  1. Soon, im just out of town for work. As soon as I get back
  2. So $2000 or less would be a reasonable price? maybe i could cut costs if i removed and installed it myself.
  3. Asking $800 for all four callipers, came off of an 07 vette with 20 000 kms. Located in calgary, PM me for pics.
  4. A guy in calgary quoted me $2800 to fully build my trans, seems cheap to me! Id like to keep the converter close to stock too. how much boost have you guys been running on stock pistons, I stepped down to a 3.4'' pulley for now and I wanna make sure it would be safe to go any smaller. How fast are the black bear guys for turn around?
  5. Yes, stock transmission, i know i will have to do it sooner or later. Does a guys band-ade it or just go in and do it all up front? I got my kit from davenport, steve quoted me for the tune. How/ where do i get this black bear tune?
  6. Well last weekend was the install, everything went really well! I cant say enough good things about magnacharger, the parts instructions and blower were top notch! In total it was seven hours from start to finish, thats with three of us and an overhead crane. (lots of miller time though lol) No knock or extra engine noise so far. With the 1 7/8'' american racing headers, 3'' cat less mid pipes and B&B exhaust i am very happy with the sound and response. The 90mm throttle body and X link has worked flawlessly thus far so i guess im a happy guy. The TVS seems to be very quiet but it pulls hard. I have stepped down to a 3.4'' pulley, what kind of boost am i looking at? How far can i go downsizing pulleys with stock internals before im in danger of wrecking something? I have had to crank the truck over longer or twice to get it started, am i loosing fuel pressure? The shift points seem to be a little off as well, I a good tune is needed. Im in calgary and the shop that sold me the system says that a minimum of $500 worth of tuning should be done, does this seem pricy to anyone? where else can I look for a custom tune? or is the magnacharger program good enough? Where does a guy start with the transmission?
  7. mine went through the rad support near/between the headlights on the drivers side.
  8. Thanks! well the deal i got only included the headers so i guess I cant complain, and to be honest i enjoy making the mid pipes that way i know the quality is good and they are exactly what i want.
  9. I just got my headers today for $780 canadian! american racing 1 7/8'' LS6 P&P throttle body with oversize motor and DR. X link. Some high rise aluminum valve covers for some shine. and the truck is going in for paint monday. My TVS 1900 is on order and should be here this week so i have almost everything lined up. Other engine mods so far are the corsa sport system, volant power core intake, 1.8 crane cam rockers, billet push rods, oversize studs and LS6 valve springs, E cooling fans and 2 1/2'' cat-less mid pipes. I do have a few questions, With these headers hooked up to my corsa system what size mid pipes are best? Im a welder and i have a pipe bender so im going to make my own with no cats, are there any power gains with dual 3'' system or is 2 1/2'' plenty? I heard the 3'' can be very annoying. Also, what size pulley can I go with before I get into serious work to stay "safe" with the tranny and engine? The truck is going to be a daily driver for 8 mouths out of the year so i wanna keep that in mid.
  10. Well i pulled the culprit off and its all okay. I changed the oil and checked the plug and it was all clean. Yesterday I replaced the spark plugs and put some new MSD wires on plus a new air filter and took the truck for a drive and again at low RPM and everything seems tight with lots of torque but as soon as i get into the power band at 75 to 100% throttle same problem, no power and uneven power with fluctuating RPM. No codes were thrown and the A/F raitio was all over the place, mostly rich.
