ummmm what car did you recently buy opening this thread seems to have made me forget?
holy hell that setup looks clean!
more specs damn it full details donchu hold out on us!
i may have said fvck it with my 3800 disasters but its still fun to watch others sink money into them!
Well.. the old setup got me to 10.4's.... with the ZZP converter failure (2000+ TCC RPM Slip) I was dead in the water on going any faster.
So laundry list of things been in process since...
Grand Am Front Brakes
Rear suspension upgrades.
Heads were taken apart and cleaned up again and new guides.
136# springs and T&D Rockers added.
Then got a set of brick sized valve covers from Kevin Yates to fit over the rockers.
Didn't want 4 valve cover gaskets with spacers.
Block was taken apart and cleaned up and had to get crank machined to clean it up.
Still stock 200k+ mile crank/rods/pistons ... Just new bolts/bearings/rings.
Wasn't planning on running it yet, but now has the STR6 race cam from ZZP that they used in their drag car.
Lower mount setup to remove upper mounts.
Alternator moved down low.
Battery was moved to trunk.
Tubular headers are in the works.
Upgraded to Precision 7675 .81ar ball bearing turbo
All new Transmission. Switched to 2.93" GMR set. GMR Input shaft. GMR output shaft. Already had the GMR Torsen.
Precision Converter, triple disc locking converter with spacer plate to make it fit. Plans to lock in all of 2nd-3rd.
Experimetal stealth Trans brake (4th is removed, which is fine as it was already in my old trans build)
Support bracing installed.
2nd gen Sonnax 3rd piston (one everyone has used for last few years have an issue)
Deep transmission pan.
Plus some other tricks I guess Dave is doing. Basically going for the most built 4T65e ever done.
Might be a few little things I am forgetting...been a long process.
Crossing fingers its ready for the meet... been waiting so long on this I may be developing some
kind of condition from it..
