He's not lying, today in Southern Louisiana it hit low 100s across the area, that's almost unheard of.

 

Wow, I would die in that heat. Its hard for me to do anything besides sit in front of a fan when its 77*F here.

 

haah its been reaching 100 everyday with a heat index of about 112. but was today suposed to be dyno day.

 

Yeah, I'm loving this South FL heat.








Not.

 

any updates? do you at least have it back together?

 

Didn't work on it at all yesterday, got back from Houston and had to watch the LSU game, then went straight to sleep. Got up this morning and made a run to the junk yard to get a new IAT connector since I can't find my other one anywhere. Finished routing all the vacuum lines and installing the IAT. Gonna have to trim some of the bolts holding down the S/C that are hitting the front fuel rail blocks.

About to take out the fan to install the 42% UDP. Not gonna redo the IAC jsut yet, gonna just run with no hood to the tuner and do the IAC tomorrow afternoon or saturday.

All that's left that I HAVE to install is the boost gauge, and I may go ahead and hook up the EGT. I have to also make a block off plate for the S/C mounted IAT and a bracket for the coil pack.

Once that's all done, I'm taking it all apart, cleaning everything and puting all the new gaskets in get a belt, fill the coolant and change the oil an it should be ready tonight.

 

Damn man, well good luck with it. Never learned what you had in your engine before, did you go 4.2 or forged internals or anything?

 

fully stock from the valve covers down

 

You plan on doing any of the powerpacks or anything like that from ssm?

 

The NEXT mod is a 4.3 with a stage 3 head package and a little crazy cam, then a t-56, and then twins, it'll be a while until all that gets done
