himata13 Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 well most of you know the FIASCO i went through after i finished installing my whipple. for those who don't know;;;; last year i had a whipple and other parts installed on my truck. cam, injectors, lon tube headers, meth injection and other miscelenous bits. even though i bought the lifters so they could be change with the new cam; my mechanic decided not to. the day of the Dyno; 2 of my lifters colapsed! this time i decided to take evrything apart and do most of the work myself. i saved lots of the parts i sold everything that wzas in good conditions (no the lifters) once all sold i moved ahead and started gathering the new parts for my new project and of course; i kept some of the parts from the old set up so here we go:::: meth injection long tube headers fast LSX-RT intake fast 65lbs injectors 340 stealth Aeromotive fuel pump Fast fuel rails Procharger D1s 12lbs 4l80e beefed up tranny circle D stage III torque converter DJM rear sway bar 14" Baer front rotors and last but no least;;;; a 408 motor with PRC 237cc 6 bolts heads. i have been getting all this little by little; between the house and a baby boy on the way;;;; i am down to my last penny! i should be taking a week off from work soon to finish my car and i am going to have a lot of questions so be prepared. one thing i still do not have clear is the wiring part for the 4l80e. i can't wait to have my truck back and enjoy the ride:nopity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

himata13 Posted April 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 it was the stock lifters. where i got the cam from; they strongly recomended for the lifters to be changed; so i got a brand new set but, the mechanic did not change them and did not tell me anything until the car was at the Dyno! well i got my parts from the powder coating; i should be posting some images over the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krambo Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 I used brand new stockers. At the time I couldn't find solids and didn't want to machine a custom set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
