Muskys SS 06-07-2004, 02:45 AM Started the car up today and insured it. Finished off all the engine work and everything is picture perfect. I drove around a bit tonight with open Y-pipe, cause I'm still welding up the 4 inch Mufflex. All the new mods are:
Ported Polished Heads w/ 3angle valvegrind
Ported intake Manifold
Ported 52mm Throttle body
K&N FIPK
30# SVO Injectors
Vortech polished air elbow
Polished Aluminum Valve covers
Crane 1.6 roller rockers
LT4 hotcam
LT4 hotcam valvesprings
hardened pushrods
Lifters
Spec Stage III Clutch
4inch Mufflex exhaust
Accel 300+ Race Ignition
I've been taking it easy to break in the new clutch and the valve guide liners so I'm not sure how she goes. I hammered it once in 1st and 2nd gear and couldn't get traction, so that's a good sign;) All that's left know is to install the exhaust and give her a bath:)
93formula 06-07-2004, 02:48 AM sounds good man, if its stage 2 heads you got you should hit 355-365rwhp

Tw!tchb!tch 06-07-2004, 12:58 PM Sounds like an awsome combo :bow:
How do you like the spec ??
Camaro ChriSS 06-07-2004, 01:21 PM Ouch. Can't wait to hear it. Who did your heads?

I did all the install myself and ported the heads myself. High Peformance Engines surfaced the heads and installed new liners and valve seals for me.

It seems to grab nice, but I do get some chatter if I let it out slow in low rpm's.

from what i have been reading that is normal for the specs and the Mcloed. mine does the same thing.
setup sounds nice. like to see the numbers at the track :)

it only does it for a while ~1500 km or so. a Couple of brake stands and it goes away:D the chatter in reverse is worse, havent got rid of that yet:(
sideways_Into_3rd 06-08-2004, 04:10 AM my street twin lost all chatter in all gears after 2 days of normal driving :D
if i have money when im doing a clutch, I will definitely grab another street twin :bow:
Draco 06-08-2004, 11:20 AM I'm going to try a Spec Stg III in the vette. Spposeduly they have a new disk called the X-pad which reduces chatter after breakin and grips upto 600 rwtq.
StreamlineZ28 06-08-2004, 02:40 PM mine doesnt chatter in normal driving just in traffic when the rpms are low trying to start. but mine like SBains is the sh!ts in reverse.

Yeah, reverse sucks. Feels like something is going to break. That's the beauty of a torque-arm:rolleyes:
