I'm reading a quality fastener, assembled with the right washers and lube are the most important part.

Ohhhh...and here i was always under the impression that studs were stronger than bolts because of the way tension pulls something or other (i know....very technical)

I'm sure there is a benefit over using regular bolts. But if you take 2 fasteners rated at 190,000 psi, one a stud and one a bolt, will the engine know the difference?

Maybe there is something on arps website that can explain it.

No. I figured the cylinders would be as slick as glass but they still have a good crosshatch on them. I'm convinced that when the msd opti was bad and I was troubleshooting that issue, that's when the rings got washed out. Every time the ignition was turned on or cranked the 60# injectors dumped the fuel in. And there was a lot of cranking!

I reconnected with a guy I worked with back in the early 90s when I worked at a machine shop and he now has his own shop so I know for sure he knows what he is doing so now I have a place to take my LT1 for work and I dont have to worry about it being right. This guy knows his stuff and now all I gotta do is get a better job so I can pay for it hehehe.

Crazy night last night. Stuck at work (glass building) sold 5 cars in a hour while tornadoes are in the area. No power. 2 tornadoes within 2 miles of my house. The family arena (place where my high school graduation ceremony was supposed to be today) got the roof ripped off. Graduation is cancelled for now. The holiday inn close to my house had casualties.

ya, i would have preferred to have a 96" wide, but this will work for now. in the future i do plan on getting a 24'-28' enclosed but that's just out of my price range now.

So I get the car finished, start it, fires right up. I bring the idle up to 2k and let it warm up and it starts backfiring out the exhaust again. I'm thinking wtf omg fml, all of that. So I instantly break out the compression tester, the same brand new rental from oreilys I used before and threw it in #1...... 75#. Again with the fml wtf omg etc. I've got an old school tester I used to use, the kind that you have to hold in while cranking, but its a pain in the ass because it won't fit in all the spark plug holes with headers, plus you have to have two people to use it. But I figure, what the hell, so I go get my wife, tell her the drill and jam it in... blam 135#. I throw their Chinese crap back in, 75#. Their compression tester has a leak in the hose.

Fuck

I think when testing the old rings, when I added oil and i seen the pressure rise it was sealing the leaky hose, not the rings.

Well, on one hand, I'm pissed because I'm still having problems but I was very relieved to see the compression is good. I can't deny I was getting fuel in the oil and the ring gaps were very wrong before but regardless, the backfiring issue is not due to low compression. I'm going to put the dfi on my dads car and see if the problem follows.

Lol yeah, makes sense. My sense of childhood icon cars are a bit skewed cuz I of course grew up through the 90s and then my dad always kept me interested in the cars from his era, which are the late 60-early 70s muscle cars (plus the 77 Bandit Trans Am). I never really got into anything from the 80s.

Decided to give him the full experience and rolled down the windows and floored it for him. He was pretty impressed on chirping the tires going into 2nd and loved the acceleration. Said he misses that feeling so much compared to the "squirrel under the hood" in his car (he drives a Pontiac Vibe now cuz he has kids) lol.

So I want to do a contest for the dyno day, based off the vettes dyno numbers.

I am thinking something like....I will pay for the persons session, who guesses the horsepower closest without going OVER.

Now, I think that people should pay for the chance to win the dyno sessions...but how much do I charge.

Or does it just sound to complicated and not worth it.

Sell it and buy a vette!! Just kidding, had to.

Hell I still get a ton of shit for doing my 383 turbo LT1 build (almost done) a lot of guys saying I should just turbo my LS swapped T/A. In the end it's my car and they can kiss its ass when it puts a couple bus lengths on their LS1 cars.

Well after much debate the original engine and T56 from the WS6 are being sold with harness And computer. Good new is its going to bring a LT1 car back to being a LT1 and not a 5.3 swap car.

And the Formula might be finding a new home with the same guy if he can sell his 5.3.

Sorry man but your asking for my opinion..... Piece of SHIT, looks like shit wouldn't be caught dead in it, even if it is a drag car... If the guy is listing it as a drag car it's extremely vague, to boot it doesn't have a time slip..... it could be quick but it looks like a budget/thrown together build that some hillbilly that does his first cousin built on a 30 pack of busch light... plus your a big boy lol, gonna have to cut the roof and floor pan to fit you LOL... A nice put together build drag car will show the parts list along with time slips... this car just screams incest.

Well its obviously not paintes and i hate the tail lights.

But its prob a stock gn motor... He has a vague list...but at the same time some people are not computer savvy.

Sorry about that. Ive had crap load of stuff dumped on me lately wife is telling me we may need to move in 1 year. So i got to finish half a house remodel in that time. So we can sell it. My job is flooding me with work. Wife is volunteering me for stuff without asking me. Plus other things.....

On top of that have a guy bothering me to polish his aluminum wheels. And there the worst shape ive ever seen. Last set like this was some old mag rims from the early 70's took me 50 hours to do. And keep telling him there is a reason nobody wants to touch them. Guess he heard through the grape vine. I was able to fix them. So he won't drop it.

So you think the stock springs with the new rear is what caused that?


I wanted to ask you what you are using for LCA...are they adjustable, cause if so, I think if they are extended and forcing the rear front or back it may bind the suspension...
