Changes/Mods to your car or truck over the winter

[juice_man_86]

I got a set of BMR lower control arms for my 14 GT. My brother also hooked me up with a set of BOSS side pipes!! I can't wait to see how they sound.

Change out the break in oil in the black car and get a good diff put together to hold all the new power. Then hopefully do rear suspension while im there and finally drive the wheels off of it lol.

In the 82:
Finish and dyno the 523.
Get the tranny freshened
Install new cage

In the 88:
Install UPR front suspension out of the 93
new starter
move battery to rear

[John4cam]

Any plans for the Vette?

No. Car will stay as is. I'm very happy with it the way it is. Any more comp. and it would be a little much for pump. I may swap out the plugs in the spring and try an N20 pass with it though. Previous owner ran a 250 hit but it will never see that again...

1. Blower engine (yes I am actually finishing this)
2. Transmission
3. Cage
4. As much weight removed as possible.

Fox Lake DOVE - C

BULLET custom grind

Hemphill Racing Engines

This is the small motor. I just want to turn some laps. Hopefully It'll last a year or so until I get the other motor done.

[somethingclever]

Are these the same heads I had listed on here?

Did fox lake spec the cam? What are they?

Never heard of Hemphill....I assume local place?

Sounds like a stump puller!

It has a 408 stroker lq9 block. Ported 317 heads. Rpm. Level 5 4l65e. 11.0:1 comp. Ratio. I dont know exact numbers on motor id assume 500/500 ish. On a 250 hit it put down 763/730 at the tires on 110.

Very nice! Im running 11.5:1 comp. ratio and running 93 octane but im probably about at the limit of the octane. Was gonna do a flex fuel kit as I already have huge injectors (ID1000's) but the other $1K id need to spend to get eveything else going to work with E85 wont be worth the 15-25HP id pickup.

[Mark Aubele]

Gotta install longtubes and get a tune, Barton shift bracket, Konis and coilovers, 18x10.5 Jongbloeds and 315s all around for track/hillclimb, rollbar and race seat. Get the wife to do a track day in the M235i. Get rid of the hideous mirrors and chrome hubcaps on the F100.

[gmkillr]

Sounds pretty wicked! What cam are you running?

Your car is sick. what does that thing weigh? Mines a portly 3750 with the iron block and being caged..

[John4cam]

Only specs I know about the cam is it has .617 inch lift on the intake and .621 exhaust. Crower.

Car weight is around 3025-3050 lbs......It made 597 rwhp this past year on a shitty tune thru cats. Im hoping to break 610+ rwhp with deleting the cats and have a much better tune on the car now. Thanks man!

Nice! I have a Brian Tooley Cam in mine...if I remember right its .652 I and .630 E and 246/254 duration.....It has really good street manners and amazing from 3500+ rpm

Man that is a great power to weight ratio. Those cars are impressive!
