Weeeeee!
I'm sending you a PM about your head work. I have a few questions if you don't mind. |
I have pretty much the same build. What are you hoping for HP? I also went 3.4,8:1, twin plug & complete modified/euro CIS fuel system. Going to get it in this weekend, but with the weather here in Canada, I won't get it out for another month at least. I'll be interested to hear more as you progress. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1328195952.jpg

one mjor diff phillip is i am efi and not "limited" to timing, fuel,and boost parameters, but should be in the mid to upper 500s
|
Very nice! Did you use your pancake manifold? Mine is all set up for EFI, but do not have a local guy that could do the tune, so stayed CIS for now:( I think the head-work may be a little extreme:D for the CIS, but will soon know. Philip
|
yes i am using it for now as both pat williams and chris from turbokraft say they work up to 600. next year when i do the bottom end and bigger p/c i will switch. what efi are you going to use?
|
Haven't committed myself to any type yet. I think the determining factor will be where I can get it done, and what system the wrench is familiar with. When planning this build, I had the long-block built in Fla. couldn't find a wrench in this part of Canada who was willing to touch it. Depending on how this build works, I may have to go back to your side of the boarder to upgrade to EFI. Philip

Awesome!! Congrats. Love the silver color.

Love the look of the 934 style brace.
Can you tell us what change it has made? Any drama with getting the brace to fit? Great job. :) |
Love it! Great build

Hey Vas isnt there a little drama with these cars whatever you do?! i had a single shock tower brace before and it helped, but this changed huge!!!!! highly recomend this upgrade:eek:
