Doesn't happen often but the C5R block,Dragon slayer crank and ETP heads were free. As I said it was just labor time which I just paid my worker about 1 weeks pay.

Then I sent everything out for new rods,pistons,bearings adn had the heads re ported,new valves/springs ect. I have about $2k out of my pocket into this drivetrain.

Batman 01-15-2010 02:36 PM

Tell ya what, i'll give ya $2500.00 cash right now... :)

DemonWithin99 01-15-2010 05:01 PM

shit I'd have to upgrade an awful lot to handle all that... bad enough I'm leaning toward a cam/head job in the future.

and it'll cost more than 2k... u bastard...:sFun_explosive:

smokinss 01-15-2010 08:27 PM

sweet Don. Cant wait to see it with a hood on it.

My84Z 01-16-2010 02:17 AM

maybe you guys are missing something it cost him 2500 out of pocket..... if you knew who he traded for the labor you would know it is gonna cost him alot cause Brent gets alot of work done to his cars.

84ta406 01-16-2010 02:52 AM

I had a feeling it was from Brents vette.

Slowhawk 01-29-2010 11:58 PM

Drove the car a few times without a hood. Now I'm waiting probly 4-5 weeks for the hood to show up.

Dropped enough weight that the front of the car was 1" higher.Nothing heating the springs didn't fix.

So,car runs and moves,just need a hood to clear.

ILuvPizzaTimes10 01-30-2010 12:39 AM

AWESOME!!!! thats good news!!! ATCO!?!?!?!? haha

Ordered a VFN 4" sloped ram air hood. Only hood that will clear the intake setup. 4-5 week wait time. Fuckers.

ls6monte 02-01-2010 03:12 AM

c4boom 02-02-2010 04:07 AM

Don't know yet.Want to get some miles on the car to seat the tranny in.

Slowhawk 03-22-2010 02:16 AM

Another update. Hood is on,needs some more adjusting but looks like it will line up good. Still don't know if I like it.Luckilly my car rumble's alot to make up for the aggressive hood.

Got about 200 miles on the car.Runs great.Car was over 500hp last time on the dyno with the timing low and the fuel system crapping out.Now the fuel pressure is holding and my A/F diped into the 10's (instead of 14-1) so we'll see when it hit's the dyno again. Got the shiftpoint at 6400rpm which is too low.Will raise it to 7000rpm shortly.

My84Z 03-22-2010 02:20 AM

almost there. looks like you'll be making the first points race
