres a few different ones I've narrowed down to. 16" means more sidewall= more traction

 

Kinda figured but was just wondering.

Cant wait til my truck fiasco is done so I can get back to my build.

 

There's some progress! Its so nerve racking doing the damn springs in the car The keepers are so small. I like this update though!!

What tires are you going to run on the street?

 

you need to move the legs of the compressor out to each end of the head

Makes sense, the rods were bowing when doing the outter springs. I just saw this is how staged had his set up

 

Going all out for dat traction. Do you drive your car all the time when its nice out?

 

Yeah in the summer it's my daily. So I'll have daily tires and tune, and when it's time to play, I'll put the tires on, swap tunes and pump up the footballs

 

I ran those for track tires my first few seasons. They will rub a bit when turning. The only downfall to em is they are heavy as hell.

 

I'm open to suggestions! NT05 NT555 are supposed to be good tires but I haven't heard any good reviews on them

 

in for updates

 

Oh so you'll still have normal street tires too. I have the nt555's and am selling them to my friend with my wheels because I want a shorter sidewall since I'll have coilovers. They are 235/45 and I really liked them. I am going with NT05's in 235/40 all around.

They will be for everyday driving. They won't compete with the radials.
