[Boozshey]

I couldn't afford the bullet for the gun right now... lol

 

[memphisstylee]

damn that sucks, at least you have an excuse for a built engine to push more boost

 

[Boozshey]

Yup that's true for sure!!!

 

[EagleStroker]

Then you can blow out your tranny that picture makes me want to tear up a little...

 

[RetroGT2006]

Yup that's true for sure!!!

Well on the positive Bruce, the headlight mod looks amazing! =) I guess this means on the next club meets you won't be in this thing for a while.. Dang it, still haven't seen it in person. I was too lazy to drive out while you were doing the build.

 

[Boozshey]

Hell yeah, I am going to tow this bitch to the meet with my GEO Metro... haha

You should swing by when I start the Second build...

 

[1BADHRSE]

ugghhhhh man... Not you Now....



My cars creeping to 11-12 pounds by 3500.... I couldnt get dynoed on wednesday cause I had to move my BOV and MAF....

I can just see a motor in my near near future...

After speaking with Brenspeed yesterday, they were saying that even the 3.2 pulley I was running was asking for trouble. They have two motor give at 3.4 but he said a 3.2 is just a matter of time and more often then not he has seen the motor give. But at the same time lots of people have run a 3.2 with success for a very long time. I'm just one with bad luck. I always have had shit for luck so I should have known.

 

[SirKnightTG]

So did you order a shortblock from them?

 

[Boozshey]

If I can get a break from work today long enough to I will. If not I will on Monday unless they are open tomorrow.

I know exactly what you mean. Same thing happened to me, and I got the same speech.

So sorry to see it go like that.

So I think JimIII at JDM nailed it on the head. It looks like a clogged cat... Check this shit out!!!

 

[cruisin]

Ouch, I guess you want to stay smog legal. What kind of cats were they?

 

[Boozshey]

Kooks Highflow CATS!!!

 

[G.T]

damn that looks like melted up wire conduit!
what do you reckon fucked the cats up?

 

[cruisin]

Kooks Highflow CATS!!!

Fuck, I was days away from pulling the trigger on a set of those too, to quiet my set up down for the summer. 3" no cats is damn loud

 

[Boozshey]

I have no idea what did it... I am not great when it comes to that kinda stuff. So I will ask Kooks on Monday

 

[Rasmus]

That's a coincidence. My local shop just had a GT500 bust a block because one Kooks high flow cat clogged up. Another GT also with Kooks high flow cats also had a problem where the cats were to blame, although the shortblock luckily remained intact.

That's fucked up. How many miles on those cats? What causes a cat to clog? After installing the Kooks cat'ed X-Pipe, I's seriously thinking of going to the OR version. It is possible to just gut the cats? And how would one go about it? This isn't the first I've seen on a FI stang, and I don't want mine to be the next.

Bought them used, but the other owner only had 1000 miles on them...
