Thanks everybody!

The belt was left loose on purpose as I didnt want to hear the vortech whine at first. I wanted to be able to hear the engine to make sure there was no unwanted noises or anything like that for that matter....

That was 800 rpm, but i do plan to pump the idle up to probably 900-950 or so.

Sounds pretty freakin bUrly thats for sure!

Yes, ill still be sportin the G-force tranny & rowing the gears via my right arm.....lol

Exhaust is all done! Big thanks goes out to Wick (Rob) for bringin his welder down to my place & weldin the whole Dr. Gas X-pipe & Dynomax Race Bullets up for me! Thanks again bud!

Timing is set, wiring is done, & I fixed a few small oil leaks so now all im waiting for is a new crank pulley spacer from Summit.

**Pure Stock** · 11-28-2009, 06:05 PM

Did you make any changes to the suspension/rear gearing in anticipation of the power increase?

Nice, I like that idea.
If you don't have the trans yet, I'll be posting an ad for my MMR/Pro Motion prepped TKO600 this week.
PM me if interested.

Yes, I'll be swapping over to Strange adjustable struts & shocks. (already have the shocks sittin here.)

New front & rear coil-over springs spec'd by Dave @ Team Z

New Team Z solid lower rear control arms.

After running some online calculators I should remain within my max rpm range even with the newfound power. (4.10 gears & 28" tall tire, with a 7000rpm max trap speed) After actaul testing i'll switch gearing if necessary.

I dropped apprx. 65-75lbs. off of the front end so this should aid greatly in weight transfer.

I already have Baseline suspension re-locating upper control arms kit with track-locater.

Currently run a 28 x 12.5 x 15 M/T. E.T. Street but might switch to a M.T. Drag Radial 325-50-15 via Dave Z. reccomendation.
