X-Mas in July!

I am working on getting some sort of video capture ready for Saturday.
I hope to have a video and audio of before/after instillation.
I expect the preliminary break-in to be dodgy at best, as I won't be tuning it until next month; after the new ignition system (spark multiplier, 2step, coils and a bad ass PCM by Massaro's Auto!).
I'll keep you posted!



Mitch, you know I had to go with the Mutha Thumpr instead of just the Thumpr. The name is SO COOL! :P
See ya bros.

LOL, That thing is going to sound bad ass with that 109 lsa. I'll be installing cam/heads whenever the heads come back from the machine shop.

[ne0fiend]

Are you planning on doing a before/after audio/video?
That would be awesome.
I am still trying to secure some kinf od camera or something for tomorrow.

[derbs]

Yeah, I'll do that.

[ne0fiend]

Outstanding!

[1986camarojoe]

Mitchell your car is already stupid loud. Lol. Cant imagine it after the cam.

[ne0fiend]

Hahahaha Just doing his part to keep the old guy's hearing aids ringing!
...no offense, Sarge.

[1986camarojoe]

Ive seen his car scare people when he starts it. No joke.

[ne0fiend]

Well the cam's all buttoned up.
That was a chore that I hope I don't have to do again any time soon.
I've got lots of good video/audio and pics I hope to post tonight. I borrowed the camera from my sister, and I don't think she gave me the cord I need to plug it into the computer.
Anyway! Coming soon!

[derbs]

Well damn you, I'm still waiting on the heads to get done at the machine shop

[ne0fiend]

Alllllrighty.
As promised:
Time for surgery.




Pops helps with the easy stuff; says he's "earned that right." :P














I found the springs in the LS1 to be the easiest springs I have ever personally changed in a late model V8. However, I did slip off of one once and lost the locks in the back abyss. After searching for an hour and dreading the thought of having to break the head down, I found it, chillin' under the PCM on the body.


If you don't have a parts washer...


You should invest.

[ne0fiend]

The wooden dowel trick was a real time saver.






Almost done...


All set!


Here's the video:
I'm not a very good video recorder-type, but here's what I got! lol

[RJWZ28]

Very nice. Can't wait to hear it on a walk-around, and get some revs in there. Post up a dyno number if you get one.

[ne0fiend]

hahaha I surely will.
But that's got to wait for tuning.
We're going to run it down to Ramsey's in Lutz and have him go to work on it with a pair of pliers and a blow-torch.

Right now, the only thing keeping it ideling is the massive vaccume leak I created by removing the PCV and Fuelk tank vent tubes.
It's loading up real bad; I either missed a tooth and retarded it or the missing 02's are F*ing up the mix. ...Or both...
lol anyway, i'll keep the info coming! Hope to have it running 6's by the end of summer!

[derbs]

Badass, NOW paint that bastard of a yellow car.lol

Thank you, sir, thank you. I really need to get it tuned sometime soon. Runs like a pig.
