Hell no man, lol. She's gonna run 10's as soon as she can get the cam bolt to stay tight, hah. You want to talk expensive, she's no really mechanically inclined. One of her earliest posts on ftv6 were something to the extent of "I dropped it off at the shop, and told them I don't want it back until it can run 10's". My guess is there's $20k+ in that thing by now, and it's still breaking/not running right.

I'm still educating myself on the meth yet, my plan was to run snow's ready made boost juice until I get this nightmare figured out. It's one less thing I have to mess with, plus the mix will be so much more consistent being pre-made, the tune should be spot on with it at all times. I wasn't going to run meth originally, but I'm scared to death about chipping a piston (stupid thin ring lands). It's more for protection, not to have a reason to push it harder.

 

damn i just spent like 2 hrs reading this and now im sad its over

 

thats quite a nice unit you got there music

 

lol, this thread is kind of all over the place. I changed my mind so many times before picking a power adder, yeesh.

No progress to report, say for I'm working on dropping the engine. This will probably grind to a stop for a while, since I quit my job the other day (not getting into it)

And I'm selling my painted pacesetter headers, $130 shipped, they're boxed up and ready to roll. PM me.

 

^ Ouch, quit a job -- in this economy?

I think it's really great to see V6 performance projects -- obviously there are a lot more for V8s...

PS: Tease didn't want to reveal how much $ she dropped on her evil twin 3800, but I think you might be in the ballpark...

 

I have my reasons for it, but this isn't the MusicMan Soap Opera network.

And tease told us the cost she had into it a long time back, so I'm about as close as anyone will get.

 

fish are biting on the willapa. come on up and you can change my gears and go fishing at the same time. guy at the shop wants 300 bucks to do it so thats what its worth to me. anyways yah so are you staying with the latest plan? heck your gona miss all the good weather for the car at the track.

 

Man, I'd love some fishing, especially good fishing. I might make a trade for some fishing and cookin afterwords. And tell me about missing the weather, it sucks. I should be done though before PIR closes, if all goes as planned. It won't be full power until next season, but it will be running really mild boost soon.

Speaking of which, just got the engine out. Went so much better being the second time I've done this. Just gotta get the crank out, fix it, put the engine back together, and put it in with the g-force trans. Then start bolting parts on.

 

lol i figured you were getting track fever by now. gotta have that rush. were finishing up with crabbing now so between that and coachin soccer im really short on time so sport fishing will have to wait till after the 15th.

 

So I haven't touched the engine yet, heck, I haven't even looked at it since I pulled it out. Shows my drive for this project. The complexity of it is kinda crazy, I've force fed my head so much new info in the last month that it hurts, lol.

So, what I'm doing is widely claimed as impossible, running 11's with a v6 f-body that still has a T5 in it. If I do it, I'll be the first that anyone knows of.

Speaking of T5, my g-force built t5 came today finally. I've got every part to make a running car now. Just need motivation...
