SVT BAIT's 2009 Season
Hey everyone. As you can see from my post count, I'm not an avid poster, but I thought that I would share the story of my 2009 year.
I posted my goals at the start of the season, and I figured that I'd follow up with what I've accomplished.
Here is a basic rundown of this past summer. I put the car away for the winter last week and have been doing some reminiscing of the 2009 season:
The car:
Took the car out in April, and put some LOTB badges on, McNord/6LE gauges in and some new rotors/pads.
...and enough gauges to pilot a space shuttle...
Went to the track and did an anemic 13.2 @106. This is thanks to my shiftlight breaking and my needles not being in the right spot after the gauge install.
Tackled a Heads and Camshaft swap myself. First time I’d done anything of that caliber. It went well, although slowly.
Only major hitch was that I stripped the threads in my fuel rails.

(Getting ready to start it for the first time )
Drove down to Toronto to get the car tuned.
Found out I had burnt through my O2 wiring harness, so the car was unable to be tuned in closed loop. The stock MAF was almost maxed out and I seemed to have a valvetrain issue. I only put down 432rwhp.
Took the engine apart to find out my pushrods were 0.1” too long and bought a new MAF and Lid combo. I also was able to fix the O2 wiring problem.
For the rest of the summer I tried to email my tuner with datalogs of the car, but the wideband wasn’t working properly. I started using a new wideband but it is still having issues.
September 11th was a bad day. I got pulled over by the Ministry of the Environment and got tickets for not having my EGR. That was a $500 night. I have since put the EGR back on, for fear of them taking away my plates.
So the EGR went back...
A few fall pictures:
Idle Clip, just for fun:
Plans for next year:
-Finalize the tune
-Lower the car
-Adjustable Shocks
-Midwest Chassis Fab 9"
OR a C5 Z06
Hopefully it will be a better year!

Nice pics of car, work, and women. Sucks about the EGR issue. But it looks like you're on the right track.

I'm not really sure what I want for next year. It's either a 9" or a Z06.
I might be leaning for the Z06. Time will tell.Last edited by SVTBAIT; 11-16-2009 at 07:07 PM.

Nice car. Congrats on doing the heads and cam swap. It looks like you were in the engine bay on that one shot. Have never seen that on a late model f-body.
