Holy crap, what a build!

Might want to think about getting some drag radials to run daily with that setup.

WoW! that's one wicked looking motor

[FlyinGTP]

i wouldn't run any of those intense transaxles parts specifically the gen 3 lsd. That line of lsd's along with a lot of other intense transaxle parts has ruined more transaxles then i can count.


Make sure you don't over torque that supercharger it will crack the plastic ic plate if its more then 8ft/lbs of torque.


Its a bad ass build though, i was under the impression i was the only gtp to have abbott heads. Glad to see i'm not the only one.

some VERY good points! I had heard about the LSD AFTER the fact of getting it! HA GO FIGURE!!! I've heard its much better to use the stocker compared to the gen 3 intense... im also debating whether to invest the 1500 for a good one! If I do, probably wont do so untill December, but its a VERY possible thing... as for the Intercooler.. yea yet AGAIN heard about it after wards.. HOWEVER I did talk to zz about it and they gave me the torque specs to use and to use some RTV. Now whats the problem with the rest of the transaxle parts? Its really too late to do any about it though, I bought the trany with it all in there already! I was under the understanding that the rest of those parts (other thatn the shift kit) were just parts off the 2004+ trannys?

Holy crap, what a build!

Not a bad idea! Im still looking through may choices of rims to get, once I do so, those will be a nice little deal...




OH YEA and to all, thanks for the compliments... would you believe that I got a LOT of S$# from people on ClubGP for this build?!!! I dont mind constructive criticizm, I can handle it, but comming out with "your a dumb ass" and what not, just doesnt cut it!! Keep the suggestions comming. I ve deceided to take the build even slower in order to get things done right! no reason to rush! now Im not sure if I made it clear, but the engine in the pics was put together for the sake of photos!! I wasnt able to insall the Rockers completely becasue I over looked the purchase of lifter retainers, so obviously the pushrods and rockers couldnt be installed.. and the SC was 'placed' ontop! SORRY NEW FRIENDS FOR THE DECEPTION!!!

Welcome
Looks good, cant wait to see some numbers

[GT Jon]

Eh, forget those CGP clowns. I saw your thread over there and couldn't help but think they just HAVE to rip someone a new asshole while trying to bring some info to light.

Welcome to FTV6, we do things differently over here.

BTW, in case you're wondering, FlyinGTP is our resident L67 guru. His advice is always spot-on!

[Merlin]

pull that balancing shaft.

other than that it looks awesome. who's heads are you using.

You cannot pull the balancing shaft with the COME racing stroker kit, it is needed in there. I asked them awhile back about that and it is definitely needed for their stroker kits

FlyingGTP huh? thats good to know!! thanks

yea, we're working on that... I know the whole purpose for that was because of the double chain, but I got from one of the helpfull on Cgp that all I would need to do is remove the sproket (which I've done) and just leave the shaft unoperational... now the reason I dont want to "fuss" with it, is because I have got any easy ideas on how to plug it.. anyone got some?

[Mr Jokster]

who's heads are you using.

oh yea forgot... I got a KILLER deal on the heads from Milzy's Motorsports... did a REALLY good job too...

[GT Jon]

I'd do exactly as you have. Pull the sprocket and leave the shaft in there. Less of a hassle and it won't hurt anything.

[Mr Jokster]

PLEASE elaborate?? how are you to use a double chain with the shaft on there? and how am I to use the 130# springs without a double chain and how am I to use the cam im useing without the 130#? its a domino effect if I were to keep the shaft.. I've been in direct contact with C.O.M.E racing through Jack of Swan Racing, and havent got ANY comment about it? what did they tell you, im curious and will bring that across to Jack?

why cant it be pulled? is there an issue with vibration from the kit?


i pulled mine from my car and i haven't had any problems with it. the cam has something to do with that though. someone told me it freed up 10hp. not sure if its true or not. at any rate, its less mass to carry around
