It started out as a build for peace of mind and durability since i had the Maggie on and was pushing 9.5 psi of boost. But during the build and conversations back and forth between Alain and myself, i seem to have lost my way and the snow ball effect kicked in. So now we are swapping out the Motor and going for 700 RWHP

Hey maybe we get our cars at the same time, that could be cool to be testing 2 strokers outside SPI's shop, talk about some serious smoke shows

If not ill see you in Oshawa, we can compare notes.

That is why I asked, I thought that was what you were saying but wasn't completely sure and Alain hadn't mention that he had another one on the go.

Funny Alain and I talked about the same thing but I wasn't willing to give up my number matching block. I might have gone that way if I had some where to store the original block. So mine will take a little longer because of machining, it is what it is. They seem to think my RWHP will be in the same ball park, but I don't know, 700RWHP (roughly 875HP at the crank) seems a little wild to me on the street. I'd be happy with 575 -600RWHP. It's OK, I don't mind if people call me chicken LOL.

Will definitely be in Oshawa for the big event.

Ya I know, but we either have to have better weather on the weekends or I have to take more time off during the week.

The mods are as follows:

E-Force Supercharger
Roto Fab E-Force CAI
Fuel Rail Upgrade
65lb Fuel Injectors
Cross Drilled and Slotted Brake Rotors, Ceramic Pads and Braided Hoses
Pfadt Camaro Performance Kit - Stage 3 http://www.pfadtracing.com/catalog/p...roducts_id/186
1400 HP Half Shafts http://www.driveshaftshop.com/domest...-bolt-in-axles
Dual Fuel Pump
Oil Catch Can
Gauges
A Pillar Gauge Pod
Forged Bottom End, crank, rods, pistons
Blower Cam - cam, springs, retainers, guides, push rods, trunion upgrade

I think I have covered everything on the list.

Alain and Andrew, please feel free to way in on this and add anything I might have missed.

Oh ya, and a set of these to the front and back.


Oh and a set of LED Side Marker Lights with tint

You do realize that this is going to void your warranty eh?

LOL, I asked that earlier in the thread as a joke, cause isn't that the question everyone asks? I can almost here it now, Dealership "sir you have a broken output shaft and based on your modifications, it is not covered by the warranty" and me "what to do you mean it isn't covered by my warranty, it was a known issue".

All of us who bought the early production cars, back in 2009, will have our warranties run out by 2012...GO FOR IT MAT

Exactly, and I have never been overly concerned about warranty.

[2010victoryredss_ron]

so what are you going to do with your motor Frank???? how many kms do you have now....

[TJ91]

So I was down to SPi on the weekend to drop off my front and back SS badges and they have completed the suspension upgrades, half shafts, brakes, gauges and pillar pod, and the LED side marker lights. I have added a couple of teaser pics in the OP that Alain sent to me.

The engine was schedule to be pulled and sent out on Monday. It will most likely be the better part of a couple of weeks before it returns. We also decided that it would be a good idea to have my headers ceramic coated.

Will post some pics when I have them. Oh and I decided to upgrade my clutch while it is already torn apart with an LPE ZR1 twin disc clutch.

A little LPE action eh?
Sounds like you are planning on dumping the clutch at high RPM.
I hope you have some really stick tires, or Scott may beat you off the line.

I'll just use my James Bond smoke screen mod to daze and confuse him!
