Slowly making progress - Updated 12/18/05

The self imposed 300 hp limit was because I am using a stock short block with 50k on it. I plan to change the cam, clean up the ports, valve job and replace the valve springs. Most of this is just for bling at the cruise-ins and shows as well as bragging rights. I rarely exceed the speed imit, just like to get there quick. I must be getting old.

Here's a shot of the EVO8 intercooler... roughly 19 x 11 x 2.75 with 2.5 IN & OUT



El-D... You, as well as anyone else on the board, are welcome to come by anytime but may wanna call first to be sure that I will be here.

hopefully the trans will not take a dump on you, but the extreme light weight will reduce the stress on the tranny.

Or do you plan on doing something too the trans itself also?

[CNCguy]

I am considering swapping to a 4T60 tranny with a fresh rebuild and a 2500 stall convertor. I think it will be fine due to the weight and I am pretty easy on it really.

I would really appreciate it.

Re: Can I use those pics to make my own headers?

I would really appreciate it.

I assume you are asking me. Sure... you are more than welcome to use the pics, but I would recommend that you print the pics on sheet metal since paper pics would not be able to withstand the exhaust heat. :P JFWY... Have a ball man and good luck with your project.
