hi guys.
bought my car about 12 months ago, was already twin turbo'd. have had a fair few issues with it, replace a lot of items on it.
then i did a couple skids at my burnout comp and 2 rods let go, half of one came through side of block. destroyed basically everything.
SO...
I have been talking to the guys from texas-speed in the US and they are going to help me out with a 408ci long motor. not 100% decide on all the components just yet, but Gary has been so helpful so far.
What I do know so far though is:
Callies Compstar Crank
Callies Compstar H beam rods
Diamond 4.03" -2cc flat top pistons with plasma moly ring set
ARP main stud kit
PRC stage 3 LS6 64cc heads
ARP 12-pt head stud kit
and GM L92/LS3 1.7:1 Rocker arm set with bolts and pedestals.
yet to chose cam, and a few other bits and pieces, but basically everything else I have.
previously the car made 400rwkw and 850nm on the dyno @ morpowa in Adelaide. hoping the new combo will get close to the kw mark and obliterate the torque level
prob going to sell some parts i have though as my injectors will prob be overkill for this setup etc.
then I have to get it here, put it in, and trailer it to Adelaide for a tune and run in.
All this whilst trying to save for a wedding is a bit extreme but thats what happens when you buy someone else's half arsed attempt at a performance car lol
will try posting some pics in next couple days.
