cool man!

Well have not been having very much luck with the car lately... I had to put the dyno on hold again, after a mach1 rearend with 3.55's became available. Well I got the car finished up this weekend, along with new plugs and wires. I fired the car up and its running terrible. Alot of exhuast popping at idle, and I took it for a quick drive to wash it and every time I go to shift, the car falls on its face and backfires. To top it off heading back home the thing started to overheat fast. I'm gonnna buy a new thermostat tonight and pray to god I dont have a blown headgasket. This shit sucks

Welp replaced the thermostat as well as the water pump (dont wanna take any chances ) car runs nice and cool. Loading it on the trailer and its heading off to the dyno

Its about fuggin time lol

PS: I was able to clean up the engine bay even more. Let me know what you think. Oh and here is the new wheels and rear suspension set-up.

Let me know what you think.

Looks good!
Any numbers?

McCloud · Jun 13, 2012

Engine bay looks great and I'm loving the wheels. How did the dyno go?

98snakehorse · Jun 14, 2012

Tuner could'nt get it in this week so its going this Tuesday. Replacing the header gaskets tomorrow with percy aluminums as well as arp bolts (just to be sure 4 no leaks).

bumblebee · Jun 14, 2012

Sound like a good idea...

I have aluminum header gaskets, used them for 2 years with many off and on with no problems!

Nice, yeah that what I was hoping for, the gaskets and bolts that came with my turbo kit were complete junk. Took no time for them to start leaking. Leaked so much it actually prevented me from building more than 2lbs of boost lol. I'll get a video posted on here of the yellow taxi after I get the passenger side header back on.

Car should make way more power then the motor can handle for sure .. I guessing around 500 rwhp ..
Car looks great for sure .. I almost went with a turbo kit but to much work lol ..

Heading to LA to have it re tuned soon

ON only 15degrees of timing and 7 pounds of boost I put down 420rwhp but I now have 10psi and meth so should make 450rwhp easy but I dont want to split the block so im going to leave it around 450rwhp .. My tuner said 480rwhp easy but you never know tell you get there .. But when the car made 420rwhp its was also on a base email tune so did not run the best car was stupid rich all over the mass air flow curve..
