Winter mods...what have you done?

[Nick McCardle]

Let's hear what everyone has done this winter. My car's been through quite a lot since January, hoping to be complete within the week. Will post details a little later after some more people chime in.

Champion P&P heads, P&P intake, Comp Cams 206/206 roller cam kit, fresh engine rebuild from A&A Automotive, Pro Torque 3000 stall 10" LU, Powerlogger, LC-1 and Translator Pro. The T- Pro is the only thing I haven't installed yet. I went a lil crazy this winter. Last year was a good pay year.

I'm waiting for the weather to get a little warmer to start working. I have a few things in the works to be done before the Buick race at Norwalk.:biggrin:

Updated the hotair with the 87 ing/coil, 42.5's and a TT chip. Oh yeah I installed an electric fan.

 

[Nick McCardle]

Went from a PT54 to a GT70 P Trim, 50lb to 79lb injectors, stock dutt neck IC to TR Custom Parts FMIC, stock radiator to TR Custom Parts aluminum radiator, 3" intake to 4" with internal MAF and MAFT, got a Razor's alcohol kit, added air bags, did some at-home porting on the TB, plenum, and intake, added RJC Power Plate and will be using their bullet-proof head gasket kit, stock cam to a 210/215 roller kit, heads got some port work, valve job, and some slightly larger Manley valves from a local race engine shop, went from a Vigilante Single Disc 3200 to a Pat's 3500 converter, and got basically a street/strip rebuild on the trans.

Can't wait to see how it performs once I get it all together and tuned.
