ill post more pics tonight

 

Dam Jeff... s h i t is looking good bro! tell me again what clutch your going to be using...lmao

 

Wow, great work 318. When do you plan to have it completely done?

 

Increasing the redline? Any more pics of the head, specifically the valve train?

 

Looking good. Congrats Jeff.

 

Jeff has our AEM and valve train w/ valves. I would expect no less than 7300 RPMS from him.

 

of course increasing the redline!
motor will be in this weekend and then trailoring to tony for him to finsih the fab work and tune it. So a WEEK!

 

Anyone know how much power the tC that ran 10.5 was putting down?


What is your overall objective with this car Jeff?

 

^ +1

really good question.... in fact while youre answering what you are doing with your car.... please answer what am I doing with MY car

 

I think it was around 550-600whp

 

i dont mean to threadjack BUT

paul, i read earlier in this thread (maybe another) that someone said anything more than 400 and the car cant really be enjoyed... in your opinion whats the line between strictly race car and good, fun street car that tears up the track (speaking strictly in hp)

AND do you think that 318 has crossed that line?

 

In all honesty and IMHO, 350whp is a GREAT street car, and over that is just crazy on the streets. I like to say 400whp + is a track only car........

 

Personally, I am only seeking 450-500whp myself. I will leave the 500+ numbers for my RWD car.

 

I'm thinking about the same numbers for me. 500 might even be too much to be drivable imo.

 

... yea because i was on the phone with Dezod the other day trying to get my situation figured out and i feel like 400 is about where i want to be...

im actually having my car diagnosed and fixed by a local tuner all next week. but if they suggest building the motor i wanted an idea of whats a good goal to shoot for without making the car undriveable. so i have been thinking parts lately... ive been on dezod.com like its my HOMEPAGE over the past week lol (by the way +1 for dezod, theyre great people) and wanted a realistic number to shoot for.

IMO 500 is crazy. 400 is crazy. 300 in a tc is crazy. although everyone on this thread is 300+ including myself

 

Let me clarify...........unless it's stock production like this....Example: C6 Z06

 

I want 10's but we shall see how that goes. Im only tuning for 400whp on pump gas everything else will be for track use or if anyone wants to talk smack on the street ;)

 

you guys are great - you have bigger coconuts then i do (ha) - I cant wait to see the build completed. Can you spin through 3rd with 350whp in the tc (with the lsd)?

 

Enrique9876:
So are you saying you don't like driving your car at 300?
I'm at 252 and I just want MORE!

I'm shooting for 300 street and 350 track until I build.
Just bottom end for me (pistons, rod, bearings) and then 350 street and 400-450 track.

Nothing like what Jeff is doing. that thing is a BEAST!
And it's so CLEAN to! I need a new dump tube!

 

I gotta thank everyone again though thats helped me out in the build....esp DEZOD, thanks again paul, thanks t1, thanks todd, and thanks horizon

Over the past few months I have had alot of help getting the ____ to where it is now
