Notes:

Similar setups to this make in the low 500’s for horsepower and this will have lots of torque do to the custom cam design.  If you stick it you should be able to get into the 10’s on 91+ octane and still get 20+ highway mpgs.

The battery is centered (left to right) in the trunk because it was meant to be a street car, first.  There is an external shutoff that should be good for Real Street drags as long as you have a piece of tape pointing to it because it is somewhat hidden.

There is no rust in the typical body areas.  I believe the rear quarters and one of the fenders have been replaced.  The seals are fairly new and the glass is all good.  I found a few pin holes in the trunk but stopped them with CorrosionX for now.  The could easily be fixed with epoxy and repainted.  The underbody is quite clean.  Both bumpers are fairly new.  All fluids are synthetic:  oil, trans, diff, brakes, steering.

I put Zero Rust (similar to POR 15) and a butyl sound deadener on the firewall before installing the AC assembly.  I will include the 1 3/4 rolls that is left.  I planned to do the whole interior.

The transmission has a constant pressure setup so no TV cable is needed.  It will shift into OD around 35-ish (if I remember correctly) which is better for MPGs.  If you don’t want it in OD that early then just use the ratchet shifter.  With the lock-up converter, do not shift into OD (4th) with more than 1/2 throttle.  If you want to “get on it” I would keep it out of overdrive for maximum transmission life.

It really needs to be repainted.  A previous owner did a poor job.  It looks OK from about 10 feet away.  The lead lines show along the roof line do to a lack of primer or something and there is some rough body work along the rockers..  There is a ding in the drivers door about the size of a quarter and at least one good run in the clear but that is low enough that most people don’t see it.

The carpet is faded and needs to be replaced.  The seats and headliner are in good shape. 

It has an oil leak (drip) on the back side of the motor.  Using a PCV rather than just a breather may fix or reduce that problem.

The engine compartment wiring has been hidden (for the most part).  The wiper motor was deleted so if you are in an inspection area that could be a problem.  RainX once every spring will do more than the wipers ever did.

I finally got this running last fall.  The FAST system is still learning and so am I.  The motor has never been over 5000 and the shift points should be around 6000-ish.  Do to the overlap on the cam and how sensitive the IAC is I have the FAST idle set at 750 and opened the throttle blades to 750-800 (on the tach).  This was the best way to get a smooth idle otherwise it would tend to hunt (surge) because the IAC is sensitive.  The LS intake manifold is kind of cold blooded since it does not have any hot engine oil splashing on it.  When it is cool out I have had the idle stay high because the inlet air temp sensor gets cold soaked.  The idle and cruise are set at 14.4 air/fuel which is the cleanest setting for E10 which is only 6% ethanol (usually) according to reports from a person that does fuel testing at gas stations.

I have new header gaskets and longer bolts because I think there may still be a leak which could cause some incorrect readings on the O2 sensor.  The flanges on the collector have dead soft aluminum gaskets so I think those are good.

I have receipts for most of the important items.  If you do not have a laptop I can include mine, for programming the MSD.  It is a clone and my intent was to remove the badges when it got repainted.  When you make 500+ horsepower you don’t have to pretend that it is something that it's not. ;-)  I am selling this because I was off work for nearly 6 months and my finances took a significant hit.  The title is clear with no lien.

2014 Chevy Silverado priced from *$24,585, V8 gets better economy than Ford EcoBoost V6

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Chevrolet has thrown down the next hand in the pickup truck poker wars and revealed at least a couple of potential aces - depending on which numbers matter most to you. The 2014 2014 Silverado 1500 with its 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 gets 335 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, is mated to a six-speed automatic, can tow 11,500 pounds with the optional Max Trailer Package and costs the same as the outgoing Silverado, $24,585 (*including $995 destination fee). Chevy says the Silverado also stands atop the fuel economy charts when comparing any competitor with a V8 engine - and some competitors with V6 engines. The two-wheel drive model returns 16 miles per gallon city, 23 mpg highway, 19 mpg combined in two-wheel drive guise and 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined as a four-wheel drive.
For context around those numbers, the most fuel efficient V8-powered 2013 Ford F-150 pickups lose about two mpg in every metric compared to the Silverado, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost returning 16 city, 18 highway and 22 combined in two-wheel drive. However, that EcoBoost does have 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. You can get a Ram 1500 with a 3.6-liter V6 that gets 25 mpg highway, but it has 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. The 2013 Ram with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and its 395 hp and 407 lb-ft drops one mpg in every category to the Silverado. Its tow rating is 200 pounds beyond its nearest competitor, the F-150 with the Max Trailer Tow Package.
Elsewhere, the new Silverado gets a quieter cab with a redesigned interior, a new bed with improved load-management possibilities, disc brakes all around, tweaked steering and suspension, along with free standard scheduled maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles.

Next-gen Chevy Cruze caught cruising in the cold

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Spy photographers have caught what looks like the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze out on snow patrol. The camo could be tricking our eyes, but it look like it has an even tidier, more rounded front end and even lower fenders in relation to the top of the hood. And either a chunk of camo has been wedged between the side mirrors and the doors, or the mirrors are up for revision, too.
The door handles have been moved up the side of the car, leading the way to a rear end that grows a bit in length. If the rumors are true, the coming second-generation Cruze sits on the new D2XX platform that will replace the Delta and Theta platforms at General Motors. A global architecture, the Cruze will be the first to get it, but it will underpin everything from next Chevrolet Volt to the Equinox and could be responsible for 2.5 million units by 2018. The next Cruze is expected to begin production in GM's Lordstown, Ohio plant in the third quarter of 2014.

Use this PowerPoint when convincing your spouse to let you buy a Corvette

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

When you are not the one in charge of the purse strings, creativity is a must when trying to get the string-holder to bankroll that next shiny object you just can't live without.
When I was a kid, I decided that life wasn't worth living if it weren't in pursuit of owning a GMC Typhoon. My 12-year-old self crafted a fiscal strategy that, when combined with my offer of a 49-percent share of ownership in the car in return for my parents' contribution of 80-percent of the purchase price, would see me behind the wheel of a Typhoon by the time I hit college. They walked away from the negotiating table and, the economic climate of the 8th grade being what it was at the time, another partner wasn't found before the Typhoon was discontinued.
Roy El-Rayes, however, has succeeded where 12-year-old me failed, and he did it by using the sort of professionalism that only a PowerPoint presentation can provide, along with some humor and bold-faced flattery.
