So, did you get last years winter projects done and whats everyones winter plans/projects for this years Winter?

 

Guess I can post the camaro plans...

New front 275/40/17 tires - Done
New front control arms - Picking up this weekend
80lb injectors
Dual 340 intank pumps
317 or 243 heads with upgraded valve springs
Speed incorporated TU2 cam
Ported Ls6 oil pump
Full custom exhaust
Speed density tune by the ecotec tuning guru (P&P tuning)

Maybe a few other goodies.

 

Hopefully I will be installing DW300, piecing together return system using lsj fuel rail, pump rewire kit, 80s, 2.7" pulley for TVS, head studs, level zero balance shaft delete, P&P head, valve springs, and ZZP axles.

Don't know if I'll he the money for built P&P head, minimum of springs and studs

 

Hey HHR panel man, when you start the build I prolly tell
My boss to suck it and take Friday, Saturday, or Sunday off from work and drive up to give you those parts and pick up your stock head if you would be willing to sell it.
Drive is bout 4 hours, I can prolly make it in 3-3.5 hours

 

Any of you guys have an idea on what the stock 2.4 can handle as far as boost wise? I can't find a decent answer. I've read anywhere from 8-12. What are you guys running?

 

Im rolling 14-15psi on TVS; Never even pulled valve cover yet

from what I have heard, mostly the RPMs that'll get you in trouble and not really the boost

My **** sees 7K at least once a day though

 

I'm running 8psi on the ZZP stage 2 turbo kit with everything else stock. I don't know how far I can push it. I rarely ever get it close to 7k though haha. But I don't have my KY Stage 3 clutch in yet.. I might see more 7k's here soon haha. My stock clutch slips 3rd-5th in boost. :/

 

I'd love to have you onboard with my install, since you have already done it before. Was planning on the first week of January, but may Delay it until mid or end of January.
Winter SUCKS! And i'd be Tempted to drive my Panel once installed, I Park my HHR Panel for the Winter because the salt reeks havok on all the polished stainless steel pieces I have.

Still got those parts, thought maybe you sold em locally by now. I'll still take em both.

To be honest, I don't have any plans on selling off my stock OEM Head right now.
But if that changes, i'd give you First dibs on it.

I have kept all on my stock parts from all my mods, so I could swap my Panel back to OEM at any time. Don't plan on ever selling my car, but you never know and putting all back to stock makes for better/easier trade ins at new car dealers.

Have a look at my build thread, I have parts listed and plenty of pics. Link in my Sig line.

I will be doing the install at a buddy of mines Shop. I just redid all his vinyl sign work for him, so the use of his shop for my install was our Trade off. He has 3 Lifts at his shop.







So I won't be doing my install out in my driveway in the cold and snow if there is any.

 

I have a $1500 budget for 2013, nothing big planned.

BRFS
maybe ID 720s ($500!!! daymn)

Thinking I might do option 2 on zzps brfs, keep fuel rail pressure lower and static until boost then 1:1, between that and the Injector Dynamics 720s I should give myself a gold plated fueling setup. If I dont drop the 5 bills for the injectors I may try the same using my deka 60ies and see how it goes with my IDCs.

I'd like powells Spherical CABS, probably need new ball joint, tonnes of little things that will eat the budget pretty quick.

 

Aiight; Yes I have the parts, figured Id just drive up there. I'm planning on getting a head built up and just swap everything over to minimize the downtime

 

Plan on finally doing my clutch. It's so bad at this point I can't accelerated more than 1/3 throttle or I get ridiculous slip. I'll probably throw on the ZZP longtubes I bought at that point also. And I was thinking about doing E85 for ***** and gigs, see if it does anything

 

I will be doing zzp block ,rods, je pistons ported head there cams id 1000's with brfp set up stealth 340 pump zzp retune on e85 not sure if I'm going get get a s259 yet or not we will see what we can get out of the s256 first come next spring

 

I can't believe you haven't changed it out yet. Sub'd for can't drive up hill because clutch slips. E85 make racecar. You will like the power...and hate the annoyance of looking for e85 stations and seasonal blends.

I am waiting for a performance autowerks intercooler and hf downpipe. After spring gets here going to install those, get tuned and finally get some power out of this lame ass LNF. Very likely getting tuned by term, unless I have the patience to learn another pcm.

While its parked I am going to polish some bits under the hood so it looks a little nicer.

Also finally sending Mark some straps for that meth kit

 

Winter? WTH is that? lol

 

That time of year you convert your Hot Rod for FUN rides.

 

Hey I had a busy semester! haha but yeah it's getting ridiculous. I think I'll start to daily the bike once spring rolls around anyways but we shall see.

Go catless! the LNF sounds amazing catless

 

Ported head and sheet metal intake manifold. I want cams but 2007 has the stupid cam sensor

 

my brother has a 88 iroc z built 350 40 over AM muffl thing is nasty, paid 500 bones for it, dude couldnt get it runnin and all it was is the distributor cap n rod thing and a head gasket to fix knocking. we want to dyno that sheit
