  2. Pacesetter Lt Header Install

    in How To

    Posted

    Hey man thanks for posting this thread, you made my install job a little easier. But I have to but on some spun cats because I live in North Carolina and we have to have them and I am going with magnaflow bullet mufflers.

     

     

    don do the bullets. they sound like shit. and as far as cats, buy to 3" ones online and hollow them out. i hated my pacesetters but they were cheap and did an ok job.

  4. Buyer Beware

    in Off-Topic/General

    Posted

    I make ppl come to my house to buy and sell unless its a big item. My glock is always on my hip when they come over and if the person looks shady I make sure it is visible since I live out of city limits. Even when the guy who bought my truck came I had it since he came from San Antonio and had it ready while he year drive just to b safe.

     

    A friend of mine wasn't carrying one night and had a guy come meet him at his house in a nice neighborhood and the guy tool him to look in his truck at what was suppose to b a 42" tv. The guy drew a pistol on him and demanded the money. Luckily he was not harmed and our good friend is a Sheriff and happened to b in the neighborhood and stopped the guy and ended up tazering him when he tried to run.

  6. Selling Truck For Gto?

    They're fun cars. Heavy but fun. Tranny is good but the suspension SUCKS BALLS. I was going to do the same thing but bought my ws6 because it doesnt have the problems the goats have. They're nice cars don't get me wring but a few ppl on here have seen catastrophic failure with the factory suspension on a completely stock car. If u can get a deal on one go for it but be prepared to spend 6-800 on suspension right away.

     

    Oh and this is also a traction whore and they are known to have MAJOR wheel hop.

    ok so i have heard nothing but great things about Wheatley tunes. but i have a few questions. does he only tune N/A stuff or does he do boost stuff also. also does he do Email tunes or just mail order PCM?

     

     

     

    if u have autocal or hp i believe the tunes will load. and ask zach about his tunes. charlie has his truck running low 12's on his procharger setup. i had a live tune from charlie on the truck and loved it.

    whatever brad. i never called ANY NAMES!!! and if hes gonna do heads why the FVCK would he want cheap ass springs? and where are u paying 300 for a fuel pump? stock pumps are garbage.

     

     

    do what you want with your money cfresh. ive learned from my mistakes on taking short cuts and using cheap parts or not the upgrades that were needed when adding power. my truck made great power with a small cam and still ran a mid 13 on a factory stall.

    he said he wants to do heads as well. y not run the double springs? look at the V3, its a high lift cam. so therefore y not take the precautions to adding a better fuel pump?

     

     

    why does everyone want to cheap out when spending the extra 300 bucks saves you from a headache? i mean come on guys, all of you have built trucks and want so much horsepower so whats wrong with taking it to the next level.

     

     

     

    Brian, DAN was the one who initially told me NOT to run the 918s and to spend the extra green on better springs.

     

     

     

     

    so cfresh, if ur gonna do heads and cam, spend the extra money and take care of business properly. dont take any shortcuts.

    DO NOT RUN 918's. spend the extra money on PAC or PRC 320s. thats what i ran and they were amazing/ the 918s break very easily and since they are softer than the double springs they have been known to float/.

     

     

    8.1s are 42 or 44 lbs so thats plenty of fuel but ur gonna need a walbro 255 or aeromotive 340. also beef the crap out of ur tranny, actually get it BUILT.

     

    end of story

  14. How Much Horsepower Am I Making?

    in General SS

    Posted

    Actually Bob, they do force cold air in backwards. Have you ever seen a 60's El Camino SS and its "Cowl Induction" hood, what about the Chevelle's. There is a low pressure pocket at the base of the windshield that provides a nice dense charge of air, and if used properly will add more power than a ram air style hood.

     

    Example....

    that has a completely different hood though ray, it has that little catch guard at the back of the cowl that lets air in. u have the same hood as the guy im guessing but it only COOLS the motor, not forcing any air into the intake as i know ur aware of.

  24. Just An Update On My Car

    in Off-Topic/General

    well as most of you know i sold the truck and bought a 2002 arctic white WS6 6 spd. i was told it was stock and it sounds looks and felt like stock when i bought it. with the speedo off i thought it might be the tires but found out they are factory size. anyways i had the car tuned by an f-body guy in my area and it has 4:10's 85mm MAF, short throw, some aftermarket clutch (dont know) and 243 heads and ls6 intake. oh and some goofy ass cutout way in the back.

     

    i took it to the track 2 weeks ago just trying to get a feel for it and the guy in the stage line was like, "you need a helmet" luckily i had mine with me and slapped it on. so after a great burnout i got to the line, stalled it to maybe 2200-2400. thinking the car is basically stock and not a lot of power i dumped the clutch at the tree and spun through 1st and 2nd then hit 3rd down shifted to 2nd and finally got some traction. i know the car is faster but i ended up running a 14.1 at 99mph with a 2.75 60 ft :rollin: thats y my time sucked huevos.

     

    anyways the tires are 275/40/18's in the back and they are nitto nt555s street radials..... (came with the car on z06 rims).

     

    so future mods, i have my LPP stainless longtubes in the garage, waiting on a few free days to build a custom x and run it out the quad tips, 315/40/18 nitto nt 555's, full bmr suspension and THATS IT on this motor. car has only 65xxx miles but i dont want to mess with this 5.7 until i get another car for dd.

     

    oh and i titned my windows today after doing 6 cars these past 2 weekends.

     

     

    ok bye now. lol
