Its not a Z26. Its a base 2.2 auto. I called the guy weeks ago and talked to him. The pic is not the actual car, its just some pic from motortropia.

A year, IF your lucky. Unless you are getting rid of the car, don't do it.

If I didn't know better I'd say that is a 3500 block, because that looks to be exactly how far off a jackshaft is from bolting up on a 3500. Maybe the late 3400 blocks share the same changed boss locations as a 3500? I have the stamped steel bracket and I cut it and welded in a piece of angle iron i...

Actually, most of the time when guys runing boost change their cam they end up going slower. A cam change may increase peak hp, but at a cost of low end torque and increased turbo lag. In the turbo buick world, guys have gone into the 9's with the stock cam, and it is very close to a stock 3x00 cam....

if you blow a 3400 it cost you 300$ to get another one. so if he stay in a reasonable hp level 300 to 350...he will be okay with a stock engine. once he get it dial-in he may build is engine aftewards ( if he wants more) when im playing with boost i always try my luck on a stocker because bad luck ...

Jon, not sure what you are thinking about there but unplugging the KS will throw a code within about 10 seconds (on a v6 or a quad). On the quad 4 there is an internal resistance of 90k-100k ohms in the knock sensor which the ECM is looking for at all times. If the ECM sees anything else, including ...

^ Nope. '707 ecm up to 92 I believe.

Annnd my new time... lol

The cooling fan doesnt come on till 110 or 115 degrees IIRC. Which is about the 3/4 mark on a standard cluster temp gauge.

Heres the video.. should be up in a few mins.

The 3500 is untouched except valve springs - I have LS6 yellow springs so that I can rev a little higher. How much boost a 3500 can handle is a hard question to answer. Assuming you have properly sized the turbo to your engine, it will mostly depend on the tune and what gas you are running. If your ...

I left at about 3500 rpm and dumped the clutch. The track was actually well prepped for a wednesday test and tune night I was really surprised. I could have launched it harder. Thats with 24.5 x 8.5 slicks.

Actually it was a supercharged 99-04 mustang that just was not running right all night. I think he made one good pass with the car and after that he was having some serious issues. Too bad because it probably would have been a good race, his supercharger was hella loud.

Thats still at about 12 psi.

And still 5 speed Barry..

Heres the slip. I gotta get the video off my buddy from work I didn't have time today.

And a new best 12.184 @ 117.64 MPH.

Oh snap.

I'll post the timeslip when I get home, and I have video too.
