wewt, cams finally came in from comp/ zzp

 

obligatory misc update.. bought projectors TL-r (no not TL projectors), shrouds, ccfl halos, 6000k d2s bulbs, 55w ballasts, amp to d2s harness, and mounting hardware, as well as new electronic boost controller. Next I'm buying 80s so I can kick this ****** up into big time cams still need to be put in.. and might be getting neutral balance shafts to put in when I get cams done.

also might be porting the exhaust ports (gasket matching / smoothing) one of the spare heads I have

all in all car is getting closer and closer to nothing left to do

 

Taking you a while to do this Kyle, but you have gotten a few things done since last time I looked into this

 

unfortunately I've been laid off for a good portion of the last 2 years so I have a bunch of **** that i've either wanted to buy or I've bought and I'm waiting to install

 

Are you running e85? 60s should be fine on gas.

I am regretting not doing neutral shafts and the ATI balancer when I built my motor a few months ago. I am likely doing it this summer, but I am going to see what I make on the dyno this time around. If my power is still falling off then I won't do the shafts.

I ported my head as well. Make sure to go nuts on the exhaust side. You can really open them up. Also a lot can be done around the throat/valve seats on both in/ex. Hoping that along with the full 3/2.5" exhaust will keep the hp climbing.

 

yea I'm running e85 currently unfortunately right now the cars become my dd and there aren't a whole lot of stations around, more then most people though. I was going to do neutral shafts but then I had to buy a new block when I built my engine so i decided against it ... the ATI balancer i don't really care about.. like you said i want to dyno it to see what my power is doing if it's tanking then I wont be revving it to 8k much anyway

 

Do you have pics of your port?

 

Sucks being laid off, I just got let go from my job aswell

but seeing what you have done makes me miss my Ion

Good luck with the build

 

damn man that sucks hard core, I haven't talked to you in a while/ haven't seen you online either .. hope things get better for you

 

Thanks man, yeah since getting rid of the Ion, and ranger I fell off the GM seen. I am more active in the focus group again

debating on if i should cut the muffler off ... take out the auger insert I have in there and get the muffler welded back on .. what do you guys think

 

The auger should not be affecting flow too much, right? I would leave it a lone.

 

air flow now.. sound yes it's in the center of a magnaflow straight through

 

Bump!
