-whitelx

 

[ccjcobra99]

Decide whether an 02-04 C5 Z06 fits in my budget around January and then put the '99 up for sale.

 

[wizbangdoodle]

Billetflow IRS brace, set of Nitto's and maybe some methanol injection. Anyone had experience with methanol injection?

1970 Chevelle, 502 Crate with alum heads, roller rocker (real setup, not just tips) B&M TH400 with trans brake, Mosier 12 bolt with spool and 4.11's. I did the paperwork Sat. and should pick it up next week. Gotta do a cage, tub and some stickies for it. It has the cell and fuel system already. I probably won't back half it until next winter.

I'm eaning more toward early spring on this stuff but:

Get a built motor for my turbo set-up, sump the fuel tank, larger injectors, bigger fuel pumps (aviators maybe).

For Sure:

Intake, TB, Pulley, Injectors, Pulley, DTE Tranny Brace, Injectors, & 17in BFGs.

Possibly:

Bigger Cam, Springs, & 50 shot.

T-56 And Centerforce Dual Friction will Finally go in.

Pfab Intercooler tank Finally put on.

Some new Nittos.

Dyno tune at fast Specialties.

Maybe a 2.8 Pulley

And if the Christmas bonus is nice VT STroker May be on the way with some Juice!

 

[C Weil]

Oh yeah, winter break will be busy.

MoTeC, tuning and I might install my "special" brakes for the Saleen, some tuning and dual-bypass oil filter setup on the Cobra (plus new wheels and tires...maybe), and selling the other Mustang. I hope.

Clarke, fuel pump has sitting/waiting since I left, sorry it's been such a pain. Want to pick it up this weekend? I can have my buddy meet you somewhere in Redmond with it. Hopefully soon at least, I don't like it sitting out for so long (which is my fault, obviously)!

 

[Joe5.0]

For the 5.0 Gonna try and get a Bassani X-pipe, Accufab 70MM throttle Body, Centerforce DF Clutch, New Hawk Brake pads, New Kuhmos, FLyuidline Radiator, and maybe some 3:55 gears. I want constint 13 sec runs at over 100. O and i need my heatercore fixed....

 

[team23jordan]

Custom dyno tune

hopefully
18g turbo or VF37
STi TMIC
STi intake manifold
STi TGV

after that maybe a set of new wheels and tires

 

[C Weil]

Mean, don't do the Centerforce DF! Put a real clutch in it!!!

Jordan, I watched an STI with a VF37 make about 350awhp. Not bad.

 

[tscripa]

Fall / Winter mods: Port SC, TB and plenium, Billetflow pullies (2.93 plus 4 idlers), tune, H&R sport springs, MGW shifter.

To date I have installed: JLT RAI, Borla Stinger, MM full length SFCs

 

[Tylerb59]

Clutch and tires.

Probably another SPEC Stage 3.

lol
didn't you and mean get in an argument last time they were puttin a clutch too?

yeh i'm leaning towards VF37 or 20g turbo
but if i get those, i'll probably get FMIC and need to upgrade fuel pumps and other stuff..which costs a lot more $$$$

i want my car to push around 360awhp and 350awtq, it'll push that much power before 06 summer starts :coolman:

 

[C Weil]

Haha, yeah, because it's a blah clutch! It's also not meant for much power- one side of the disk uses material with the same coefficient of friction and heat properties of the stock material (which is known to fry easily)...if one side goes, who cares about the other? Not a good scenario. Besides, there is better stuff on the market in general. I guess I'm just opinionated, that's all.

Although I know it's not the perfect logic, I guess it's another thing to think about...have you ever seen a real racecar with a Centerforce dual-friction in it?

On a similiar note, why the Stage 3 Tyler?

T23j, that'd be a cool vehicle if you got it to that stage. Can the shortblock and transmission safely hold that much power on a non-WRX/Sti car? I don't know anything of the Subaru's internals. I've only ever done headwork on them (lots of them, actually).

 

[Joe5.0]

Ok what clutch then lol?

 

[CharlieCobra03]

If yer gonna stay with CF use the DFX if it's available for the application.

 

[C Weil]

Spec Stage 2 or just about any McLeod (short of the twin-disk, which is awesome, but expensive). Spec Stage 3 is overkill, and 2 should last you longer than the CF. Those are just my opinions, though!

 

[Joe5.0]

Well the centerforce DF seems like the most bang for the buck and i didnt have any problems in the 00 saleen.
