Ok. On my iPhone the pics are sideways. But on the PC they are normal. I used MS Picture Manager to do turn them. WTF?

15hp....... you think too small lol

BUT, I'm pretty content. I think I'll hit my limit this time. And this LS3/L99 bottom end can only take so much. I'll be happy to keep it tame. :rolleyes:

it can take plenty. water methanol install next...

I'm remember PQ back in 09 saying he was going to stay stock. Now he's in need of an intervention for a very contagious modding addiction.:help:

Once you're hooked, its hard to stop.:happyanim:

Nah, then you start doing things you wouldn't normally do to get the money!! :sm0:

Dr Jkel 06-27-2011 09:30 AM

2 words

Cut Outs:D:D:D:D

You have heard mine and while they have it it is easy to do.


I am glad Ron is taking care of this for you. I know you will be happy when you get it back.

Remember he dyno'd mine with my 22's on it so that can give you some sort of idea of what you are getting. Mine made 463 with the cut outs open, and oh it went 191 mph:sm0::sm0::sm0:

PQ 06-27-2011 01:05 PM

No money for cut-outs. :rolleyes:

Dr Jkel 06-27-2011 01:07 PM

I know wishful thinking, but they do sound good.

Holy crap. They sound heavenly. I'm just on a big time budget this time around.

I'd loved to have just had them throw yours in there. Get you some cash, and save me some. I e-mailed Ron but I think it's too late. This morning he said they were sliding it in.

It's all good my brother. I can't wait to see the videos of your beast when you get it back. I am interested to see your numbers with the 22's on it now that you have a cam going in. I have always been told that a S/C is roughly 140 bolt on HP. I am hoping you make around 525 or so.

I am kinda using the 525 as a beggining. I'll be ok with that but hope for a little more. SAFELY of course.

Dude. Call Ron and let him know. He just told me that he was about an hour away from the swap. He'll need to hear from you. As long as it's the exact same cam, I'm fine. ;)

Dr Jkel 06-27-2011 01:56 PM

OK I call him

PQ 06-27-2011 01:59 PM

:laugh:

How's THAT for use of the boards......??? :bellyroll:

Dr Jkel 06-27-2011 02:05 PM

Done deal, I'll PM you

PQ 06-27-2011 02:06 PM

Sweet.

Always nice to save a little money. LOL

Yup. But John had bought a stage 1 first. AFTER the one from Janetty. Ultimately ended up with a stage 2.

garcmol 06-27-2011 02:10 PM

Oh, I see what's happening here. Gotcha!

I got a feeling someone is on the phone right now......and maybe doing a cost analysis of a certain 'toy'.........

:rolleyes:

LOL... I said the same thing right before the fest... "why change good parts"... Exactly two days after returning tranny got re-built..:facepalm:. Camaro21 almost ran me down in the shootout due to tranny slipping. But I'd still do it the same way again... you could last forever

Good to know your limit... we all learned a huge lesson last weekend when Chris rolled his car 4 times due to rod through block... Roll cage should be next on your list...

I remember. But you have more power than I do and track it way more. But you are right. I'll beggin a little savings account for the iminent breakdown.

Yeah, 525 is where I ended up with a 'baby cam', zero fuel system upgrades, and stock pulley.
