  1. I bet the fit of mine is better then a Corsa on my header back. I fabbed every part from my collectors all the way to my tip. Other than my Borla and mandrel bends, and my v-bands. All TIG welded stainless fit like a glove and no leaks.

    Btw I have fixed and diagnosed problems that certified techs "fixed" or couldn't diagnose because the computer told them it could be 1of 5 things. I know more competent non certified mechanics with more all around knowledge of repair and diagnostics than I do of those who are certified.

  2. Return the heads and get a set of 6 bolt LS7 heads if your planning on going that big. You have a block for the foundation, but everything else is in the air. What are you going to do with it? Keeping it NA, or FI? If your planning your build, start with a plan and stick to it. Cam, compression, and heads will be the top priority with blueprinting and on what parts you need. Talk to a good engine builder who is familiar with LS motors (Kurt Urban, Lingenfelter etc) and get an idea. Then talk to another good one and see what the two have in common on what should be done. Don't throw parts at it and hope it runs like you want it to. Big CI motor will require a lot of good parts and money and one part that is skimped on can take out all the good parts.

  3. Do you have a aftermarket head unit or a remote start/alarm on the truck? My remote start/alarm's bypass unit shorted out and caused the same problem you have. I did the draw tests and everything was fine. Finally narrowed it down to the RS/A unit and got the culprit. It honestly took me a few months to figure it out.

  4. Who said this is a big cam? Unless I am reading wrong its only a 223 duration cam, yes it does have some lift to it but nothing terrible. That converter should be a fun time in it and still have good manners all around. Prob won't hit your goal of 500 without some supporting mods, but it will be fun.

  5. Did you black out your wheels in real life? I like that.

     

    Yeah they have been blacked out for over a year I think. I still have the 22" chrome reps but they are sold and waiting for the guy to pick them up.

     

     

    This should be bad ass, might have to make some more too.

  6. Well I am in the process of building my garage. Since I plan ahead way to far, I decided to have a custom banner made for my welcoming to MY GARAGE. The garage is in the forming of the foundation stage, but i'm excited to have my own place to play now. I should have taken a better picture of the truck to begin with but it is what it is.

     

    BTW it is 3'x5' vinyl.

  7. I don't really understand what was done. If it had bad cats, then they would have to be removed or replaced with new cats. If the cats were gutted or removed and the guy tuned out the rear (downstream) sensors then you should be good to go if the scan shows all the system readiness tests are OK. The downstream sensors are basically a secondary meter that gauges the emissions that have passed through the converter.

  8. Omg! Awesome and holy shit are all I can think of. I had plans on doing mine similar to some of the stuff you did. Might be having a conversation with some questions. Love it man!

  9. Little update on the how-to.

    I went out and did the process with pics. Then when I went to do the pressures with my new spring pressure tester, I got some scary low numbers. They were about 10# off my previously measures seat pressure, and 40# off my open pressure. I came to the conclusion that my gauge needs calibrated, so I have to order a calibration spring for it. I have basically everything else done but will wait to do it all till I get the gauge calibrated.

  10. Nitrous for pussies just saying lol

    Damn straight! Bottles are for babies! Real men get BLOWN!

    If you run the squeeze the number 1 rule. Hide it and DONT TELL ANYBODY! Not even your own mother! Hehehehe

     

    OK since your a businessman I can see you preaching a type of product that costs 5x's more than nitrous. And still be limited.

    But if the number one rule is to hide it, then I call that motto shady! I thought it was to open the bottle.

  11. Don't go getting all shoot to kill on us. Some of the guys here are bragging about beating this and that and getting cocky about it. The SRT-8 is a bad mofo. Stock it will be close. If its not stock the other guy will be doing the same thing you are. Good luck with it.

  12. Well for some I understand and I mean the ones that let you know ahead of time they spray blah blah size shot others and I mean a lot, majority of people around here dont say shit and spray a 150. This particular guy didn't say shit about spraying, I just know how they are and also saw them in the distance hooking it up

     

     

    :confused:

     

    So your guessing he had a 150 tune up in it? And you saw the swapped 6.2 in it also? The 6.2 alone would be close to a even race with your mods but the "150 shot" should have moved right past you. :dunno:
