LOL Mark! That's funny! Well THANK YOU to Mark and his dad for helping out extracting that bolt. I've dealt with this in the past on the front side of the motor, but I was out of steam on this one. Took 1.5 hours of grinding with a diamond bit, but they got it out!

Manifold is ON and SOLID! I boost leak tested to 30psi, holds dandy! I need to re-route some of my vacuum lines, get some proper vacuum caps, and do a little more of a wire tuck, but so far all is well. My tune is WAY out of whack now, but after a decent test drive with Kracka and Kevin, the car feels solid, and so far no CEL after unhooking the EGR and all associated lines.

LOL Turbo will have to get his humping in check!

The ported IM/TB is a success! The car runs again and feels strong!

THe car definatly feels strong. I can't wait to see how hard this thing will pull after it's tuned.

So you drilled out the old bit and broken bolt and retapped or did you extract it?

Back from the dead! Pete, extracted it.

So, results.

Jan 07 shane put in the cams, the car made ~292whp w/o raising the boost (it was at about 23psi peak on a mbc).

Since then, I put in the ported exhaust manifold, ported hotside, SS o2 housing, IX turbo (bigger compressor), ported intake manifold, and ported TB. The car is also making a tad more boost up top with the gm bcs I installed.

So, what does this all add up to?

Also note, this tune was done mostly by me, so given full control I feel confident shane could get a little bit more out of it. But it's now my low-boost, non-alky map so it's a nice, tame, knock-free kick-around-town tune. Ricer math says all those mods should get me closer to 335whp, so I feel I got my money's worth. An easy 25-30whp gain for a total of about $800 invested, that is still good bang/buck $$ in most people's books, including mine!
