Looks good, I've never actually seen the back of these motors before, so for that thanks!

I think we can all agree though, we hate "insert something witty and funny here*

What is the grey paint you used on the S/C
Very nice work on the motor.

I used high temp aluminum engine paint that I had bought from O'Reillys

You are the second person I have heard say that the Comp lifters were noisy. I guess the OEM ones are better then?

**Street Wolf** · 12-26-2007

Do NOT install Comp lifters.

**SyntheticShield** · 12-26-2007

Well that makes three, so I'll just find some low mileage OE lifters or brand new ones if they arent expensive.

I got a set of low mileage used CompG lifters from ED cheap, night and day differance between the OE-R's and stock for sure.

Farnsworth, are there any difference between the CompG lifters and what I would have in my GTP? I want a set of good quality lifters, some beefed up pushrods and good springs to use with 1.7 or 1.8 roller rockers. Any input?

Nice, looks great bud!

Just curious, i was looking at your sig, are you cammed at all or are you still on stock valvetrain? I don't see rockers listed so I was wondering. How much are you spraying nowadays?

with a 4000stall..man he must have the stage 4 blower cam. thats the same stall I have in mine to spool up.

**beast3300** · 12-28-2007

i like it alot. what is the color that you used for the sc housing and the front cover?

**my97gtp** · 12-28-2007

What does a stage 4 blower have to do with a 4k stall. You do realize the stage 4 blower does little more than a stage 2 or 3. It just has inlet outlet ported and i believe ported for an ic. Their are no roots or twin screw cars that should need a covertor that high. I dont think i would go over a 3k stall. I hate my 3k stall. I dont even want to imagine a 4k stall.

the converter stall would be that high to get him in the power range for the cam he has...not blower.

I understand that. He said blower tho and not blower cam. And even a huge cam like the stage 4 should not need a 4k stall. You want you stall close to you peak torque and im sure the stage 4 does not move the max torque up that far. I think even a 3500 for blower not centrifugal cars is to big. Its alot of stall for a car that should make power almost instantly. I know my friends xpz car with a 2750 has no problem getting off the line. Still cut 1.7's on qtp's.
