JoRoW's '01 GT - update 6/26/13 new track times

Well to start off I bought this car about 2 years ago in the summer of 09 from my parents with 90k on it. I kinda got stuck with it because we found someone who wanted to buy my old S-10 with 198k for 2 grand :O But I guess i really cant complain. I dont have many pictures right now but i will take some soon.

Visual mods: painted calipers, black front and rear facias, debadged (except GT badge on the grill), reflective concepts rear inlay (silver outline with maroon inside),reflective black arrowhead overlay, tinted tails, black headlight covers, 8000K HID's, black clear corners.

Engine mods: intake.... I used to have an HV3 and zzp downpipe but I'm selling them for the top swap. I also have an Aeroforce and oil pressure gauge in my HUD pod.

Top swap: This has cost me about double what i was expecting to pay in the beginning, but its too late now. Most of the parts have 60-80k on them. I'm in the process of porting my supercharger and heads. I'm gonna have a guy come here soon to quote me on a valve seat regrind. Also gonna order some SD headers off ebay, and I'm hoping the install will go easily since I will have the heads off. Im gonna limp around on the WBS tune that comes with the gasket set until I can get a local guy tune it soon after. I also have some sweet paint planned for the engine parts, Ill post pics once they are all done. Enjoy :)

Update:

I ordered the gasket kit from WBS monday the 27th. Said they were processing it thursday, I dont think its shipped yet >:/ hopefully here by THIS friday. Heres some pics of the heads and Supercharger. Forgive the SC case...my stepdad didnt really listen to what I told him. Maybe ill pick up a different one sometime. Its all wrinkle paint.

Re: JoRoW's '01 GT

Yea pretty much. Ive had a lot of help with information from a lot of people though.
 
Re: JoRoW's '01 GT

I like the s/c wrinkle coated...the throttle body, however, looks like its been in a fire.
 
Re: JoRoW's '01 GT

Thanks for the comments guys.

And yea the wrinkles are a lot bigger on the TB, and I didnt coat it very evenly.... I should put pics of the valve covers up too tomorrow.
 


Re: JoRoW's '01 GT

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...it's only been like 40 years since you've been talking about top swappin...lol
 
Re: JoRoW's '01 GT

Lol shup I was trying to do this without a job...I just got this one this summer. UIM is off...That "Wedge a socket against the frame and crank it" thing worked like a charm to get the crank bolt loose.
 


Re: JoRoW's '01 GT

Everything is bolted on and wired up...I'm gonna start it after work. WBS forgot my injector connectors though so im using L36 injectors and stock PCM just to start it. Not putting the SC belt on.
