from your lips to gods ears lololol

hopefully we get there!

 

I have no doubt in my mind you will.

 

Well again, best of luck to you guys. I ahe always enjoyed reading your thread. Very informative. Very...

Chris

 

just a quick update (non power related!)

We thought the paint work would be done in time for Hot Import Nights...but the lovely humid weather we've had here all week means painting, especially a metallic, is a no-no, so I decided to wait till the weather breaks a bit to do it. However, we got the custom work done to my hood (I don't think anyone has done this yet...I'm excited to see the final results!), new bumper and sideskirts are prepped ready for paint, and my good friend Ceasar at Lightwerkz totally hooked it up on a set of 06 Headlights WITH retrofit!!!!!

Pics and details to follow soon guys, I promise. Once the paint work is done, its back to the dyno for retuning, and maybe that Cosworth intake manifold will be ready to go then!

 

Cant wait for the pics Adam. Im sure she will be beautiful just like your motor.

 

can't wait to see the pics

 

I am guessing Kwames will be a stroked 4.x liter with NA mods similar to Adam!

 

I won't hide the fact that I am going with a NA stroker kit. IMO there so much more cooler things about the motor setup we are building for me that me letting it be known that I will be stroking my motor is me hardly letting the cat out of the bag. Believe me when my motor is done all you guys will know about it.

Now back to Adam's motor....

 

Congrats Adam.....That Z of your was one of the cleanest and nicest Z's Ive seen.....cant imagine it looking any better...Cant wait to see pics and maybe finally getting a shotgun ride....Sooon as I come off this crazy summer schedule with Con Ed Ill pop by and check you out....Wondering if a supercharger would fit a build like this moreso than a turbo???Hmmmmm

Pete

 

thanks Pete! We missed ya at Hot Import Nights this weekend!!!!!

 

3" MAF? Anyone seen this around, I almost bought one for a DSM to try to make it work for me, but Since I keep hearing this is PNP ill wait.

 

sorry man, been swamped all last week, but we'll get pics snapped and on the site soon I promise

vids as soon as the weather clears up and I fix the rear main seal

 

Still following this thread. I love it.

 

Thanks man...Good to be missed by the TSZar Had to work at the disaster in Manhattan saturday...12-16 hours a day for the past month and a half I didnt even know it was this weekend thats how out of the loop Ive been lately.....Anyway bro cant wait to see that beast of yours...Im pretty sure you will end up with close to 340-350rw NA when you are all said and done.....One

Pete

 

that looks sick almost like it needs to be made into a poster!!!!!!

 

I thought I read that you used a revup engine for this build. I just looked back at the first pictures and it seems like your motor is not a revup.

I guess I'm curious why you didn't go with a revup for this project... Seems like it would have made a bit more power... Maybe an ECU/wiring conflict with your car?

 

no it's not a revup

if you are building a motor as I did (forged pistons, rods, all balanced and blueprinited) it would make zero difference whether you started with a revup or non revup. Not to mention, a revup into a non revup car would require a ton of rewiring, a complete standalone ecu, all for no gain whatsoever

 

Any updates on the car/engine Adam? What else could you do to get to the 320+ your looking for?

Chris

 

mainly just going to be tuning related Chris. But, we've been really focused on getting the body work wrapped up, so I honestly have not even driven the car in a couple weeks (except to last weekends show). I want to get the body work done, then tackle the rear main seal leak (the reason I have not used it), then we'll retune and take it from there

 

i got one you can run, its an automatic 17yr olds car (kid cant drive), bone stock, so you all might have a chance. On the other hand, I have this buddy named ronnie with another stock c6 but his is 6MT. I own a Z, dont get me wrong(and love it). but if you wanted to spend all that money on a build to try to beat a c6, why didnt you just go out and buy a c6, which is still going to beat your build. A stock ls2 will put down anywhere from 360-370whp stock. Consider the vette weighs the same if not less as your Z...the vette would eat it. On the other hand you can pick on the vette's fat little brother aka the goat, weighing in at 3700lbs and you might not get pulled on that bad. Cool build for a Z, but if you want some stock lsX runs, you know where to find us in ATL on friday and saturday nights
