Well I found an 03 z4 with only 7k miles. Going it to look at it tomorrow. Just a daily still staying on site. Any advice on these cars before purchase?? oops, I posted in the wrong section.

For that much cash I would get a e-pump like the moroso kit http://www.pcmofnc.com/index.php/performance-parts/product/719-truck-meziere-electric-water-pump-kit or this Been looking into a watercooled turbo build and considering one of these set-ups http://www.speedengineeringlsx.com/moroso-water-pump-adapter-kit-ls-series-engines-63615

Whats the track's D/A for the day??

Too much $$$$$$$$$$$$$ 500 for OBX Same hump as OBX

Bad ass set up. Wouldn't a tire closer to 27" put you closer to maxing out 3rd in the 1/4 I want to regear for some 4.56 for some time now. I just missed a used front diff on craigslist for 100$

Leave that stuff together. Just pull the two heater hoses off and two rad hoses. Leave the old stuff unless it's gone. Use a large pair of channel locks. I would get a therm maybe a 160 if your tuning it. I would get a name brand water pump a/c delco gates ect. My bolts were toast. Victim of a dealer trip many years ago and I can only imagine the impact wrench force used. Tool is not needed but http://www.sears.com/craftsman-cable-operated-hose-clamp-pliers/p-00947390000P if you can't manage channel lock pliers and twisting a hose.

Your in NH call Golen. He is a pretty nice guy and local to you. I drive at least an hour to see him when I need something.

I have been here too long. Been hanging around since I got it in 03ish. My yank converter may be getting a tad old 9 years 200,000 miles or so

I have had a LSXRT for more miles than most. Just put it back on again after cam swap. My issues were TB relater and a regular 90mm vette TB fixed almost everything. They suck to install the first time yes. They are very sensitive to tuning and require some software a mail order canned tune is not gonna cut it.

I didn't just torque down the rocker arms. I adjusted to TDC then set the other valves. I used harland sharp upgraded stockers. comp 7.4 push rods worked out fine. made this custom tool haha Placed inside slp underdrive and wacked the pulley on. currently waiting a couple things shoud be done in morning.

Well a lot of progress has been made. Tearing it down took a break at that point 243 heads and cam in place

2600 not worth the $$$ I barely noticed a change. 3k all the way.

I would get a 4" el cheapo intake on ebay or one of these http://www.summitracing.com/parts/spe-9900/overview/make/chevrolet/model/silverado-1500 I used the spectre it grew with my mods. I changed the elbow and the 90mm TB works. I pulled the reducer and the 4" ls7 maf fits. I would just replace the muffler only. I went magnaflow straight thru design is ok. My two buddies with sss and tbss both have flowmaster and they sound amazing.

If I were to start over id just get a maggie and be done with it all. That's the plan for my next ride.

I went with 243's. They are so cheap if you shop around. I wouldn't bother with the old 317's. You can even sell the old ones for 200 on craigs. I got 243 off a junkyard sending them out for port and polish locally. The bump in compression is nice and they flow a touch better stock.

Got it from mike norris motorsports http://vmaxmotorsports.com/?page_id=205 Stock causes turbulence. Nick Williams I got a lemon. I like factory issue 90mm TB with the adapter.

You need the ring to smooth the airflow from 90 to 105 or it won't be tuneable and flutter.

I do not agree when you buy a cam from comp. They provide a list of oil to break in with. I will post later tonight. I am using rotella for my cam swap.

Finally going back into truck. Parts ordered and waiting for ups boxes. cam 216/220 .575 on 114 lsa tooley springs 243 heads port polished

Well I am going to do heads and a cam for my 03 ss I have so far cat back and shorty headers, yank 2600, FAST LSXRT, LS 7 M.A.F and 90 mm TB Purchased 243 heads. going to have them ported lightly and 5 angle valve job locally Thinking I found my cam XR275HR...222/224 .566/.568 112LSA Tooley spring kit 7.4 pushrods stock rockers??? not sure if an upgrade needed here. Maybe marine injectors if needed.

Need to find part number for lower grill from an intimidator SS not regular ss anyone have any part ##'s

i will post pics later. I have two for the one price. 1 used still on truck. 1 brand new insurance replacement. The side rails are not new but in good shape.

I have a pace edwards roll top 100% every part brand new except side rails which are used still perfect shape. for sale 400$ pick up in Mass or close by RI/NH border ok. Cost for a new roll top is over a grand. Can post pics if interest. Was gonna the forum before craigs list. pm me on here or post email for details and pics. http://www.pace-edwards.com/

Wow you opened up an old post. I wouldn't buy them again. They didn't stand up to corrosion very well. I have winter rims/tires. So my rims should have lasted. Slowly corroding from the back up to the front. Looks gross and won't come off.

I found a junk yard deal. Want to make sure it's interchangable. 99 silverado 6.0 block. I know it has iron heads but for a 408 build. They are significantly cheaper than a lq9. Aside from the heads and the crank are going to be thrown out for a nice 408 assembly and aftermarket heads. Any reason I can't use this block?
