BLUEGTP91's BUILD...Page 25 has some vids :D



Re: BLUEGTP91's BUILD!!

seriously, what cam are you using? if youre putting that XP back in your motor ill come down there and personally slap you. go bigger or dont do it at all. :p
 
Re: BLUEGTP91's BUILD!!

Slap me Nancy :p

The XP is still in the car...don't worry. The other goodness is indaboxa ;)
 
Re: BLUEGTP91's BUILD!!

are you still running stock heads? if youre running ported heads with an XP then youre losing out on a ton of gains. im sure you know well enough to at least put rockers with that cam to get some more lift out of it...hopefully..
 
Re: BLUEGTP91's BUILD!!

I will...I don't have money for rockers now but they are coming in the future...this is just the damn good basis I have wanted to build upon for a long time ya know?

And the heads are getting done too...a hogged out port and sexy polish, #105's, Viton Seals, etc...I wish 5 angle :D But that isn't happening, at least not now...so nothing too crazy...hopefully just a nice L36 build with a 3.4", headers, cam, and tune with no knock. I'll be happy.

Re: BLUEGTP91's BUILD!!

Now where is that smiley of the guy just shaking his head....dammit


Nick - you know the drill - but I'm gonna say it again anyway. Pay attention to the details - clean out bolt holes thoroughly, clean, clean, clean, and then clean it again. Pay attention to torque specs and assembly lube is cheap - so use the fawk out of it. You know that I know first hand about doing a "fast" build and breaking one in on the way to Branson...

This is getting REALLY down to the wire Shannon...trust me. All I know is if she gets down to Branson it'll be on a whim. And with people betting against me from making it wants me to get down there so much better. And you know who you are ;) My block and heads are getting done right now at RAD's and I am hoping to buy most of if not all of my gaskets sometime after I get paid this week. My goal this time is just not to take out half of my garage in the engine pull...which has already been done and I am waiting on the engine stand and block for get to my house...I've got a little over a month...hopefully I can pull this one out of my ass and get it done :th_thumbsup-wink:

And thanks man...I know full well about your Branson build in '07. I don't plan on beating on this one until I have the money for an intercooler...or more money for that matter. I can't afford another one until I get promoted...which was supposed to happen mid-July but thanks to the bank's 90-day policy...I have to wait until the END of Sept...awesome :(

Who cares who is betting against you - you are the one paying for this. If it doesn't get done - it doesn't get done - and you'll drive the damn Cobalt down. I can't tell you how bad it gripes me to have to drive my car down all busted up in the front - but I have no choice at the moment...and I'm still going to go. I'm just going to hang out with some friends and chill for a couple of days. But I do understand the burn to get it built and drive it down - trust me. All I'm saying is like Mark told me - it isn't worth breaking it if you rush through it just to drive it down there.

I'd offer to help - but I can't even finish sh!t I've been working on for over a year. :( If you have any questions - you got my number.

Re: BLUEGTP91's BUILD!!

LOL @ the Cobalt...it'll be the Cavy if anything that thing can roll nearly 500 miles to a tank if we sit around 68-72 mph :D And if you did come to assist dude, there'd be food and drinks and a A/C'ed garage to work in...so no worries there LOL

If you get bored lemme know...you can drop by if you want haha :p

And for sure on the rushed part...I'll know August 25th if I'll be able to swing it to get done or not...
