I would do MAF, as mentioned above for tuning reasons and I would say better response.

What HG's are you going with?

 

Back from the dead....lol

 

Actually he should step in here and do an update it is getting a nice big alum 2 in 1 out intercooler, a C4, less gear and some other stuff. It went 119 MPH blowing I/C hoses off at round 1000' with the crummy Saab I/C and home hardware plastic plumbing section intercooler piping.

I think a full clean pass will be decent now.:biggrin:

 

AND that was on some tall pure radials to put on a slightly wet track.

Once I get it all running and driving again I'll update with all the new mods...I MIGHT go ABS on the inlets to save some cash, but I got a connection with 3'' aluminum piping.

I lost all my pictures of my cars, powder coating, from the build etc.
If any saved the pictures, or took pictures on the powder coating please host them and PM me please and thanks!!!

 

I ported his E7s so he now has a reason to be running the Tmoss lower and Cartech upper.... it should pick up quite a bit at 13 -14 psi over the stock heads.

 

Hey guys glad to see you back cruising the site. Are you still in Leamington/Kingsville? Cheers Paul.

 

I grew up in Kingsville but live in Windsor now, Schlodes is still from Leamington though.

 

Hi Paul,

Yes still in Leamington, but not for much longer.... My mom has been at the casino Windsor since it opened in the early 1990s and they started in the art gallery... ever since the smoking thing and the dollar making a comeback [its the smoking thing] the place isn't busy and Ceasers took over and has been handing long timers walking papers and severance packages... as well as making a ton of full time part time.. which IMO is kinda dirty... my moms severance package would be a BIG so she is hoping to get let go... once that happens we are 100% westward bound... and will likely land about 50-60 KM outside Calgary... so I will def look you up.

 

Absolutely. Sounds like Strathmore to the east High River to the south Airdrie/Crossfield to the north nothing really to the west

 

k...long time, no update. Sorry for those who wanted to see pics of the build but the site I was using to host suddenly went under and a hard drive failure caused me to lose all the pics that I had. Anyway, may as well start fresh....

Well, after a long time of doing nothing she's finally coming around.

It wasn't that long ago that I yanked this...
because of a suspected blown head gasket. Turns out I was just getting near a 1/2 inch of head lift and all my head bolts had backed off. The new ARP studs should help fix that.

While it was out I painted the block and had the heads ported...I also powder coated some valve covers for it....btw, I painted it flat black so people don't see those unsightly inevitable oil leaks lol



Now I have to finish cleaning and painting in here...
and that's after a few good hours of cleaning already lol

Now do you guys think I should powder coat my cartech upper like I did my valve covers?
