***New Engine Build Thread***

Thanks man. So many things could go wrong with this project. I'm thankful that it's going so well.

Do you have a thread that lists your suspension mods? I'm wondering what I'll need to dip into the 8s with my Aluminator. The power is there, but I'm not sure if my suspension is up to task. Thanks.

I don't, but I can tell you what I used.

BMR GT500 drag springs
Strange single adjustable struts
Viking Warrior shocks
Stock uca
BMR boxed lca (poly)
BMR relocation brackets
BMR bolt in anti roll bar

It would have been easier if I had a BMR poly/solid uca like I do now. Get this uca. I was thinking it would add nvh. It didn't. I can't wait to use it next time at the track with the bar angles set for separation.

Hope this helps.

Any update? How’s it running these days?

Sure thing. I dynoed in September and it made 1101 rwhp / 839 rwtq on a Dynojet. I put close to 3,000 miles on it. Took it on a 500 mile road trip in October. It's been switched back to 93/Boostane Professional for winter, here in Indiana.

All good. Fonzie @ Novelo Racing Engines is the man!

Scott Hasty has the tuning down. This throttle body drives like a tiny, stocker. It's unbelievable.

Another update:

I came to realize that those LTH headers have 2.75" collectors and 2.75" X. The seller lied to me about the size (sold as 3" collectors & X). He basically admitted it when I called him on it. He wouldn't refund me. I sold them as 2.75" collectors and made more than I paid.

I bought Stainless Power 1-7/8" & 3" X. Then had 3" Vibrant Super Quiet resonators welded between them and some 2.75" Borla over axles and then Kooks axle back. It's quiet and doesn't rasp.

The full exhaust was on for the dyno pulls.

Hell yeah. Glad to hear it all came together. Let us know when you get it back through the traps.
