1/4 mile time slip should be the next mod ..

 

[390STEVE]

1/4

Just bough car. going to Track June 21 Wed. night race. will post numbers then.

 

[Dabigguy]

Sweet combo !!!!!! Looks like you are well on your way. Maybe a Direct Scan?

Anyone wanna chime in to guess how quick it will go? I'll say 11.92

Good luck !!!!

 

[390STEVE]

??

What is a direct scan? is it a tuning tool?

 

[Gary Wells]

Hopefully, you forgot to list a hotwire kit for the Walbro.

 

[390STEVE]

yes

do have hotwire and walbro pump

 

[turbo nasty]

What chip??

 

[390STEVE]

chip is

The chip is a Joe Lubrant from PTE, Precision Turbo and Engine. Timing is set at a modest 20

 

[Quick6'n'-K.C.]

Get some more timing and boost to it :biggrin:

If the car has the original valve springs, i would put new ones in if the car doesnt pull on the top end.

[390STEVE]

Valve Springs

Lt1 Springs And New Timing Chain

Keep Them Coming Thanks

 

[Dabigguy]

Yes, the Direct Scan is a tuning aid that gives you a little more data and the ability to replay your runs in several playback formats. You already have a scan tool, but the Direct Scan will allow you to replay and share data with others.

Just run what you have and enjoy !!!!! Maybe add a knock gauge like the one from Caspers.

Almost the same Combo

My car just about has the same combo. with 140,000mi My dyno numbers are below. Cam & Heads are out of the question. The motor has never been opened.

 

[Not Avg 6]

Passenger side airbag.

 

[GNguy]

If your installing the valve springs yourself, be carefull I know a bunch of people that have wiped a lobe on there cam from messing up the valve spring install......just letting you know.

 

[3.8vsix]

Just wandering how can you mess up on valve spring install. Maybe if you install the wrong springs?

 

[390STEVE]

Valve Springs

Thanks for the concern on valve springs but they are aready done, so is the timing chain.

I was told by previous owner of car I should put on a pt54 turbo

I sure Frank new what he is talking about, but will this work with current combo? or would I be beter off leaving turbo alone and doing something else.

THANKS

STEVE

 

[GNguy]

Well, go with a BB61 or 66, you wont regret it.

 

[TurboTnZ06]

How fast you wanna go? Ported heads and more cam will make 10's easier

 

[390STEVE]

How Fast

how fast?? very good question. I would love 10's but if I do that what can I expect for problems with lower end of engine? Also would I be better off install a bigger turbo or going the head cam route?

turbo cost $500-$1000

ported heads and cam cost??

Thanks Steve
