I added a small emergency fuse kit today. Got the container from a co worker. Look closely.... its a Zip tie hiding in plain sight . This will go in the Ash Tray easily. Also added some wire connector. With slight mods you can fit a whole altoid tin can in the ash tray.
Car is done. Last part to install is a BMR anti drag bar on the rearend of the car. Its go make sure both front tires leave even at the height not to mention it helps me as a driver keeping the car to stay straight.
Truck wise...im go invest in the pipesmax software and play with different...
James- the tolex idea sounds great. I had to look at up to see what exactly that was. I will be running something on the thinner side on the front side of the fluid/parts box. Maybe some type of mesh or something. Not sure yet as im still thinking on it. Every cm matters cause these trucks are...
I got the brackets to hold the 6×9 speakers from wheels411. 55 dollars or so for the brackets. A direct fit in.
Speakers are Kickers... the highest dollar ones they make. Amp is cerwin Vega. Its a 100 dollar amp. My headunit is a retro sound. No subwoofer for me. Just some better than average...
i would look into a Torquer V2 cam. The cam checks out on all points. It sounds good, puts power down on the dyno, hard to beat at the track and it has torque everywhere. We just did a ls1 car that put down on 450 rwhp with this camshaft with hand ported 243 heads.
What head, cam and intake you plan on doing on the ls1 ?
My 2000 Z28 6 speed car puts down right at 500 rwhp on a very stingy 48 inch drum dyno. Thats on a factory 799 head caating on top of a LS2 bottom end with a cam motion camshaft. My goals is 10s all motor.
Mickey Thompsons on and the Z28 will is just about test and tune ready. Im go be chasing a 10 second timeslip on motor with a T56. Cant wait to load it up on my trailer behind my truck and post some pictures.
On the other hand im still collecting info amd paying attention to big block builds...
Hard choice on heads. I do know Brodix have great customer service and i never seen a cracked Brodix head.
I have seen a cracked LS TFS head but not for a big block. Good thread here
I want to keep my truck running while another engine is built then when the built engine ia done i would like to do a 2 to 3 day engine swap. So the engine in the truck will be plan B put in storage and left untouched.
Talked to a guy today about a combo on a 489ci that made 435hp/555TQ with...
Bucket~The 280 TFS heads are bad to the bone. Eric W... a famous head porter and youtube tested a line of oval heads and the AFR 265 and TFS 280 head makes the best torque in the imdusty hands down. Now you got me thinking about that youtube video/channal.
On the pistons... how much compression...
