Damn you gotta love that 100hp gain in the midrange. That's gonna hit good!
Looks like it might have made a few more HP if he had pulled it a bit higher with the turbos..
Either way, youre gonna have a blast with it..
Time for some more street vids...

According to my butt dyno on the low boost setting the car feels faster. I'm really enjoying the car, cutouts open the car is insane, closed I have to keep looking at my tach as I think it stalls lol

on low boost setting, 2nd to 3rd gear.... remember i have the zr1 tr6060 gearing, 342 and the 345's that i think are 27.5" tall... also shifting early since I'm still getting used to the setup... shifting at about 6k redline is 6800

Well sadly I think my "noisy" lifter decided to take out my motor... So car is down until I come up with a solution... There is magnetic metal all thruout the motor... Still runs fine and had good oil pressure so maybe I can get away with a "simple" rebuild instead of all new parts again... Time will tell, trying to figure out if I want to take on te task of pulling motor or have a shop do it but that's big $$$ that I'm sick of spending so I may just do it myself and pull the motor from the top which ive heard of people doing?

Suck to hear. Big metal or small metal? IE: if it's pieces of lifter it probably didn't go through the bearings. May be able to get away with just pulling the heads (and probably cam).

Big and small. To do it right I think I'll have to pull motor to clean and inspect, same with turbos and all oil lines

Pulling the engine out the top isn't that bad. You can leave the drivetrain in also and just drop down the subframe till the damper clears the rack when coming forward. I would pull the heads first as it makes getting the bellhousing bolts easy anyway. That way you can look the lifters and cam some before removing everything. Sucks man, but at least tis the season for it to happen. Let us know what the parts were, etc.

yea, I'm just sick of dumping money into the car. it sucks everything is worthless at this point so there is no point in parting the car out.... otherwise i would and move on to bigger and better things but at this point I'm kind of stuck and pretty have to fix what i have
