cant argee more sometimes i wish i had a f-body but then when i put headers on my buddys 99 z28 i was glad it wasnt my car i never bled so much in my life my knuckles still hurt

 

my buddy had a shop do his long tubes, but i helped with his intake swap, the spikes under the weather stripping killed my knuckles

 

is it running yet is it running yet is it running yet?!?!




nice work, like to see your taking a little more time on it tho, never good to burn yourself out on it or you'll just start throwing random **** together haha

 

Didn't get anything done on it today, but I'm under a little bit of pressure to get it finished and running. I need to have it back in one piece by the 5th of september at the latest. I spent most of the day running around dealing with drug tests and work crap and when I got home I helped Lee (sictruk) disable his O2's, adjust his shift pressures and played with his PE tables in his tune. Not confident enough with HPtuners yet to actually screw with his VE tables so I'll leave that up to the pro's!

I did buy an engine dip stick (which I've been missing) and got a work out today picking up a 14bolt rear-end that 1FastBrick was selling. ******* are heavier than they look!


Anyways, I need to find someone in LA that uses EFILive to download a tune in my truck. From what I understand it's rather complicated to re-tune a PCM that's set-up for a cable driven TB and make it work using DBW with HPTuners but it's a snap using EFILive so a friend is gonna write me a tune using EFILive and all I have to do is flash it into the truck then I can crank it over. He's gonna keep the OS the same so I can read and license my tune using HPT. This is all new to me but, tomorrow evening I should hopefully have both dip sticks in and some vent lines run.

 

Well??? Get that dipstick in yet???

 

I heard he got mad at it and took it to a shop to get the dipstick installed.

 

really i hope not

 

Still working on it!! Actually got it up and in place in like 5-7 minutes, I went through the wheel well instead of dropping it in from above or from below. So I was pretty stoked about that, however I'm having trouble getting the dip stick tip at the right angle to slide it into the hole in the tranny. Right now it's about 10 degree's too shallow of an angle so I'm trying to figure out how to get it in...work in progress.

Ummmm... NO!!
The last shop that put a dipstick in my truck ended up bending the crap out of it and placed it in the wrong place because they gave up doing it the right way.

 

beat it to fit, paint it to match.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but are the dipstick tubes different between the 60e and the 80e? I think I might have an 60e tube...
