    Can you lower Sportline Springs? YEP!

    Lower than K's???? They are called coilovers. As for cutting an integral part of the suspension...are you nucking futs????? You do realize the amount of engineering and r&d that goes into every aspect of a spring. Even the small amount you removed COULD be disastrous. I'm sorry but there...

    Subframe Connectors Needed? 11+

    I only have a few. The sub frames are kind of hard to get pics of. Car is on FRPP K-Springs but here's everything I've got: Custom Gauge Pod: Blower: High Mounted FMIC: Strut Tower Brace: X-Brace: Sub-Frame Connector: Again, I apologize for the lack of overall view of the sub...

    Subframe Connectors Needed? 11+

    I made my own. Nice little addition for less than $50 in material. Same with my x-brace, strut tower bar, and blower bracket. I think between all 4 things I may have $150 in material. Now that's bang for your buck.

    Installing a paxton novi 2200.

    I'm not sure about the 2200, but the 1500 has a max impeller speed of 55000, and so does the 2000. So...with those 2 being at that point and cross referencing over to the v-3 si blower from vortech being at 52000. I know not the same as a 2200 but it gives us a reference point. With the stock...

    anyone taken off the timing chains or replace oil pump?

    The service manual doesn't say anything about removing the timing chain. That doesn't mean you don't have to, but according to this it's a fairly straight forward procedure. Oil Pump Replacement

    Installing a paxton novi 2200.

    Since when is a Chevy an import?????????? Planning on spinning it to about 50000 impeller speed. I've still got more digging to do to find some more data about the blower before I go to that point. Paxton lists the standard 1500 at 55000 max speed. I don't know if the self lubricated...

    Installing a paxton novi 2200.

    Yup 488.86whp 4 cylinder. I'm afraid to post the vid...the 2200 police might come for me... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNFVgjYUBTI&feature=share&list=UU-JwyHVP8-D2rj2L3PgI0Ag That's precisely what I plan on doing. By pulleying the blower down you increase the efficiency along with...

    Installing a paxton novi 2200.

    The amount of time that went into measurements and verifying the angle of the blower along with making a tensioner. The motor actually sits at about a 2* angle and threw a degree of difficulty in that I didn't anticipate. Cool thing about the bracket and the "lil" 1500 I've got...a 2200 would...

    Installing a paxton novi 2200.

    Um...no. Why would you ask? If you're referring to how I calculated my ESTIMATED et, that's how I do everything. Everything is calculated. I want to know what to expect or at least have a goal to shoot for. If 675whp and 3400lbs with driver will yield a 1/4 et of 9.8 @ 136mph then that's...

    Installing a paxton novi 2200.

    Build threads...haven't had one of those in 4 years...ever since my 500whp cavalier. Guess I'm not "cool" enough for the 2200 crowd. ;) If I had taken pics of the kit the entire way I would. Thing is I didn't, and now I'm a tune away from it being done for now. Eventually it will be...

    Installing a paxton novi 2200.

    So I decided to build my own kit around a 1500 SL. Got a great deal on it and the vette guys are running these things up to about 800whp or so. On with the pics She has a 3.6" pulley. I'm waiting on my BAP that will be here tomorrow, then the tuning process begins.

    the cause of #8

    Had a lengthy conversation with Nate at BBR today. Don't use colder plugs unless tuned for them. Mine turned white after only 30 miles of driving...NOT GOOD! This things are super sensitive to literally EVERYTHING. Nothing is a bolt on without a tune if it's affecting airflow, get your tune...

    the cause of #8

    I've never seen this on ANY motor. LS1, LS2, LS6, LS7. Those are the motors I've got the most experience with...none of them have had the "What the fuck?" problem like this #8 cylinder thing. Whether it's a handful of people or not...it's still a problem that makes you scratch your head and...
