joel's build

[99gsxjoel]

It is winter so now it is time to pull the car in the garage and make some more power.

My setup as it sits now is very basic.
Stock block
Stock head
Stock intake.
Evo3 16g
3" Turbo back
Fmic
950fic injectors
255 walbro fuel pump.

Very simple yet very effective. I couldent have been any more happy with how the car performed. 349whp. Ans squeezed out a 11.95.

Now for the plans over the next month or so.
At the end of last year I beleave I either snapped a shift fork, or broke the shift rail to the trans is going to get sent out for a jack's stage 2 rebuild.

The turbo as well was on its way out burning a little oil. So i am going to send it to turbo lab and have them rebuild it, and also put a 20g wheel in it.

I have also accumulated someother thing as well.
Mitsumoto radiator
H11 head studs
Head gasket
Water pump
Timing belt
Egr block off.

Now the only things I can really think of that I need is a set of cams, retainers, and springs.

I am trying to make the car as efficient as possible with what I have. If you have any guess to what my next step is minus building the block please inform me.

So I plan on taking some pics and posting them as it goes. I am sure I will be posting some questions after the engine and everything is removed from the car.

Thanks. Joel

349 whp is that dyno jet numbers or db? Iam guessing dynojet. You have any power goals? come spring time I want more videos of you beating down vettes

[turbotalon1g]

^This.
I know a white vette you can run.....

Any reason you are going to run H11 head studs? I don’t see the point on your mod list. Unless you got them for a good deal. Also I would bump up the tranny build to a 2.2 hd so you won’t have to worry about maxng it out in the future.

I just wanted no chance in hell to lift the head. I already have them, and got them in a group buy for a good price. I ran 28 lbs all last summer on stock head studs and gasket, and every time I hit the gas i was worried i was going to lift the head.

Also to add to the list I have a stock rear bumper, and side skirts. Excited for the car to go back to stock looking. For the tail lights I have not decided if I want to tint the tails I have now or just get a set of oem.

That's awesome. 298whp and walking C6 Vette's and running 11's. I know of another white c5 vette you can run if you come on the spring cruise.

I am always down for some highway runs.

I am very moderate on my HP goals. On DB's dyno uncorrected any where between 350 and 400, and 400 to 450 on a dyno jet. So shooting for 50 to 100 more than it sits now.

I think with the 20G wheel and having cams I hope I can see gains like that.

[goodhart]

I would think so. That is a super fun power level. Especially if you start dropping a little bit of weight here and there.
