Re: N/A Csc build

Go used ZZP headers.

Skip the under drive, cooling is good. You might want to get a larger rad.

Get new OEM LS7 lifters.

Yella Terra YT 6669, 1.61 ratio. Not a fan of the HS rockers. Apparently at high lift you'll have less lift with 1.7 RR than stock rockers. Almost suggest the 1.7's based on that. (YT 6649)

Crow 105's?

Get your double roller crank gear machined, and possible re-hardened. Or use a new stock setup.

Good paint will set you back most of your budget.
 
Re: N/A Csc build

some reason i was under the impression couldnt do turbo with headers? guessing thats not true?

You could custom make some turbo manifolds...other than that...that is just a centrifugal supercharger...still belt driven.
 


installed a ported lim, dorman uim and hv3 insert last week. Before install i was seeing kr of 14-16 at wot now im around 6-8 so it seemed to cut it in half.


my old lim after 13 years and 67k miles

its actually $2350 on paxton website and a rebuild is like $500+ shipping. I figure with the gauges and tuner i got along with it in the deal i figured it really only cost me $1200 granted i need a new cog pulley and some other minor stuff, so i'll say it cost me $1500 and i hope to be 2 secs faster right out the gate, so maybe around 13.6-13.8 quater
 
Finally got exhaust installed

They werent kidding about finding headers that can easily fit into a 5th gen monte

The back headers are rubbing against the firewall causing random vibrations when driving or using the AC

Time to remove that header and "massage" the firewall with a BFH. Maybe introducing a bunch of false KR with it like that. Looks awesome otherwise! Nice job.

big fvcking hammer, also known as a Ford wrench. Also, where did you have it tuned at? Were all these mods already on it when it was tuned?
