Thread: what next?

Nitrous...plz don't say nos.

*sigh*

LOL

Nozzzzz

NOS...is for ricers.

And if your doing heads...ER Rockers with ported heads will work but then you'd NEED headers to maximize that effort.

So, back to my other post...BUY HEADERS.

And off a bottle...with cam and headers...I'd say low 14's. 13's are pretty rare IMO on a stock trans.

good choice. drugs and hookers are more fun anyway.

all the parts are on the way its getting a new chain, a 4340 zzp input shaft

I would never run a high compression motor and boost without optimal flow mods...running high compression without headers is like tossing a 3.4" on a stock L67...is it doable? Sure. Is it safe? Probably not.

I top swapped my car for less then a grand.

But then spent well over a grand on headers, tune, gauges, port work, and paint.

Top swapping a car for less then a grand is easy but getting everything else to properly run and watch your top swap is what will cost you.

Gasket kit from Wbodystore -$300
2 oil changes- $40
Coolant $15
Vac line $15
Belts $30
coolant elbows $5
Valve Seals $20
SC oil $10
Spark Plugs $10
rocker bolts $20
Tune unless you plan on running with a canned one with the wbody gasket kit ~$100

Injector connectors if you have an 01+ $40
Headers - $175
Most people will tell you to get the heads checked also before you but them on.

Thats about $750 not counting head work and assuming you run into no problems. add that to your hard parts.

I wouldnt consider a top swap complete without all that because you need them to drive the car pretty much.

Im not saying you cant get all the hard parts for super cheap, its the rest that screws you.

You can get the rebuild gasket kit from your local auto parts store for around 150 bucks...that is one place that is screwing ya. Also...injector connectors? That's for '04+ EV injector cars.

Also...if your coolant is good prior to the swap...not sure why'd you replace it. Also...DHP Tuning is free if you DIY it or you know someone that can get it done.

You need injector connectors for 01+ cars. My friend just did his and he needed them. But he didnt know because no one told him/ knew about it. i even tried connecting my L67 injectors to my L36 wiring harness. Doesnt work. And im gonna have to check the parts store to see if i can find something like that. the gasket kit may seem more expensive because it also comes with a canned tune also. And dont you have to pay to unlock the PCM? And i dont know anyone who would like to tune my car for free.

Sorry for the Threadjack OP^
