sweet, lemme know what you come up with. perhaps if we both order one it will be cheaper lol

any update?

jackal2000 · 10-13-2006, 10:48 PM

actually yes. i got the pistons in today at 330pm and rushed them over to the shop. they are dropping off the necessary parts at the machine shop on monday. they said it might take a week and half to two weeks to put it all back together so im planning on having the car back on the 27th.

high compression FTW

jackal2000 · 10-20-2006, 04:00 PM

UPDATE

everything is still at the machine shop to my knowledge. im still hoping to have the car back by the end of next week though.....

BlackJack · 10-20-2006, 05:25 PM

heh, better go check, or you might have another Aftermath incident.

jackal2000 · 10-20-2006, 05:46 PM

LOL i was at the speed shop just yesterday and saw my car chillin out behind the shop. not too worried in the theft department. the motor on the other hand....when they start putting it back together the guy said he would call me cause i want to take more pics.

10-21-2006, 03:33 PM

Well when I guess should check this shop out since I am in the area,...kinda. Whats the name and address

www.bandtmotorsports.com

its right off 395 pretty much....

jackal2000 · 10-26-2006, 07:53 PM

nother update. one of the guys at the shop called me at 6ish and said that everything is on schedule and going well EXCEPT they asked my permission to cut and lengthen the crossover pipe on the headers cause it was like an inch short. of course i said yes (what other option is there?). might have the car back by tomorrow night.....

That is awesome dude, everything looks good, Id definitely clean and polish up those runners tho.

jackal2000 · 10-27-2006, 10:21 PM

another update hah

i talked to one the mech's around 845pm and he said they got the car running today but still have to some small things to it. i.e crank case relearn and check for leaks. so monday is the day! he did tell me that everyone at the shop was shocked at how "healthy" the cam sounded

im off work monday so this is going to work out great, i can start the tuning process. at this point, im leaning towards having them tune it for me and i can tweak it down the road.

alerored04 · 10-27-2006, 10:42 PM

make sure to post dyno sheets, and videos or at least sound clips when you are done. I am soo jealous right now, i hate you. I just discovered that my limg is leaking again today so maybe ill do a little internal work while im down there, but alas no cam since im going boost eventually, maybe some valves etc. Im sure you are excited as hell for this to be finished, i know i would be tweaking out if it were my car.

jackal2000 · 10-27-2006, 10:46 PM

yea i felt giggly earlier like a little school girl. LMAO

my digi cam doesnt have sound and my wife's does but her's is screwy so the vid might be whack. sound > vid though in this case so i'll see what i can do.

alerored04 · 10-27-2006, 11:50 PM

cool thanks, i saw the milzy sponsered ga's over on gagt, they sounded soooo orgasmic. Im even excited to see #'s off it so i cant imagin how excited you are.

jackal2000 · 10-30-2006, 06:03 PM

i just picked up my car. it sounds freakin badass. it doesnt like to idle right now which i blame on the pcm learning the fuel trims plus its still set at the stock idle rpm which im about to change via powrtuner.

crazyalero · 10-30-2006, 06:27 PM

so is it any faster with the heads and cam?

BlackJack · 10-30-2006, 06:57 PM

hahaha, he just got it back, let him get it broke in first before we start encouraging him to destroy it....

jackal2000 · 10-30-2006, 08:24 PM

yea definitely no WOT runs yet lol hell i barely took it over 3k rpms so far. i am having a butt load of misfires though and i have no idea why.

BlackJack · 10-30-2006, 08:28 PM

first, is it "misfires" or KR readings?

There are a couple of things that could be wrong. One, your fueling could be too rich or too lean, and your plugs may be too hot. If you're running higher compression pistons, then you should step down to colder plugs.

Also, your fuel and timing maps will change drastically with a few internal mods, but if you've had alot of shit done with performance replacements, then you're probably going to have to retune the whole thing.
