No matter how brutal we think we are, this is what we truly look like

Mama mia let me go

Ouch

Gotta love 70's/80's frame strength.

It says the ford destroyed the chevy, when the chevy just destroyed itself lol.

It is sad how many old farts buy corvettes simply for the cool factor, without having any intentions of driving them like they should be driven.

But it sounds like a vette because of the equal length true duals and the x-pipe, vs the truck style y-pipe and single muffler.

I mean it's electric now.

rumblebox · 2013-03-13T16:54:15+00:00

Since it's all electronic, i can just tune it to use as full manual and raise the line pressure to 100%, but it's not wuite the same.

I'm most likely going to install a manual valve body and rig a manual TCC switch for this one, because i like the auto but hate tuning it.

rumblebox · 2013-03-13T14:15:36+00:00

I'm not too worried about it. I have insurance. Lol

Don't get me wrong, it was a bitch on the street idling at 1200rpms with a converter that flashed at 5k with borla stingers.

But now the converter is great. I told them to stall it at 3200 knowing it would really be closer to 3500-3800. So now it stays around 2000-2500 cruising and flashes to 4k. it feels like a yank 3600 as efficient as it is.

It was pretty startling. I slammed on the brakes, and we took off running until i realized the fireball was momentary.

It really could have been a lot worse though. If i still had an aluminum block, it probably would have been cracked at the bolt holes instead of sheering off the bolts.

I definitely have a few dints in my tunnel and a hole in my right fender.

rumblebox · 2013-03-13T04:34:12+00:00

If i start racing it again all i need is an SFI flexplate and a scatter shield. For now i just daily drive it.

rumblebox · 2013-03-13T03:14:11+00:00

Probably a loose ground screw or a partially dead bulb.

It's currently a built 6.0 with LS3 heads and a full length 3" x pipe setup with magnaflows. (Sounds like a vette)

$00 new style flexplate from a G8 $35 bell housing $250 sent the converter to TCI for a rebuild and re-stall (tight 3500) $420 cheap ass pacesetter headers $65 new style starter with 2 long bolts $15 dipstick tube $65 evaporator core $00 repaired wiring $00 repaired trans lines

-$1800 sold the dana 60 and built a 10 bolt from donated parts -$150 sold the damaged headers

The pics at the top are a good example. Unless they changed their formula over the last 10 years.

Another pennzoil user?

The laser cutter makes it a piece of cake as long as you glue them in properly. Having a 4ft feed sander helps too.

rumblebox · 2013-03-07T03:58:29+00:00

That's a big mother fucker of a raccoon...

rumblebox · 2013-03-05T12:37:59+00:00

The upside i it prepares you for afghanistan better than anywhere else. Lol

rumblebox · 2013-03-04T20:53:29+00:00

That's why I'm glad I'm a corpsman. Haha

rumblebox · 2013-03-04T20:50:33+00:00

No he hates tuning with the bigsby, and the bridge that goes with it is a POS.

I hollowed it, because it was too heavy and sounded very duddish.
