Waking up the sleeping giant

**Hurley711** · 04-04-2009, 04:17 PM

It has begun fellas, stage 1 is complete. My TA has been in hibernation since August of 07. Waiting patiently for her time to arise, in honor of Easter I have begun my own resurrection. This afternoon I reinsured the TA so stage 1 is complete. Next up is getting the tag and inspection up to date. After that she goes to the shop to have TSP 59cc heads, pulley, and LS6 manifold installed along with a tune

She comes home after all of that for a weekends worth of Zaino care

Finally, April 30-May 3 the T-Tops come off and she cruises me up to the pocono mountains on my annual father-son fishing trip, 26th year and counting. Huge month for me fellas!

Just like hurley711 my TA shall rise from the dead.............let's see how many get that

Congrats, it wants to run. PRC heads? What cam?

Also, zombies sure have learned to spell decently. Your ass was dead a long time ago.

Yet sounds very cool... and enjoy the trip and almost new car.

Yeah wat?

**Hurley711** · 04-07-2009, 06:01 PM

I stopped driving the car as a DD 1 1/2 years ago to help preserve her. I intend on keeping the car forever, and it is currently at 82k miles. I just wanted to give her a break, and now it's time to take on duties as a garage queen/weekend cruiser!

Oh. Gotcha.

That was my motivation, why should Christ get all of the hoopla from rising from the dead when I can do it along with my TA?

Update, as of yesterday she is legally inspected. Next up is heads/pulley/manifold swap next weekend, then tune after that.
As for pics I will post after she gets cleaned up

**Hurley711** · 04-24-2009, 11:53 AM

OK guys she is all tuned, before numbers were 368 HP and 358 TQ. After PRX 5.3 59cc milled heads, LS6 manifold and UD pulley she netted 414 HP and 397 TQ
