+1 on that chris first thread i came to for the work day LOL

 

why does it matter how professional you are we arent selling candy here. This is cars we are talking about where u get ur hands cut up drink beers with ur boys f*ck all that professional stuff. I rather someone keep it real with me then be all "professional" as you call it and sell me a bunch of stuff i dont need because they are a sales person

 

Amen BROTHER.

 

Still cant just give a straight up "IM WRONG Julian"can you? You need to just keep jabbing, and jabbing..This is exactly the reason I love the drama..Will you ever admit your wrong, ever without excuses?
Just to clarify Sharif, your EXACT words were:
You requested a Video to disprove you, you got it..A simple "ok I was wrong" would suffice without all the unprofessional jabs.
Honestly I would love to see you admit liability on one of your warranties you offer Im sure blame would be passed on to somthing not covered..You just shady bro...Good day.

 

things that make u go hmmmm BROTHER

 

Just wanted to post in here and let everyone know I am experiencing headlift, but it doesn't surface on the dyno. I have to run through a couple of gears before I see it. Also it doesn't surface right away. I usually see it after a couple of hard runs and then my car starts overheating. After I add more water to the radiator the problem goes away for bit until I beat the car several more times again. It's definately not the tune either. Everyone (Sam@GTM, Mark@SGP, and Sharif@Forged) has tuned this car and it's always had this problem. Believe I wish it wasn't headlift because I wouldn't have to drop another $4k+ grand to change my studs., but since I am changing the studs I will be adding a couple of more mods and turning up the boost.

 

what head studs are you running?
FYI, That was my 5th dyno pull in 5th gear to 145 mph with the dyno ramp set at 130, which is a pretty good amount of load for that HP. If headlift would have surfaced, it would have done so right then and there...
Also, Sharif asked for the dyno, thats what he got..I am done entertaining people for now..

 

Julian I am not posting to discredit your video, I am just telling everyone about my experiences. I have the regular ARP studs. I was one of the earlier builds. I blew my stock motor in January 2005.

 

I remember that...sucks, you must drive like an animal Do yourself a favor and go with the 1/2" studs.

 

sure does seem like thats why you were posting. Call me crazy

 

Thanks I am looking into both. I do drive pretty hard.....mostly freeway runs too which doesn't help this issue.

 

Actually if your gonna lift the heads, most likely gonna do it around peak TQ at 4700rpms.

 

I dont think that was his intentions Rome..

 

Julian's car doesn't not show signs of headlift in that dyno video, but neither does mine on the dyno. How is that trying to discredit his video? I am just stating what my car does and when the headlift surfaces.

If he says he cars does not have headlift then I believe him. I have no reason not to believe him as the headlift problem has been fixed with stronger studs, which Julian is using on his new motor. Why would he lie?

 

ok my bad gman =D i can admit when im wrong IM SORRY

 

Then I don't know what's wrong with my car, but it definately looses water and overheats after several had runs. Once I add more water I can beat the car a couple of more times without overheating. Other then that the car runs strong with no other issues.

 

nice vid julian.

but it looks like sharif said what you wanted.........

"You have proved that your car is together and running. I was wrong."

am i missing something?

sorry to hear youre going thru that again Gman, that sucks.

 

Other than the fact it's going to cost a grip just to change the studs the issue is more off an inconvience. I have a couple gallons of distilled water in my trunk for when ever I need it. The good news is the car overheated the other day with my wife in it and she asked why it was doing that. I told her about having to change the studs to fix the problem and how much it would cost. She didn't biatch about it, but she did make a face when I told her how much it would cost. It's getting hard justifying chit for the car with 2 kids and another on the way.

 

is the water blowing out of the coolant overflow??

 

Are you ready for this? It use to, but it hasn't done that in a while. Even my radiator hoses use to fill up with pressure, but they don't anymore either.
