I've had a few people ask me some questions about my Monte so I thought I'd just lay it all out in a thread. Here's everything that's been done so far engine wise:
ZZP tuned PCM
Paxton Novi 1k
3.4" Pulley
L67 injectors
ZZP GT1 cam
ZZP Stage 2.5 heads
.690 pushrods
.045 head gaskets
105# valve springs
valve spring retainers
TOG Headers
P&P LIM
Aluminum LIM gaskets
10.3mm spark plug wires
Autolite 103 spark plugs (.043 gap)
ZZP Stage 1 T/B
ZZP W/P UDP
180* drilled thermostat
shift kit
custom 2.5" exhaust with no cat
O2 Emulator
HV3
Poly Motor Mounts
ZZP Race Battery
With this setup, I went to ZZP to have them dyno tune it. We only had one good run with it, and even that didn't go so well. My PCM is set to go up to 6500 rpm but we had to stop the pull at 5500 rpm because the engine was running lean (14:1). At 5500 rpm the L67 injectors were at 110% (which is bad), and the CSC was putting out about 7psi. Whp was still climbing and at that point it had put down 325whp. I have just now bought some 42# injectors and am waiting to go back to the dyno. I'm hoping to put down around 350-360whp with this setup and the 42# injectors. After this, I'm going to install an intercooler and if I hit 400whp, then I'll be done with the engine and start focusing again on the body. If not, I'll swap a different cam in (I haven't decided which one yet). Anyways, onto the pics:
The only thing that I've done that's not really performance oriented is I swapped out the back seats.
Before:
After:
This use to be my NA project (best NA was 222whp), but I got bored and then I CSC. Best decision I ever made
