Youd think I would have learned from you... but hey, there's nothing like first hand experience.

I'll post some random pictures while I'm doing everything just so everyone can see. I'm getting to see parts of the car I never thought I would.

JantzenOKC · 10-01-2015, 05:48 PM

I drained the oil, wasn't much in there. Only 3 little pieces of aluminum. I'm sure there's more in the pan though.

I'm taking the camaro home in the blazer lol.

Upgrade the torque converter while you're in there

What's the plan now? Forge everything?

I would like to, especially if I'm going to trailer it somewhere far for a custom dyno tune. Might as well take my time and get it all done. Stall convertor, HPFP from the LF3 or LF4, ZL1 in tank pump, meth kit(if I decide to) etc. Might have to start a go fund me lol.

Really all we need is pistons and rods and maybe valve springs. Brian(from Fabberge) is trying to get some stronger valve springs made. He says on the dyno when they turn the boost up beyond 14 that the valves start to float.

Sorry to hear that happen man, ive been through the same thing. You forget about it soon enough

MagnumForceGB · 10-02-2015, 10:18 AM

There is a local tuner here that I talk to and explain DI to. I like freaking him out when I tell him 13 PSI of boost on a 11.3:1 compression and 0.88 lambda. He does street and track tuning.

You need to start using Lambda for tuning, tells you how much fuel was left over and used for cooling.

What do u think your turn around time will be to be up and running again?

That sounds excellent pistons and rods aren't too hard to come by as long as your willing to go custom. I think if they even offered a separate packed with forged rods, pistons and better valves people would upgrade to it.
