Gary, I thought about buying one like the top one but wont use it enough. So I think I will buy one like the second one. I thought i would start a review thread because I have used shit pullers before that have snapped.

Hahaha cava.

 

Quality can take time. They will be mint when they are finished

With the horn going off you might have a dodgy switch in the door.

Hi chloe. Welcome to the forum.

[ChrisMParticipant Melbourne VicVN Calais LS1 View build HERE Member since: August 16, 2017 Posts: 140]

I finally have all my parts beside the pushrods. I’m going to order them after I take a measurement. Now to find some time to get this swap going.

The gauge mounts look mint. I still have to get around to putting mine in.

[ChrisMParticipant Melbourne VicVN Calais LS1 View build HERE Member since: August 16, 2017 Posts: 140]

Yeah that’s right mate. At least I will know the increase now that I have a base.

[ChrisMParticipant Melbourne VicVN Calais LS1 View build HERE Member since: August 16, 2017 Posts: 140]

I just thought with the manual and 4.11 gears it might have made a bit more. I would rather be on an accurate dyno the one that fluffs the results.

[ChrisMParticipant Melbourne VicVN Calais LS1 View build HERE Member since: August 16, 2017 Posts: 140]

The motor has done 227kms. It is a completely stock motor with no tune done to it. But yeah I would have thought it would have made more as well. The only this it has is extractors and pod filter.

I got my valve springs and oil pump today so not many parts left to collect before I do the cam and tune.

Hopefully the pan doesn’t leak again.

[ChrisMParticipant Melbourne VicVN Calais LS1 View build HERE Member since: August 16, 2017 Posts: 140]

The heads are looking good.

[ChrisMParticipant Melbourne VicVN Calais LS1 View build HERE Member since: August 16, 2017 Posts: 140]

I had my car on the dyno today so I can get a before cam power figure and it made 168rwkw I was hoping for a bit more.

Very interesting Gary.

[ChrisMParticipant Melbourne VicVN Calais LS1 View build HERE Member since: August 16, 2017 Posts: 140]
