Full exhaust and ZR1 OEM rims and tires. Info in sig. Need it to warm up and clear up so that I can get it to my father-in-laws lift.

Porting heads, solid roller cam, more better carb, window tint, and put the Simmons rims on (finally).

well, the Iroc is in full disassemble mode. eng./trans is on the gar. floor (and in the f'n way ), next all the sheet metal w/be stripped off and pitched in the trash (exh. for the drivers fender, thats still perfect), and the int. will be completly taken out.

currently, in between all my side jobs Im in the middle of, Im putting 233/239 .570 lift cam, 52 holley tbody, ported intake and heads, 340 fuel pump, stole 3:73 rear end out of my Iroc, edelbrock midlength headers/offroad ypipe, edelbrock rpm catback, flame overlays, msd wires, ummmm, prolly more just cant think of right now.
dyno tune to follow in spring if I didnt spend enough already!

Well as soon as I find a timing chain cover, Jeff and I am going to button up the timing set and add a Meziere billet electric water pump to the turbo Impala SS and then throw a small shot of nitrous on it to cool the incoming air charge. Also eyeing some 17" ET streets for it and looking at BMR rear upper and lower control arms. Its gonna go or its gonna blow is my motto for 2004.

In the past two months I have installed a Moser 4.11 12bolt, 3.5" aluminum shaft,BMR Torque arm, LCA's and PHB. Still planning on getting an ASP pulley and a ported TB. I may have to replace my lifters and if that happens, stage II heads will be installed too.

I had some engine problems that required me to take my motor apart, so I figured I'd make it more powerful in the process

Still so many other parts I need, no racing for me this year. I'll spectate and cruise around, but I gotta keep the RS off the track.

I have a lifter noise after high rpm runs. Someone suggested it may be my o-ring on the oil pump pick up letting it suck some air so I am going to replace the o-ring first. After like a 1-2-3 run above 6000rpm I get a bad tick and if I let it idle for about a minute it goes away. And no its not bend push rods, I have comp 918's, Ti retainers and chromemoly pushrods
