Project Make It Fast

We were gonna install those gauges today but I forgot a few things. Sorry Mike :]

Yea your bad.

What are you doing with your stock tb after you get the ported one back? I am looking for an extra one to do the same thing.

Nothing with it. I was just going to give it back to Jeff but if he doesn't want it than you can have it.

Well today I avoided certain disaster. Found out yesterday that my upper radiator hose was about to burst due to it sitting on the serpentine belt pulley. It had nearly completely worn through the hose and was maybe a few days away from going on me. So I went up to Jeff's shop and replaced that with his and his dad's help. Got a couple pics but the quality sucks. Also got my headers prepped and cleaned for coating, which will happen this Friday. Also figured out that next Thursday will be the day that we will be putting my headers on (hopefully without a hitch)

ooooooooo nice save man!

Good call Mike!!!! That could've made a huge mess!

Did you have the tb coolant bypass mod and the coupler was pulling the hose down?

[Z28ISGR8]

Did you have the tb coolant bypass mod and the coupler was pulling the hose down?

Yes. Also the hose was all the way on the engine and apparently if you put it all the way on it will be directly rubbing on the pulley. So this new hose I only clamped on halfway so no more rubbing. Now the next thing I need to ge accomplished is taking off my tensioner and re-packing it with grease so it stop's freaking squeaking!! It's driving me insane.

Well it looks like my headers are on hold for awhile. As I'm sure a lot of you guys know I blew my trans yesterday, so obviously that is priority number one to get the car back on the road. Hopefully I'll get it into a shop on Monday and by most of the estimates I've received it will be done by the end of next week. So it's not too bad, just the fact I have to trouble my family for rides to work and school for the next week or two and I don't have a car if I wanna go somewhere. On a good note though, Campbell found a LS6 intake for me that a friend of his is getting rid of in June so I'll have that little toy to put on my car come summer.

Yeah ya know when ever you blow a trans you need an aftermarket converter

You got your wish Mike. Just talked to Mike Ridings and there will be an aftermarket converter in my car upon getting it returned to me next week.

[DETROITMUSCLE]

Hell yeah! you seriously have no idea how much of a difference this will make, better start saving for new tires
