F**K
in General SS
yeah it sucks but im trying not be angry and look at the bright side. i did order my crank today .I could understand you wanting to be angry but don't. I would be more disappointed than mad. You knew you would have to do something different with the motor eventually... I say, now is better than later, its gotta be hard with money being tight, but it'll all work out. If anything, you could start a "Help Chase catch 10's fund raiser" on the site and bring in a few bucks from the local SSer's
lol yeah it would be nice, it is cool to be able to say i did this on my own though. the good side of things is actually this isnt going to be as expensive as i first thought.
block =600
crank=800
heads=1300
cam=400
rods=375
pistons=600
and anythigng salvageable from the old motor
i already have paid for everything but the rods/pistons and block. the rods i should have by next week, block is getting picked up on monday. crank should arrive next week. and i should have the motor pulled by this weekend. im hoping to have it running by march. i am going to custom order the pistons from je. im going to aim for 9.5=1 compression ratio and try and run 15 psi and 100-150 shot of juice.(only at the track).
can't wait to see the 1/4 mi numbers

the gaskets are reusuable, however it is cheap insurance to replace them.

the 07's are startig to really growin on me
same here, i like the vortecmaxx in black
-
it says im making 514 at the wheels and 607 at the flywheel. them numbers seem alittle far fetched to me. even though i would love it if it was that high
-
you could do up to 150 with a timing retard box. my pcm is stock (at least for the next few weeks yet) the engine should be ok as long as you dont spray all the time. the transmission is another story. 50 to 75 max on tranny is my opinion. i smoked mine once already with the 150 shot.

mine almost never leaves the garage. sometimes i forget how fun it is to drive

as far as i know there was only three of us from the site last year with our trucks there. it would be nice to get 15 or 20.
Welcome to the site RockHead. Where exactly is Abington located?
-
I am planning to go. I have to ask why not the Chevy Nationals?
id be interested in doing the gm nats, it all depends on what everybody wants to do. i go to both of them.

well was coming home from work last night and say a brand new gto still had the paper plates on it. well to make it short we finally caught the same light after playing around a bit. i am still having trouble believing this myself but the light turned green we both nailed. i got a good jump on him and stayed out in front up to about 45mph then he very slowly pulled away from me i still cant believe how well my truck did aginst a gto. i thought that maybe he wasnt getting on it but i knew he had to have been i the gas pretty hard because i remember seeing his headlight jump in my mirror everytime he changed gears.
A kill is a kill.
He just needs to learn to drive it. I have seen many stock GTOs run in the 12s with the right driver. Then again, he may always suck.
good point, i've seen stock ones run high 12's to low 14's all depends who is behind the wheel

thats a hell of a good job making a ss clone.
-

With winter on it's way, i figured it would be nice to have something for the wife to drive in the snow rather than the camaro. So we broke down and bought a 02 Grand Prix GTP. I really like the car. She got plenty of snap with the supercharger.
Can't wait to take it to the track and see what it'll do.
