The only reason that I switched the spring out was because I had the pump out for inspection and thought I didn't really need over 100 psi. I was afraid of blowing out the rear main more than anything. lol.

Haha . Yeah 100 psi is a lot . From your report , I think the spring it came with would be the right one ..

Heads abd supercharger sent out yesterday

They said two week turnaround . I’m so excited to get my motor back together !!
Can wait .

So went to take out cam couple weeks ago and for some reason it was really tight in one of the middle bearing , had to give it alittle force to get it out , and yep cam bearing was alittle bunged up .

Took it to our local machine shop and got them done . Went with durabond ch25p. At first I thought they were installed incorrectly as holes weren’t at 4&7 o’clock , had to drive some research to find out once one oiling hole at 4oclock .


Also : my arp headstuds got pushed back to Jan 14

Got the cam installed , cam retaining plate , oil pump , new upper 3-bolt sprocket , Katech c5r chain . Added sac city oil pump hold down bolt for piece of mind .

Really like those align it tools for front and rear covers , makes things a breeze to install .

Parts shortages are a real issue right now- its going to get better.

A suggestion: use the extra time to powder coat things like your timing cover, oil pan, drive assembly, etc. Your engine compartment will look awesome.

Really hope so.
Hmmmm.. I thought about powder coating and dressing up the engine bay . Just was never my thing , was trying to keep it looking stock as much as possible .

I have other things that I can do like plumbing in the fore system , ice tank , cutting cross member and welding tabs to it . After that if I have time I’ll consider it .. Thank you sir

Was wondering if people are still doing the Anti venom mod ? Went ahead and ordered the mgw shifter to get this done before motor gets thrown in after my head studs arrive .

Was wondering guys running the mgw I’ve read it’s notchy and this mod helps smoothens it out alittle .. was thinking of running one washer ? Anyone running two? I’m sure two makes it feel more loose right ? Idk if I’d like that , one thing I’ve always likes a light aftermarket shifter is the positive engagement .

Thank. You for your opinion .

I’ve got mgw in both my Z28 and ZL1. I don’t have anti venom mod on either but the ZL1 does shift a little smoother than the Z28. I might try doing mod to Z28 just to see if it really works but I like how tight the mgw feels. If I wanted sloppy shifting, I’d stick with OEM shifter.

True that ! I think I will pass on the anti venom mod .

Thanks you sir for your input . Much appreciated

Got my clutch in today , so decided to install billet bearing support , new slave cylinder , tick remote resivior (which doesn’t come with a hose ) and mister remote speed bleeder .

I gotta say though I’m impressed with monsters work heck even the packaging is tops lol


You guys know what size stock line is for the clutch resivior , or any recommendation on where y’all got your hoses from would be appreciated . Thanks .

[Joe.G]

Nice Job, Results should be great, I just ordered the Remote reservoir and it said it came with the hose and pictures make it look like it does, I ordered mine From JDP.
Might be able to call them and get just the hose, As I am sure you know it has to be rated for Brake Fluid.
