But you also don't get to sit on your back, aka, pinned to the seat back from boost. Long live turbo Poncho's

UPDATE!!


Things are starting to become a reality. Car is going to chassis shop Friday for a new chromoly 25.5 cage, butler performance said they should have my stuff wrapped up next week. So, just as I thought this project had come to a stand still...now it's moving right along. The plan is to build the engine while don dial is doing the cage, then take him the engine and turbo stuff so he can build the headers, mount the turbos and intercooler and run all the piping. I sold my Chevelle street car to be able to afford to have the chassis shop do it instead of trying to build it myself. I loved that car, but it ain't my Pontiac! Pics coming soon!!!!

I'm sure you know this already, but I feel I have to mention it. If you're building headers on an already assembled short block PLEASE keep it all sealed up and make sure you clean all of the slag out of the headers before firing it. It WILL suck whatever crap you have in the headers right into the cylinder and scratch the walls. I know of 3 different engines that had this happen in the last year.

Example #1 right here http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...ighlight=rusty

I can't wait to see how it turns out

Glad to see it is on the move again. Smart move letting a professional get it done when you can.
So now it is back to "hurry up and wait". lol

Block o-ringed and head deck welded and o-ringed. Valve job done. Heads flowed today. 350 cfm. Not too bad with std pushrod location. Took about 600 grams out of your crank today. A little on the heavy side! lol. Cut about a 1/4" off the front and rear counter weights in a big lathe to get it close enough to drill. Don't worry, I didn't kill it and it passed my inspection! lol.

Sweet!!! Great news!! I never expected the heads to flow that much with standard pushrod location! Not bad for some "old school" edelbrocks lol.

I'm sure rod, travis and David are tired of putting up with my impatient ass but I'm very glad to have them all on board. Gonna be alot easier to step on the loud pedal knowing who is in my corner.

I finally sat down and read thru this whole thread. This build should produce some killer numbers when it's done.

Car is all apart, and heading to the chassis shop. Talked to Travis quillen today, and my mind is set on injection. Another priceless 10 minute phone call saved me thousands.

If you have the money, FI is the way to go and Travis is the man to set it up.
