Well, its been slow but I finally got around to movin my license plate. Looks a ton better, and its still somewhat legal. If it really comes down to it I can still put it back in the factory location easily so its all good.

Before


After


Also got my Patriot heads. A friend bought a long block that suposedly had a snapped cam in it. Well, he never took the time to look, being as he just bought the motor to part it out and make money. Judging by the rest of the parts in the motor, like the relief cut flat tops and FAST 90/90 (which I bought also), it was a pretty nasty setup. I dont have any specs on the heads yet since they dont have any ID numbers on em. According to Patriot, they didnt mark the heads in the past, so I hafta have em spec'd out before I run em. They do have larger valves, and are CNC ported, but Im worried about the valve size. It looks like it might be on the small side for my cam, but thats an easy fix. No pics of em worth puttin up. No point anyways, everyone here knows what a CNC'd port looks like lol. This weekend the cars goin in for another shot at fixin the tranny tune. The d-bag that did it the last 3 times finally quit answerin my calls, so Im goin somewhere else now. Lets hope it all works.

newb unless there a expert which we have fonund that not many people are we highly sugest the factory trans tune and make the recomendation that you turn torque management off. We see many trany failures because of the tune hell our top builder who is no tuner burned his up a week ago messing with the trans tune in his truck. Its a 03 SS with a 6.2 and headers cam and 150 shot went 12.16 @111 and thats is a 6000# truck

Ya, the person who tuned it last turned line pressure up a lil bit and torque managment down a lil bit. This time, Im gettin the stock tune put back on and maybe give line pressures a very little nudge. Are you sayin turn torque management clear off and leave everything else stock?

Lol, Ill try to get some good pics then.

Lol, ya it would be nice, but thats two and a half times what I paid for the car. I think once I get a Vette, Ill be givin Lingenfelter a call.

as we talked about before the trans tuning is why rossler and finishline conver over to vacum modulation so that people wont burn up the trans but its old technogy and the electronics work much better.

tq management will help keep the trans alive as it pulls lots of timing on the shifts. as far as the line pressures go it works oppsite of what you would think more duity cycle equals less pressure and less duity cycle means more pressure as the epc solenid is normaly closed. you wont be able to get max pressure much higher because there is a internal bypass in the pump. and the spring needs changed for it to go much over stock pressures. Also if you go jacking the line pressure up at part throtle shifts and making the trans shif harder in general you will most likely strup the teeth off the sunshell.

LOL on the lingenfelter coment that is one of our trans in there package way over priced and other shops can build a car to make twice the power for less money you are paying for the name and if you want your car to sit outside in there gravel lot for 6mo while they wait to work on it then more power to you. LPE is a very reputiable shop and build good things but the have very very conservitive tunes and take for aver and prices are way high

Exactly. Thats what my problem is now. It shifts nice at WOT, but once I go WOT the line pressure stays jacked way up no matter what my throttle position is. Ive had to shut my car down at stop lights many times because of it. Let me tell you, thatll make you feel like a douche in no time lol.

I dunno what the tard that tuned my car did, and I wont be goin back to him or the company he works for. Purely because of his skill level and customer service. Also, since I dunno what he did the new tuner isnt even gunna screw with his tune. We're startin from scratch.

My question though, was you recomend that I turn torque management off? Was I readin that right?

unless you have a small penis, grey hair, a mid life crisis or a screen name like corvetteguy78, you don't need a corvette. Just work on beefin up a camaro. they look better and just better car all around imo.

aww come on. porsches are for small penis'! The old man stigma is because half the time they're the only ones who can afford them (at least the ones worth having) now you can get a monster C5 if you play your cards right. The screen name... well I've got nothin for that. But as much as I love Camaros Vettes will almost always handle better. I've got a love/have issue with your SS. its a sick ass car but it always reminds me that mine should have been done a long time ago. Im contemplating selling the Si just to fund it! (Any takers)

yes you can turn off torque management but it will drasticalt shorten the life of a stock trans. but will make youe car much faster as it wont be pulling lots of timing at the shifts. If you had a built trans it could take it for a long long time

Lol, after riding in a DD C5 Vette with >500 horse and a healthy shot of nitrous, I started to want one. Then my buddy ditched a '00 SS for a C5, lowered it and threw some C6 ZO6 wheels on it and made me want one even more. Id only buy one if I had the cash to put down just layin around lol. Until then my car does ok.

Ya I finished off all the detail stuff rather quickly, but its far from done. I bought so much shit for it so fast that I need to lay low for a while and get funds togather for my new transmission and stall. By the way, what are some details on yours?

Ok, thats what I thought. I guess I just misread it. I know we already talked about it, but what level 4L60E do you recomend I order from you to run in a car that sees heavy street use with ~3500 stall and ~450 horse? Oh ya, on a side note I was talkin to some one runnin one of your units with a brake. His name is Chris Sterwart, hes runnin a twin turbo Vette with a stock long block into the 9's. Its a red car. Sound fermiliar?

I bought the car when I was 14. slowly worked on it from there. more rapidly once the 305 died off.
Its more old tech meets new. Its a 1991 RS with a 70s era 350 bored thirty over (355) GMPP race heads (cant remember the actual model, I snagged the long block from my dads 63' Nova race car) but they've got 2.02, 1.60 valves, COMP double valve springs, Manley retainers, Crane Energizer Aluminum roller rockers, and have been mildly worked over. Its got about 11.5:1 compression forged pistons, an older Crane cam something in the ballpark of .590 lift. and a whole lotta duration. Thats the older tech with that and a high rise intake and 850 double pumper (minus the roller rockers) it made 525HP. I took all that and threw on a ported and polished Holley Stealth Ram up top. BBK twin 58mm throttle body, Accel 40# injectors, stabbed in a MSD Pro Billet distributo with a blaster coil. Looking to bump that 525 up a bit when tuned on my Accel DFI gen 7.

My uncle built the 700R4 to handle the abuse.

The rear end is an 02' SS Auburn 3.42 piece with boxed lower control arms, an SLP sway bar, Adjustable panhard bar, BMR upper bar, adjustable shortened Jegs torque arm and frame connectors. drilled/slotted rotors, stainless lines. The front end is an AJE racing tubular K member with tubular A arms. still need to grab a front sway bar and a strut tower brace. Eibach sport-lines all around on KYBs. Polyurethane bushings on everything. C5 brakes up front once I get the brackets made.

The interior is black leather out of a 2001 TA. plastics are now black. as is the headliner. carpet and door panels will be tan. Dynamat already layed throughout the inside. Decent stereo. Hurst dual gate shifter in the future.

Its going to get a fiberglass L-88 style hood from VFN Fiberglass. 2001 C5 rims wrapped in Nitto 555s. Havent yet decided on which blue I'm going to paint it. leaning on 2004 Commemorative edition Vette paint scheme, My bikes color, WRX or Si blue. Maybe the blue off a 2008 Fit.

Theres a lot more to throw on here but I figure this is long enough. I've got to get more pics in my gallery to show the work so far. Wish I took time to take pics during the build. everythings there for the most part just gotta have time in Columbus and money for the finishing details/tune.

Congratulations! You just bought yourself a lug nut!

you could get by with the level 4 but i would step up to the level 5 if you are still wanting a brake you will have to step up to a level 6 which has a 300m billet output shaft. As we wont sell a trans with a brake that dosent have a billet output shaft any more. We have so many trans out there not the only ones i rember are the local guys that i meet face to face and they are geting hard to rember also. Just rember with that 3500stall converter you will need a huge cooler as they generate lost of heat and heat is what will kill your trans.

An LS1 is an LS1 is an LS1, I don't see how a Camaro which is heavier is a better all around car than a vette. Personally I love the looks of both Vettes and Maros, but as far as weight and gas, the vette is all around better. Modded the same it'll make the same power, be faster and still get better mileage.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all about the camaro he's got going on, and there is some truth to what you're saying about vettes. But it is an all around better car. Once you get to the realm of 9 second 1/4 mile it doesn't matter anymore though.

I never said you had a small dick. I made an exception to you! see, you're into them because you actually like the car, not just because phil and mary down the street have one, and joe and suzy cruise out in an old school vette every sunday. I'm down with that. I just hate the people that are like "I have more money than brains, and I need somewhere to put it. I'll buy a corvette." those people give a bad name to the car. They're the reason finding a 6spd is so hard. I just like the camaro better. pre 1982. It has a rougher feel to it. Its like driving an old beat up 71 el camino. Just reminds you of good times, you know?

God damn. Sounds like a bad ass car. I like the way those interior swaps look. I was surprised when I first saw one. I like the blue on the C6's personally.

Ya the brake is must lol, so level 6 it is. I knew I needed a cooler, but what kind do you guys recommend?

Im with you on that one. You should have seen the Vette club meet at the dealership when I went to sign the papers on my car. It almost made me throw up.

'didn't really sound like the way you worded your post....but all is good...and yes i would choose a vette over almost any car because i have liked vettes since i was a kid.....but with that said...if i had too choose older muscle to build from teh ground up it would be a 69 Camaro...cause i like old muscle camaro's
