Re: What extra parts do yo you keep on hand?

meh, you will find room to store things if you want to keep them around. Ask supa, he has seen my one car garage. btw the carpeted trim pieces seem to do well in an attic =)

Re: Beercans s13

which makes me wonder why you didn't just go with an aluminum one. aluminum short block - 1000$ (bare block) iron block that can be bored out to use same internals at aluminum short block and use every single part the aluminum block uses, can take >30psi boost in stock form, has a shorter stroke/hi...

Re: Supakat's Thread

LM7 would be my choice if going v8 like your setup. Gotta love cast blocks. LY5 is the newer LM7 now. have to be careful on the newer blocks. they have this active port management (displacement on demand) on the newer generation engines where they manage oiling and solenoids to each of the cylinder...

Re: Injectors, Reflash, Pump questions

You will need to change out the rubber hose with fuel hose (different chemical resistance, the plain rubber will just melt in gas). Usually, whatever brand fittings you get, that supplier makes braided hose too. I use the earls or russell brand hose (granted its braided, just as expensive when order...

if you are going to do the v8, may as well do the truck motor and boost it. seriously, I got my long block v8 with accessories for 150$. its like how the abundance of ka's were 5 years ago. plus a fully forged set of internals if the 1000hp on a stock block isnt enough for me is under a grand. you d...

amidst all the fun quirks that go with getting a new setup working, eventually you hit that point where you have a grin across your face hitting the gas pedal.
