that blows goats. i am sure you should recieve it this week.


i am just saying sorry to jonathan (big bird) right now. dude its time for a change. i started to remove the live after death today. i decided it was time to park it for a few months.

 

Ya it can't come too soon. What are you gonna do while it's parked

 

Mark I'm buying a set of aem gauges with the removable faces so you can change from white to black. Would you be able to scan those faces and change them so they look like my stock gauges?

 

its not a easy job. it would cost a small fortune in computer time. even then i would need to see what you got going on to see if i can do it for sure.

as for the car, there is a ton i got to do. one thing is for sure this will be the final time. i am powder coating everything to match. it will be pretty much a major over haul.

ps jonathan never fear i will work ol eddie into the final product somehow.

 

Are you changing parts or doing a clean up powder job

 

Is there a TVS in your future?

 

i really dont know how far im going to go with it but i need to drop the motor and tranny. got to do the clutch, hubs, redo the option b system, maybe new axles, most likely new pnp head, ls4 TB, new gaskets and head bolts. also going to do things like the thermostat, maybe NBS delete, maybe valve springs. also remove all painted parts for powder coating. rebuild brakes with new pads and rotors. maybe while the motor is out a clean up and coat of paint. with me removing the wrap i need a new wrap. some interior work like dash trim, my other steering wheel, windshield cowl, new windshield. i will most likely do some new wheels. i will need a new tune after it is said and done.


everything else is in next to new condition.


like i said before a TVS is in my future. i am just not 100% sure of when. we will see when it happens.

 

Does anyone here have the valve spring tool? if I had one I'd do springs right away

 

negative, i also forgot, i will be lightly spraying some meth lol. so ya meth kit is needed.

 

Yea I love my meth kit What kit are you going to get?

 

Wow a guy ran a 12 sec on a 2.8 pulley and mods

 

i am not sure on which kit. i need to do some more research on the subject. i also forgot to mention i need to do the timing and evap control module. there was also some rumblings about a catch can system but that can wait for now.

i think my biggest problem right now besides clutch and hubs is my timing. i hope after this freshen up of the gaskets i will have fixed any issue i may have

 

I can answer any questions about thw snow stage 2 kit. Cam timing or ignition?

 

I clipped the tiny little ***** off it and replaced them with big ***** implants lol. I maxed out my TVS and got bored with it. You'll get there someday.

 

A lot up supercharged guys are too stubborn to switch to turbos. Myself I've never driven a ss/sc but I have no complaints about the turbo on my car. I have have no real opinion

 

Quite the opposite. More and more are going turbo while the TVS is slowly dying. You just hit a point with it where you either stick with a max 380whp ish or spray a bunch of nos and hope the motor stays together with a TVS. Turbo just gives you so much more flexibility and ease of power.

 

Sounds like the LSJ SS/Sc is an endangered species.

 

lol dont you mean vag? a come on blue you know im only giving you a hard time. lol i will die a supercharged man. it has nothing to do with hp #'s. when you romp on a sc, it just makes me giddy. i really couldnt care how fast it goes as long as it screams. i have owned turbos, they do nothing for me.

 

Ya true. There still are the supercharged purists but to go big you have to make the switch

 

That 2.8 pulley 12 sec lsj sounded sick I do admit

 

to be honest 380hp is nothing to laugh at on the street here. you would put the boots to alot of cars.

 

Ya I do really well with just a bolted TC

 

that doesnt surprise me in the least. a tvs car here would send alot of guys home crying. so would a zfr car.

 

I have my goals for this year and I need to beat my brother we've been talking trash for years.

 

Don't get me wrong my TVS set up ripped. No other Balt around here came close to it. Just the power addict in me wants more. And I was tired of having to run my set up on the ragged edge to get the power I wanted out of it.
