BoostedGt480's Build Thread

[BoostedGT480]

So, what LCAs are you going to use ? LOL

most likely BMR's tubular bars with the double rod ends...might do one rod/one poly...not sure

 

[BoostedGT480]

Lets guess! I bet it will do 734whp

That would be awesome! I did some calculations and with my new cams, 43ci more, 7-10psi more, etc etc and it looks like I should be around 700-750 on pump...maybe? Also, I'm planning on running c16 for a race tune and 93 for street

 

[yur2slo]

you planning on running more boost with the race tune?

 

[BoostedGT480]

nope...because I dont want to keep changing pullies and belts...will run the same pulley

 

[yur2slo]

bad ass build man. can wait to see the numbers

Run the double adjustable BMR units with solid ends---its going to transmit road noise but at 700+RWHP I don't think you have a choice in the matter.

yea..everything else I have is solid rod ends so I dont think it will matter..I have the solid rod end UCA, panhard bar, upper panhard bar support, anti roll bar

Subscribing.....hope you meet your power goals

Cant wait until Saturday. I hope we see over 700 with it on the dyno and everything holds up.

let me know what happens with the alternator?

Going for 750...I think Im going to take c16 with me...Where does Matt get his? I may take about 1-2 gallons

He buys it by the 5 gallon can. The gas station that sells it is in Wetumpka. There is also a gas station that sales race gas in Clanton in the 5 gallon can. It is right off the interstate on the way up.

Awesome..Do you know the price? Im thinking of doing a streetable 93 tune with low timing and then a race tune (same psi) with the c16 for the most hp...I think this will be my best option to keep the life of the motor at its max

It is pretty expensive, around $60-80 if I remeber right.

I agree that the c16 is a good option. Will give you a good high HP number and keep the engine safe from the boost! Will make good power with it.

Will be nothing to switch it out. Can unhook one of the lines off the rails and just pump the tank dry with the pumps in the tank.

as long as it doesnt get all over my new paint....my lines are pretty short unlike yours. It would make a mess doing it that way. May just run it very low on fuel, add c16 and run it..then put some more c16 in there.

Just wondering if your build already exceeded 15k worth of parts....

 

[bmaxwell]

^ Pretty sure that's a no brainer lol

 

[BoostedGT480]

Just wondering if your build already exceeded 15k worth of parts....

i would say noooyeees


Motor/heads/cams/timing components was around 10k itself
then i upgraded the fuel system, cooling system, suspension, got custom parts painted, etc etc so I do believe I have exceeded that mark

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Lol I'm sure you exceeded that mark.... Gotta pay to play. Can't wait to see the numbers.

 

[BMR Tech]

Looking good bud!

Can't catch a break!!!

Had my alternator seize up on me and blew the filter in half. So today, I fixed the alternator problem by putting in a new PA 130A alt and I put a new filter on and changed the oil. Go to crank it to take it out for a ride and test it and what do you know, I see smoke and a slight burning smell. I turn the car off and hit the emergency shut off switch on the battery and start looking around. I see a wiring harness touching the headers, but it barely got the loom. So I ziptied it out of the way and while I was down there, I noticed the power wire going to the starter was loose. I get a wrench and go to tighten it. I wasnt even putting much tq on it, and then snap. The stud and part of the starter falls off. So now I have a hole in my starter.....damn
