What I wanna know is how it can drive you nuts when you already were nuts to begin with

*runs and hides FAST*

I agree on the radiator stop comment. A bottle with that contains fluid and a paste/sand/grit kind of substance. Looks like a great project, have fun with it and may the results be satisfactory

Re: Plumcrazy & Greg Good Are a....

Silly question, being I'm strongly considering doing the exact same thing to my car. Will the stock fuel system still enough to support these mods, and what are you using for a tune?

 

[ViperTony]

Re: Plumcrazy & Greg Good Are a....

In speaking with Greg Good and others the stock system will be suitable for my mods but it will be max'd out. As for tuning, I'm doing an SCT tune.

 

[plumcrazy]

Re: Plumcrazy & Greg Good Are a....

stock fuel system "should be good to about 600rwhp or so.

adding a real fuel system is not a bad idea though.

Re: Plumcrazy & Greg Good Are a....

Tony, its all about SAVING money. if you dont get the nicey, nice fuel system, you can potentially hurt the engine costing you LOTS more money down the road.....

guess i need to talk to her again huh ?

It's not about spending more money, I get it. I think for what I'm targeting 550rwhp, the stock fuel system should be fine but I guess a little more research on fuel systems can't hurt.

Re: Plumcrazy & Greg Good Are a....

I'll keep Tony talking Plum, And you go have a word...........

Re: Plumcrazy & Greg Good Are a....

Good luck with your build. You can't go wrong with a good heads/cam package from Greg.

As for the fuel system, you may or may not be max'd out on fuel, depending on your specs/tune. I left a few hp on the table (maybe 5-10rwhp) with my GG heads/cam set-up as I started to max mine out on the top end as we shot for the 600rwhp mark. Instead of spending the money for new fuel system, I just had mine tuned to accommodate the limitation....just not enough upside to justify the expense for me. Ended up with 592rwhp/584rwtq. If at some point I decide I have to have a few more horses, I will go ahead and have my intake ported and upgrade my fuel to take advantage of those gains.

Thanks and I agree with your logic. I'm in the same mindset. If I hit your numbers I'll be thrilled but I'm not worried about the stock fuel system. Like yourself, I will most likely tune to accommodate the top end fuel system limitation. I'm not looking to get a better ET just a little more fun in Mexico and on the track.

Those were/are some awesome heads. Greg really outdid himself on those. If I recall correctly the stock casting flow as well a set of Striker heads. Not bad at all!

Re: Plumcrazy & Greg Good Are a....

Thanks Joseph. In one coolant passage, the grit was a greyish paste. On the other side it was pure sand/grit. Anyway, thanks for the various tips you've posted here throughout the years. A wealth of information can be had via search.

I'm certain I found the source of this goo...my water pump went last fall and Ken's pic here that shows the goo leaking from the water pump impeller seems to be the culprit: http://forums.viperclub.org/2836630-post12.html

Hi JD,

Yes, they are a very nice set of heads and the flow figures were very strong as evidenced by the solid mustang dyno figures....but you kinda had an idea of what I would be getting

 

[ViperTony]

Re: Plumcrazy & Greg Good Are a....

Got some flow numbers on my heads from Greg Good this morning. 315cfm Intake, 230cfm Exhaust. I should have everything delivered by the weekend. Can't wait to get it all put back together.

Awesome looking work. And to think that was done by hand.

Re: Plumcrazy & Greg Good Are a....

Very nice. Make sure you are well hydrated before you go on your first drive or you will likely experience extreme cramping from the huge smile you'll have on your face
