Exterior Mods:

SOLD my SS HOOD (dont know if im going to regret this or not yet)

Exterior Thoughts:

Trade my 97 SS spoiler for 98+ SS spoiler
Trade SS wheels for somethng new
New paint

Ok before anyone asks yes my car is a true SS but had to change out CAI because I couldnt close the hood with the new valve covers. Thats also why I elected to sale the hood.

Thanks Lets here it

Heads next...then retune.

 

I have to agree. Nice set-up so far, wake that puppy up even more with the heads and tune.

 

I would love a set of heads but they are very expensive. Anything else I could do other than heads at this point? Thats less dough. Im not even considering spray so leave that out.

If I were going to do heads would a set from Loyd be the best bet? was thinking LE2's but I have new springs and pushrods that I hate to see go to waste.

 

Ok, What about a good set of weld draglite skinnies and slicks / DR for the rear?
Battery relocation?

 

Ive been thinking about the battery relocation kit but does that really help alot? Another thing I thought about are the LCA relocation brackets. Thoughts?

 

Any reason you are running 1.5 rr's on the exhaust side? I would run 1.6.

 

Running 1.5's for peice of mind. Your not going to gain much by running 1.6 on exhaust side but u take more of a chance with valve clearance. I didnt want to have to worry about piston slap. It also helps even out the cam hence my cam #'s.

 

HEADS HEADS HEADS!!! Cant breath cant make power... You should be able to have your heads worked for under 1k no problem.... 1.6rr is fine... Also Accel products are just total crap IMO, try to stay with Delco...

 

U have a nice setup already. you may wana try underdrive pullies.

Boy do I know, If I had to do it over again I would have bought the MSD opti. This one ive got ive had to already change once and it was only 3mths old when that happened. It was replaced for free from summit under warranty but when asked to replace for different brand they said NO. So long story short Im stuck w/ it until it breaks again and my warranty is up.


Laredo,

EEEHHH from my research I have found that the underdrive pulleys aren't worth their weight in gold. You also have to buy a shorter belt when installing and heard some cases where it affects your charging system in a BAD way. Thanks for the input though. KEEP EM COMING GUYS

 

I have underdrive pullies on my car and it charges fine. you have to get the alternator pulley and the crank pulley for it to work the right way. I cut my belt and took it to oreilly and matched it for the right size i needed. I've also heard underdrives takes .1 off ur ET. I'm a racer so any time off my ET the better in my opinion.

 

wrong forum...

 

huh?

 

Where is your engine tech question? Should move to general F-body forum.
