not bad man cant wait 2 check it out when finished

 

[phat_ridegt]

awesome so what did u decide about the heads? btw are you still willing to help my dsm friend tune?

 

[GTPPWR]

yes I am still willing to tune the dsm. I just need to make sure I have a full tank of gas before I head down. as for heads. must have duel springs. ZZP stage 4, or intense stage 4, or just have local shop here modify a set of stockers. I need to make a decision here within a few weeks.

what are you guys ideas?

 

[Fish]

Good idea going with the heavier flex plate. The one that even Intense said was worthless.

Looks good otherwise I guess.

 

[nitrous]

What are your tranny mods?

 

[syP]

50/50 tranny for him

 

[GTPPWR]

the intense flexplate is drilled for a 245mm torque converter....not heavier one.

Cryoed L67 block

I have not heard about anyone doing this, let alone a GPer. Where do you go to do it? What are the benifits? etc....

 

[GTPPWR]

a lot of the old Hotrodders did it. you cryogenically freeze the block. this cold of temperature changes the molecular structure of the block. making the molecules more dense..........making ti stronger. it can disform the block a little..but then you machine it down to be perfect.

ta da!! you ahve a block that will be VERy hard to break. the crank will most likel;y snap before the block will. there are many facilities that are capable of such things.

all in all, with my luck of blowing engines.....we will soon put it to the test.

in my honest opinion......it works. I have talked to a lot of these od guys...and they recamend it.

A cryo'ed block won't stop those pesky rods when they decide to roam free!

 

[GTPPWR]

true, but then again...cryoeing the rods, and crank wouldnt hurt either.

just found out this shop does it all in house.

 

[SaturdaysGS]

Thats hell of a list, good luck!

JW, did you cryoe the rods and crank?

I told them to go ahead and do everything and anything to make this hold up.

all the little tricks that they know to make it last. I geuss the L32 rods are only rated up to 500horse.....

but yeah I'm having them cryo evrything now.
