Ok, sounds good.... Tranny is stock right? PM me pricing of the new motor build if u dont mind..

 

To be honest...I dont know cost.....feel free to ask Sharif...I have nothing to hide...More than one shop is involved with this build....

 

Ok Ill ask Sharif later, nothing being done to the tranny though right.. ?

 

Maybe change a gear or 2.....Wont know until the traction control and testing is finished.....Not sure about the final gear either.

 

Mike, when is everyone meeting over in Atlanta ?


Shoot me a pm when the date gets nailed down, I will make the drive over. Did Sharif ever figure out where he is going to tune the traction control ? You might have to make a large donation to the atlanta police department, lol.

 

the heads
http://www.gtmotorsports.com/product...cat=473&page=3
$4400
the motor
http://www.gtmotorsports.com/product...cat=473&page=2 (figure Sam or Sharif both prolly charge about the same to build a longblock)
$10,700

add in the cams about ~$1200, HKS HG @ $350

and thats a good ballpark of ~$17 large

 

You have taken it to the next level for sure. I like the Sleeperish look you have not alot of people would suspect 1000whp under the hood

 

I am not sure ....I will find out from Sharif.....I will let you know......Sharif said that the I-285 is the best place to test the traction control

It was way more than that.....The reason I dont know the exact price is because there were a lot of things added to make the motor handle the power I am going for....Girdle ...http://www.gtmotorsports.com/product...2&cat=0&page=1...... for example added alot to the price.... Timing Component Kit is another....I did not want to used parts from my other motor for this build....I wanted all new parts....Thats why I have no idea what this is costing me.

Thank you Gord......Whats up with your car??

 

It must be fun messing with the other docs when they bring their toys out to play.

 

I figured it was way more XKR because my build was about that much...... Ill just ask Sharif when its all done.... lol He will prob keep adding to the invoice....

 

Depending on my work schedule (I am going to be out of town for a couple weeks) I might be able to get it finished by tuesday thats optimistic though. Then I need a retune because of the bigger cams. We are then working on the traction control and maybe an E85 tune. So if not by tuesday it will be mid October i wanted to get some miles on it and make sure the bugs are worked out so I can head down to Z-days in the spring its about a 40hrs drive so i want to make sure I don't have "issues" 1/2 way down, but we could see snow anytime after october 15th and usually by the 31st there is snow on the ground.

 

well its official, XKR and Cass's cars are done before mine, I fail at life!

 

You know its bad if my build beat yours from start to finish, if I pick it up on Saturday it will be 10 months and 1 day.

 

you have to factor in that there was an "intervention" involved with your car.

 

GTM kit but haven't decided on the Stage yet. I want 600+ this go around with built motor. Will decide closer to time for build.

 

Deal. ZDAYZ 2011 we can get it done lol.

 

...One of them owns a 08' ZO6 that got spanked in that event where i got DQ'ed...So they are all well aware of the Beast




..........When do your build start??

....Oh yeahhhh !!!

Nothing less than GT30

 

go get that motor broken in already....lets go.....my break in took like 4 days (cause I was being a pu$$y). Larry wanted to know why I hadn't raced anyone the first night I picked it up from the shop on the break in tune and stock exhaust lol

tom

 

.....I am sure Sharif will take his time with this break-in...

 

About a year ago but all I did was switch turbo kits, you built a whole motor and new turbo kit and cass did it 2 times.
