Default Re: Idiot Boy needs input from intelligent car guy

Hold on a second there New. We will race if I put the SC back on....where the heck were you...wait another second, aren't you in Norway? OK, let's meet up half way...NYC.

If I'm comfortable that the 75 is a done deal I'm leaning that way. But after talking to Mike today I kind of want them to put the finishing touches on the car and see if my attitude toward it changes. He thinks a different intake, TB and tune might get us close to 675 RWHP.

BTW - I'm really getting confused!!

Mike knows his stuff on the LS1s. You'll like that Dick Harrel car. 475 hp and a hard hitting converter will make you He did a h/c package to my friends 01 WS6 a while back, and the car had a 3.73 gear and a 3800 stall and all I can say is I am going to let his shop put a cam and a stall in my SS when I save up the funds to get it done.

Mike and Ron have given me and my LSx engines reason to live! And they are less than 5 miles from my house. Going to see them right now and talk about the options. BTW - they will have their new dyno installed Mon. and Tues.

Belair my friend, you have no idea how great it is to live 5 min. from a knowledgeable speed shop. Hell, it beats having a well endowed female exhibitionist neighbor. That's my next fantasy!

The great 1,000HP adventure will come to an end. Ron and Mike will have the car back to as-was condition within a week and sold within a week or two. Oh well. It had potential but was not to be.

Might just pull the solid lifter roller and put this engine in the 02 Z06. 650 to the rear wheels should take care of any international match race needs! (You listening New?)

You are confusing me. You are saying you are selling the Walden modified ZL1 with the big engine in it ?

I think the title to this thread is profound

No, I think he is returning the ZL-1 to stock and selling it. Then considering putting the Walden engine in the '02 Z06.
Hey, it's only money.
