I'm lifted with lift keys and add-a-leafs. It was transferring weight really bad. I installed some suspension limiting straps on the front and it made a huge difference. got a 2.1 60' on my 32.5" tires with the stock stall. And my other tires sucked for traction. I also had them at 35# because I was in Phoenix and had to drive back to Tucson and had no way to air them back up. They also don't give you much room to drive around the water box so one side sometimes gets wet which I'm sure doesn't help.

 

So if Chris ships out my converter on Wed. It should be here Fri maybe Sat. Anyone doing anything this weekend? I have Saturday, Sunday and Monday off. It two or three of us tackle it, maybe we can have it finished up in a day. Would I be able to drive it back to my place with the new converter with the current tune?

 

Just got the email form Chris @ circle-d, my new converter will be here Friday afternoon. Who's down to get dirty Saturday?

 

I know it is kinda short notice but I'm not sure when I'll have another chance to get this thing in. I cant just take a few days off on a whim. I have to put in my days about 1-2 months in advance.

 

i work all till 6pm saterday. sunday im free i belive. ill have to double check, and i think i work monday. ill get back with you when i know for sure.

 

well the shop on base is closed on Sunday and Monday. so If no one else can help we would have to find somewhere else to do it. I have some tools and an air compressor, but my driveway is sloped so it wouldn't be the best place to do it.

 

When are we going to swap in the cam? That's what I want to know

 

my place would suck! nothing but a dirt to work on. it sucks swapping a tranny laying on dirt, ask me how i know. jakes buddy has a place, but youd have to ask jake and his buddy. and i wanna know when your doing the cam aswell.

 

will I have a list of things that Im going to put in with the cam/heads over on thunderracing. stuff like a new timing chain, balancer bolt, head studs, ls7 lifters, hardened pushrods and all new gaskets. also debating on getting the studs for the Harland Sharp adjustable rockers, of get some stock rockers with the trunion upgrade.
so hopefully soon.

 

Why would you do all that?

Throw the cam in and dont change a thing, aside from all new gaskets and factory balancer bolt, and hardened pushrods, of course.
