wow this board is going going gone..
Been busy with school, work, car just got finished from the bodyshop, etc etc. I've been busy buying some upcoming mods, I just bought some March underdrive polished pulleys from a friend, and also got a 3" Hooker Catback and a TDS wonderbar. I'm also going to gut my airboxes.
I need to get some new tires and hope for 250+rwhp and 360+rwtq in 3rd gear on the dyno this spring.
Oh and if anyones interested, you can check out the new pics of my car with the new paint in my sig.

you've been over at newengland-motorsports.com w/ the rest of us, lol.
Probably no one remembers me since it's been so long since I dynoed at NEDT (Oct 02). Spent the last summer rebuilding the engine in a futile attempt to fix a coolant loss problem I had been living with ever since I put the used GTP heads on my car. After the 383 blower motor was done, I discovered (not the machine shop even though they claimed they pressure tested) that I had a crack in #1 exhaust port on my GTP heads. My machine shop has had them for 5 months and just gave up on them last week. Actually they only made 2 attempts to weld and the rest of the time was spent waiting for equipment and they moved the shop as well....
So now I am investigating other shops, notably ones that specialize in fixing heads. I hope to have the head fixed in the next couple of months so I can enjoy this $4500 engine I built (I put a whopping 120 miles on it before I yanked the head). Then I need to upgrade the fuel system and then get the blower. If I have to buy new heads I will get AFR's, but eating the cost of the GTP heads will force me to hold off on the blower for another year. Oh yeah I'm getting married this year as well.

look up TM Performance in the yellow pages they're out of Worcester and they do excellent work. Unfortunatly I don't know the number off the top of my head but it should be in there.

P.S. My daily driver is a 2000 GTP.....
