Nice :P looks like it was a pretty clean swap.

It went pretty well and I'm happy with the results. All parts I thoroughly cleaned before going on so it's like having a new top end to the engine, and it runs like brand new. I wish I could see those pretty heads better with everything on there...

The only thing I'm not happy with is how the soldered connections for the injector connectors look. Might have to loom them.

Congrats.

Congrats man. Tear down looked like it went really well and the install looks REALLY clean. I bet you're gonna love it 20 times more once it is tuned so you can roll into boost!! Then you'll wonder why there is a baby whining from under your hood LOL!!

I could already chirp the tires on the 1-2 when I was N/A. I wanna see what that M90 adds...

With those 3.29's you'll be leaving marks at the 1-2 shift

I don't have 3.29s. I have 3.05s. The whole w-body world doesn't revolve around what GPs have.

Forgot about that...now I remember you saying that last time I commented about it...just kinda threw me for a loop since the GT's have the 3.29's and the GTP's have the 2.93's...Ooowellz

Lol.

Earlier I pushed it harder than I have. The Aeroforce wasn't on TP%, but I'd guess about 50%. I rolled into it after I made a turn from a light. In second gear, saw about 8PSI, and I was at 60MPH shockingly fast.

I think I'm going to like this.

Lol, Imps have four different gear ratios.

2.86 in the base model 3.4L
2.93 in the L67 SS cars
3.05 in the civilian L36 models
3.29 in the police models

I'm not even sure what the current body style has except the LS4 SS have 2.93s.

And just when I thought 3.05's were the only gear setup I had to worry about LOL

Nice job Sabre

Thanks! So far it's a nice sleeper.

That supercharger idler pulley bracket is by far the sexiest part!

Looks great man! I'm sure your loving it.

I did a full throttle run from 30MPH to 80MPH (uphill even).












That is all.

Change you pants afterwards?

I was grinning from ear to ear. That ported M90 started yelling and before I could look over all my gauges (didn't even get to the boost gauge to see how much boost) I was at 80. I mean, I was going up hill for crying out loud and it still pulled that hard. It pulled harder in second gear going up hill than it ever did in first gear before the top swap. Amazing.

The engine was warmed up, but I don't think the M90 had gotten hot yet so I did the whole run with no knock. I was in shock as I put the brakes on going over the bridge so the cops won't get me.

Good stuff dude for sure!! Wait until you get to an IC or Meth...and be able to run a 3.4/3.2 lol

Sounds like a crazy improvement. I just know im going to get a ticket the first day i have my m90 on
