Default Another MESV project done!!!!

Today was a good day in the MESV Man Cave! Moosee, Me, Johncbourg, Andy M., FLATOUT, Z06joe & Barmstrong235 all gathered today to continue work on Z06joe's Heads & Cam install. The heads are PRC stage 2.5 heads with PRC double spring kit. The cam is a 230-228-.592-.571 on a 112 MTI x1 cam. We're waiting on the tune to install the 42 lb injectors. The tune will be at the end of this week hopefully. Stay tuned for numbers! We had a good time & even had a few out of town visitors from the forum. It took us about a week total & that was with working on it off & on throughout. Here are some pics...

Going up!!!

we had a few set backs.. we really started monday after work cracking on it.. 16-20 hours total.. could have had it running friday night if it wasnt for somethings out of our control.

joeys car is one of the cleanest cars I've ever worked on.. Honestly it makes you very, very nervous. but I think its even cleaner now then before we started..

Car runs great, and will spin the stock tires with little effort.. I was just crusing around the block and 2/3 throttle in 2nd and it was spinning.
