kevin you say it so much you dont even realize how much you say it. but whatever you want to discuss it more come see me.

what did i do to you jonathan? enlighten me. carrying some issues i dont know about? btw happy bday.


more importantly you guys cant even tell when i was making a sarcastic joke or not. maybe your the ones who are taking shyt to seriously. i thought maybe the dozen + smilies would be a instant indicator on the level of seriousness in the post.


and i got a pm of some interest. lets see if it happens or not, if it does, its lights out time for alot of people.

Ya blue, I got a set if the gmr's. Or so I'm led to believe. I'm doing some checking when I get home. I know they make power past the stock ones but I'm just on the fence.

I was laughing mark

I read that you need solid lifters. I have some but not sure if I want to use the bates turbo can or the gmr's since its still going to be my dad for a while.

Here mark, this is for you:

Ya you need solid lifters to run them. Not bad cams. Just no one wants to put the effort needed to make them work properly.

So they are going to have to be adjusted when warm I'm assuming

I'm guessing since there wasn't a lot of them made, there isn't many people who used them

Can't decide which can to run in the car. Stock, gmr or the bates turbo cam. Not sure how solid lifters would handle the cold

Solid lifters are a pain in the ass in my opinion. Could you potentially make more power with them yes. Is it worth it? Well Mr.Belvedere will tell us soon on his set up haha.

Lol I'm wondering how they would like the cold since it would see at least 1 more winter. I'm thinking I'll run the stock cams and see how much more than marks car it makes. Basically the same engine just blower vs turbo

Stock cams on an LSJ-T work really well actually. It's not a hold back by any means.

catch moi? not even close hahahahahahaha they look great tho, did you get the mrz strut caps to go with the bar? i always loved how the caps looked.

i myself am collecting parts for a few different projects. i have a steel clutch line, single bezel for the instrument cluster, and ordering crossed drilled rotors and pads this week. i am making a new shifter knob as we speak, it will be cool when its done. also may even put blue threads into the shifter boot. need to order list is shrinking, but goes as follows, steel brake lines, new rear calipers, aem meth kit, aem meth fail safe gauge, and i might have to hit up travis for that bottle. of coarse i will need a retune.

it appears that the pm i received was nothing more then a carrot being dangled in front of me. so i doubt i will jump into a 1320. unless he actually gets back to me, coz funds are in place and i am ready to buy it for the right price.
