Congrats bro! Glad to see you got her up and running

 

awww man I missed out on the fun

i was expecting a more lopey idle from these cams though!

 

congrats dude, it's an awesome feeling when a build finally is completed after such a long time.

 

Goooood Stuff! Time for some fun.

Oh, and I like the look of the engine bay. That's kinda the look I was wanting... black valve cover & black supercharger. What'd you use?

 

Used wrinkle finish black paint that I bought as Autozone. Also, its totally untuned hence the stockish idle sound. Trust me though, anyone who was there even with the crazy richness, timing, and high idle speed, could clearly hear some nasty cams sneakin out the exhaust. Just at idle, the exhaust blows your hand away from the exhaust pipe HARD. It definitely did not do that when it was stock. I am super excited to get this thing tuned and ****. I was averaging 14.2 mpg on my first drive I got up to like 1/3 throttle at 3500 rpm, and it put me in the seat pretty good, this thing will make power through 8000 rpm, so the break in period is going to be torturous! Also the clutch is AMAZING!!! Its got quite a bit less pedal pressure than stock, but you can tell is a crazy clutch because as you let it out, it chatters pretty good. It feels almost like stock (except for the mild chatter), and Will from Centerforce said the clutch could easily handle 800 hp Awesome clutch!

Also, here is a video from my phone, just a walk around at idle. Real quick.

 

ya the car sounds bad ass..you can def. tell theres gonna be alot of power coming out of it..i cant wait either...i had fun today!

 

That clutch bleeding/line popping off was scaring the **** out of me!!!

 

ya but i got it to hold up so dont worry,if it didnt pop off on the way to the gas station then your fine...i made sure that clip was tight

 

Yeah... I'm pretty sure I know what problem you experienced. I HATE that piece that snaps onto the top of the Transmission. That caused me a lot of trouble when I did my trans swap.

 

it only popped off twice so i crushed it down a little and bleed it and it was fine

 

The clutch is awesome. I kinda wish it had a little more pedal pressure, but its fine. It will take a little getting used to, a monster clutch like that, and my motor which now has ~30 lbs less rotating mass, makes for easy stalling.

 

so how long it take?little over a yr?

 

17 months, 5 days.

 

wow awesome man, any close up pics of that gauge cluster? i am curious how you made it

are you high on vicidin tonite?

 

This is great news Cam. Let's get that baby tuned and it will be a monster. Congrats.

 

good **** man, so I guess that clutch bleeding procedure worked good..
Can't wait to see this thing on vid going full tilt down the rd.

 

If it's as good as the last driveby video I might have to change my underware.

 

when are you gonna tune this beast?

 

When ever steve can let me borrow the computer. I only need it for a few hours. I have some more stuff to work out though before I throw a tune on it...

Like the fact that its throwing 7 codes. 1 is for the stupid A/C pressure sensor, 1 is for the rear 02 sensor, and 3 is for the FRONT O2 sensor, and 2 is for the knock sensor. So yeah, gotta figure out why the damn thing is not registering the knock sensor OR the front O2. Also the belt squeals louder than the exhaust

 

Glad to see it running man. I had my doubts... Nice work dude, looks like you are at the home stretch. Congrats.

 

blower cams don't make much lope noise
::shrugs::

congrats.

 

Good going Cam It was about time

On a side note, my DD engine arrived 8am this morning and I have an appointment for dyno tuning 10am Thursday.

 

Was just thinking...you need to get a plate frame / sticker that says, "My other car is also a Cobalt".

 

do what a friend of mine did with his c6z. the plate on it says "MySlo1" he has a c5z. that plate on it is 402-tt

you figure it out
