And I thought I had a problem wit impluse purchasing haha. On the plus side though it's starting to look like as a result of his build I may do doing one of my own. Not quite as crazy for right now but there should be some real nice balts in WNY this summer.

 

Some people have had problems with the Ferrea springs from what I have been reading. Although I have had mine installed for a year and have had no issues. The supertech's come with a "seat locator" which keeps them working properly. I am still looking into the issue myself that is all the info I have so far.
I am begining to worry about the Ferreas installed in my car now that I have read there are problems with them.

dont forget new sleeves, i just installed in sleeves tonight on my block, $430 for gm sleeves,at cost.... and where are you getting the arp head studs at that price??!?!?

and also with the ceramic top coating on pistons, from what i heard it doesnt last long

 

He doesn't need new sleeves?

 

sry i just went back to the picture, does area's block come with sleeves?

IMO if areas block doesnt come with them I would replacing them.

 

the short block is taken care of. no need to worry about it

gm and their torque to yield bullshit

 

classified's.....

How would someone know that?

 

^^^ kk .......... area are the stock sleeves in there? or are you running darton sleeves?

sry just read what yo wrote (area)

and i forgot who had the ceramic done, but took the motor apart to see if it held up.. and it didnt.. but that is something i heard about soo i dont kno if its entirely true..... got to love the grapevine

 

So any new updates on anything? I'm bored at work and this thread has been pretty decent for the last 2 weeks.

 

The ceramic coating on the tops doesn't last forever, but my motor that blew, after 5K very hard miles, nitrous use, all other ****, and the tops of the pistons still look perfect. Can't say as much for the block though...

 

hey dan when do you plan on ordering these parts? or did you already?

i would add a better heat exchanger to your list, your still running jake's cobra one right?

mayb some meth aswell

 

I would not run meth. What happens when your tuned for meth and you run out. Good bye motor. Meth is a bandaid fix for a bad tune or to much hot air.

His H/E should be more then enough to cool the air.

 

If you run out the only person you can blame is your self. Basically the same thing as checking to make sure you have fuel before you leave if you don't get gas. I checked my tank every couple days even though it was 2.5gallons.

 

this is why i run maf only!

sorry to see it go! crazy it blew right as you were about to scream past your buddy hittting rev limit...

might as well go with the 79's there better drivability and it leaves you much room for growth...

also if i were you i would ditch the coatings well at least the top one maybe get the skirts coated but i have seen two engines now that had less than a couple hundred mi on em and the coating were already gone on the top... ask diamond theyll even tell you that they dont last forever and every application is different

i went with non coated and file fit rings and save my self about 300 and my car runs and drives like a raped ape yet it also pulls crazy high comp #s and crazy low leakdown #s all on the stock bore 86mm and a garage platue brush job on the cyl......

 

I braked as he was going past me thats why he just blew by. There was a car coming up in front of me. And his car is definitely faster than mine. And will be even more so once he's done with everything.

It really wouldn't hurt to throw in a meth kit. As long as you remember to fill it up you'll be good to go. And I'm pretty sure thats something you'll remember. I know you probably don't wanna buy anything else right now though.

 

I'm OCD about checking mine too.. It goes alot faster anytime we have a meet
