same rim painted black?

shit looks good black though

essentially...

factory z06 corvettes come staggered 17x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rear. Minimum I can run in the front now is 18. So I had to get a repo 18x9.5. They are dirt cheap in black so I went with them. I'll get my other ones coated later on. But for now I'm going to rock front black and rear gunmetal

Solid rig brother!!!!

Column should be here tomorrow.

Yes it was with the new cam. Sounds horny. I'll get video for sure. Tomorrow night I'm off to edmonton to take the ecu and get the new tune dumped on it. Upgraded timing tables, increase injector recovery rate on decel in idle, increase rev limiter, and increase idle air. Along with some minor touch ups.

Theres a name for it. But what is happening. Is when I roll up to a red light, stop sign or stop. The idle drops down to where it should idle, and the injectors are not squirting fast enough to save the idle. How it was explained to me was you can adjust how fast the injectors react, the slower the rate, the more linear, the fast, the less linear. So theres a fine line. This problem is also associated with too much cam and not enough idle air flow. So all this should hopefully be fixed tonight.

On that note... FUCK Summit Racing. I payed for 1-2 day freight. Not lets let the column sit around for a day, package it and ship it out at 5 the NEXT fucking day. So monday it is. Fox Creek. Retards.

So the car is back on the road. Started raining 20 minutes into the cruise. SOn of a bitch. Ohwell. updates to follow. Just wanted to update saying everything went in nice. Althought Ididit puts their key position in a retarded postion. 5 o clock is stupid for a key.

A buddy of mine owns Horsepower Solutions. He tuned it for me.

Stock long block.... I'd keep it tame around the 450rwhp range. Put rod bolts and valve springs in and turn it up to low 500's.

Remember.... My kit at 7psi last year made 475rwhp and 67xftlbs!!!

lsone_chevelle · « **Reply #80 on:** June 18, 2009, 01:13:27 AM »

Here are some pics guys. Boost gauge isn't reading right or something. 11psi spring in the synapse gate, yet I only see 6psi on the gauge. Plumbed from gauge to intake. Perhaps my problem???

Doo it!

Thanks for the comments guys. Kinda getting tired of the no traction issues so I'm pricing out Strange SS series drag brakes for the rear. Going to a 15x10 beadlock drag wheel with a drag radial. Goin 10.5 style with the car.

97Econobox · « **Reply #84 on:** June 29, 2009, 02:16:17 PM »

I love all that tread under that car, the stance is just Tough. really fucking cool ride.

lsone_chevelle · « **Reply #85 on:** September 20, 2009, 02:30:25 AM »

so I'm alive. Life is busy. But....

The car went 11.25@129 last night. 1.9 60foot haha. Stock torque converter on bald 18" drag radials.

Tranny is finally shitting the bed after 4 years of abuse on a bone stock 4l80 out of a pickmeup truck.

Gonna toss a 3400 or 3600 stall in it over winter, 10.5" slicks on 15" beadlocks, build the tranny, and new valve springs. trying to get some pics and video uploaded.

how does that turbo spool? i am trying to pick a turbo for a v8 and i am lost. i am thinking single turbo on the smaller side for a chevy 350 cause it will be for a truck to tow my racecar.

junkyard racer · « **Reply #87 on:** September 20, 2009, 09:46:54 AM »

I love and hate this car all at the same time. Engine/suspension/brakes/car is pure tits.

The crappy megan seats and the defis do not fit the car one bit.

Just my $.02. Also, not much of a fan of the wheels either.

I would do the t3/t4 turbo from a t-bid manual trans. There available and work well on lower boost applications and the spool fairly quick.
.60 intake
.63 exhaust

too small of an exhaust housing, get the fuck out of this thread with that shit. ask in general discussion.
