Too bad your not were I am, cause SLP is about 10 minutes from my house.

[Mr. Luos]

HAHA!!

I should just send it to you, and have you go over there with it.

Hopefully this helicoil kit works. If not, I might just try to loctite the threads up there. The bolt would hold fine, just didn't torque down. Gotta do it today otherwise my dealer is calling SLP in the morning for me.

Personally, I'd beat the crap out of slp.... Its not worth it messing around with an oil pump, what if it doesn't work right and you wreck everything you put into it? SLP is great about shipping things fast to nh, wonder why they are so slow about going west?

[88camaroproject]

damn, thats gonna be a bad ass car. and umm how did you get all that work done for free?

[drvngstorm05]

I just don't think they will ship me a pump until they get the old one. Which will severely slow this build down. I was hoping to start it in 2 weeks from today. I bet I don't have a pump for 1 1/2 weeks.

One of the head guys for the shop that did the work on the heads knows what motor the heads are going on.
There has been a dispute between the shop that built the motor and the shop that did the heads. They both want to look good here. Can't say I blame them.

Would be pretty close. This machine should make around 500 RWHP, hopefully a little better than that. Compression will be right around 11:1. Should make for a stout car even without boost or spray. 10's would be easy with the right suspension and slicks. Should be 11's on street tires. At sea level, trapping 122-124 MPH.

[Mr. Luos]

Oh...and I got that damned main cap bolt out today as well.
I will post a pic of that fucker tomorrow when I get home from work.

[FormulaLT1]

Well, I pulled a Mr.Luos today.Had a bolt in my rear panhard brace that would not come out and broke my sawzall trying to get it out. So attempt number 2 tommorow.

[Matt365]

john i think u scared 97green away with ur sig of him.

[Rally Sport]

Haha pulled a Mr. Lous.. or a Curtis, that'd be better..

[FormulaLT1]

More people know him by Mr.Luos than Curtis and I bet you if I put up a poll and asked people what his name was that Luos would beat Curtis.

[Matt365]

hwo did he come across MR Luos any wayz

[Rally Sport]

If I remember, right he said it was just a name he came up.

[Mr. Luos]

Yup, just some letters that worked together.


The bolt, pic taken with my shitty camera.

[drvngstorm05]

is the bolt alluminum? cuz if its going into an alluminum block and its hardened steel, it makes no sense that it would give... i would figure it would be alluminum except i would think alluminum bolts might not be strong enough... idk... maybe i'm thinking too much
