Day 2/3Took the surge tank, intake manifold and started on the driver side axle. The way everything is set up it made everything come out really easily which is nice, since serviceability was something I wanted to focus on when I was adding parts to the car. I don't think I ever realized...

HTP in Arnold makes great parts, but it can be a bit difficult to get a hold of him. Chances are also better he'll work for you if you can put a deposit down on at least part of the work--I know he's particular about who/what he works on these days.

I saw an increase of 15 degrees above ambient after a 0-130 mph run at 35 psi on a 63mm BorgWarner. I'm using a 5" Garrett core. For single gear pulls IATs do not move after 2nd gear pulls, and they go up about 5-7 degrees on a 3rd gear pull.

Day 1Only got like 2-3 hours of work in since I had to fix my dad's car too. Got the radiator, downpipe, and turbo setup off so far. Glancing at the valves it looks like cylinder 4 has some beat up valves, which is no surprise since there's a giant hole in front of where the 4th rod would...

PI 9.5 billet with some ridiculous stall. If I remember right it's stalled the same as Kiggly's was at one point--meaning it's designed for around 9000 rpm.If I get that long rod 2.4 I'll be sending the converter off to get it tightened up up top. Like I said earlier this converter would...

Rod failure. Looking at some built motors on various classifieds right now. G4CS long rod 2.4L is in the lead right now.

Season over! 3+ years of 500-700 whp and next to no maintenance did her in. We sure had a good run, but it's on to the next motor!For the record, I was ahead :p

That trap is higher than what 99% of people do in the quarter.

ET Tuning in Union, MO

I'm in the same boat with a 2.3L and a decent sized turbo--I'm not even considering the BC280s not because they're "BC junk", but because they don't have the same duration/lift as Kelford/GSC cams.Their new BC284/280 looks much more interesting though. 230/226*, 11.4/10.9mm lift. Similar to...

It's roughly 50/50; my converter had Redline type F in it, and I filled the rest of the case up with the Hygard.Car is not a daily driver; it has ~1100 miles on this combination right now with a lot of tuning/racing.I can't tell you how much it actually changes your stall if you decide...

Smaller converter

I have an extremely loose stall, so I wanted it to tighten my trans up. The coldest it has been since the car became an auto is around 40-50 degrees, and the car drove fine.

I run a mix of regular John Deere Hygard and Redline type F

There are some events going on this weekend in KC.. 1/4 on Friday with some F-body meeting and a dyno day on Saturday with a regional Evo board. If I can find someone to help trailer my car down I'm considering making the trip. The car will absolutely make the trip by itself, even with my...
