    What would you do H/C/I or Vortech.

    I have to question a couple of things I am reading here. First on power, a Vortech kit will make about 50% over stock. So from 180 rwhp (assuming we are talking about a stick - less for an auto), we add 90hp, bringing the total to about 270 rwhp. And that matches up with what many report here...

    Blown head gasket - I think. Questions inside

    Green 94: Thanks for the follow up. I got it on the road again. The shop pulled the lower intake and found a failed gasket. Passenger side was blown, and driver's side was getting ready to go. They installed new with sealer this time.

    DISTRIBUTOR POSITION

    I'll second (third or fourth - or wherever we are) on the "buy a new balancer" suggestion. If you're right that it's off at TDC, then don't mess around. Get a new balancer. Based on the age of our cars, many of us (me included) have experienced a failed balancer. And if you are lucky, you...

    UNTIMEABLE TIMING

    That's exactly what I was thinking. BTW, running without the spout just doesnt sound right to me. Maybe the previous owner was also running with some advance at the timing chain. I'm kinda wondering how you know that your timing mark is off. I mean, turning the dizzy should allow you to...

    No, but it was this time.

    Blown head gasket - I think. Questions inside

    So it turns out it was a blown lower intake gasket. I never woulda thought that much coolant could blow outa there that fast. Both sides were deformed, but the passenger side was blown out in one spot. Any thoughts on how that might have happened? Improper torque on the lower intake?

    How good is the stock catback? MAC LT w/ o/r x-pipe owners enter!!!

    I second the full cat back. If you are gunning for 350 at the wheels, you will want a full aftermarket exhaust. Stock will be a bit of a bottleneck otherwise. Plus, with the coin you would need to spend to get to 350 rwhp, a cat back will be a negligible expense.

    Probably the sickest street legal car ever

    Nope, didn't notice that Saleen. Didn't notice the Viper, nor the Lambo neither. My guess is they sell really expensive cars. Either that or shoot rap videos and bang lots of hot chicks.

    finished the t-5 swap and...

    Don't know about a swap like yours, but a stock stick with an aftermarket shifter can be quite noisy. That's why I like my MGW shifter. It's actually quieter than stock. You could try a rubber isolator on your Steeda shifter (I think that's whay you had in sig). And make sure you put a good...

    My LS1 Notch Project (DUW)

    Awesome project. Thx for sharing. Hey, I've always wondereed. When you are doing a radical project like that, does the shifter just happen to line up with the stock position. Or did you need to cut the floor differently. Interior pics?

    Get groceries, of course. Possibly pick up the dry cleaning too.

    I don't think you mentioned if you have a stick or auto. 3.73 with stick, 4.10 with auto.

    Probably the sickest street legal car ever

    Holy crap Aaron, that is a wicked sig! WTF was that guy doing burning up the tires and tearing down a neighborhood road?? In a modified $150k car!!!! That was beyond lame. Then passing a car on a divided highway at nearly triple the other car's speed. Death wish. Any bets on how soon...

    Blown head gasket - I think. Questions inside

    Thanks for the help guys. I think I don't really need the pump to see a stream, cause it just starts pouring out when I fill the radiator back up - without any pressure. To me that suggests a pretty big gap, and low enough to drain a filled coolant system. But high enough that I see a...
