you going to have a badass set-up...!!! I was showing one of my friend at work a video when you were running 14's and he couldnt believe a H2 ran that time... I told him before you blew your motor you were in the 13's... he was like

good luck on your new setup and keep us updated...

 

I think it'll be a pretty strong setup once I get the turbo going. Should be reliable as well because I'm not looking to challenge any of the rediculous horsepower guys (Parish and BMDMAX). I just want around 550 rwhp or so.

 

What kinda turbo setup did you end up going with?

 

It will be a new Turbo Technology Inc kit. They make kits for the f-bodies already. The H2 will be a new kit prototype. Expecting it to be a T-76 and results similar to their street kit for the Camaro's/Firebirds.

There's a street kit up here that has run deep 10's on a full weight Camaro. It's a pretty nice set up.

 

I received my new ARP Head Studs tonight. I was very surprised that the UPS guy delivered so late. Must be the holidays keeping them out late.

I was originally shipped the second design ARPs bolts. The 2nd design only has the mid length bolts and short bolts that the later blocks can accept. I have an early 6.0 block for my 402, so I needed the proper 1st design ARP's that have 3 different lengths on the bolts. The reason being that the early blocks are only threaded deep, whereas the newer 6.0's are threaded up closer to the deck surface. It was something I didn't consider as a pontential delay.

I was able to put my studs in, drop the Cometic gaskets on, and torque down my AFR 225's tonight. That was a good feeling. After that was done I was able to mock up the rockers and check them for length. It looks like the stock 7.4's will be fine. Good thing, too. I ordered some new Comp Cams .080 wall pushrods last night to get ahead of the game.

Now I'm just waiting on a crank bolt (that I forgot to order earlier), and the pushrods to wrap things up. The pushrods get here tomorrow and the bolt should be friday. If all goes to plan then it will be a good christmas and I'll be driving the H2 again on Monday. It'll be interesting to see how it feels with a lot more cubes and the same old exhaust manifolds

 

So you going to drive it NA for a while?

 

Not any longer than I have to. I have a definite turbo cam in this one. As soon as I get it running I'll schedule a time to let the shop have a good hard look at the platform. Then, in about a month, they will begin fabrication and install of the new kit.

 

Great Cory!

Jim did not think they were coming today!

Lets hear it run!

I will be available on the phone all weekend while I am away

 

very nice setup indeed...cant wait to see how it runs with the turbo.....
