the 3.0 is already on the car. Yes S&R Performance is in Tampa.
Could you blow something, yes if you don't have supporting mods or have it tuned.
My PCM is still tuned for the 3.4 setup (very mild tune for Daily Driving) I rev'ed it a few times to test for anything ****ed up. and drove it two blocks to my house at pretty much idle speed. I plan on getting it towed to S&R Performance just for safety concerns.
Stay tuned *****es I hope to have the 1/4 Slip by July 28th when the track reopens down here.

Yes, i never have to push it again! lol!
Anyone good with tuning any special instructions i need to convey to the tuner?
Re: Spartan GL's Build Thread: (7-17-2012) PG 46 Build Complete Needs a Tune now.
Me, I say leave it a little fat. Meaning.. find a sweet spot and dial it back a touch. Don't leave it turning 7,000 rpm with a perfect/lean afr. Sooner or later..you kill a motor that way. I always ran my motor a little on the safe side and never worried.

well i am not trying to set any records by any means, but my build is alittle on the aggressive side of the GEN V/XPZ/Aluminum heads/Intercooler builds. I only say that because i also built the bottom end of the engine unlike alot of the other similar builds.

Re: Spartan GL's Build Thread: (7-17-2012) PG 46 Build Complete Needs a Tune now.
this set up fit under the SD hood?
Re: Spartan GL's Build Thread: (7-17-2012) PG 46 Build Complete Needs a Tune now.
Also, got the headlights bolt in firmly and the hood bolts reattached.
The hood has clearance issues, I figure a few washers on the mounting bolts or something would clear it.
Info SD hood GEN V Stage II Inter cooler, Bonneville alt bracket and alternator
Someone help me fix this!

Re: Spartan GL's Build Thread: (7-17-2012) PG 46 Build Complete Needs a Tune now.
in between the cradle and frame i would THINK.. im not sure..
Re: Spartan GL's Build Thread: (7-17-2012) PG 46 Build Complete Needs a Tune now.
from what i understand they go between the sub frame and the body of the car, and result in lowering the engine.
from what ive seen here they are common when lowing the car to keep the axles in line.
not sure how they would play out with stock ride height.

I'm not stock Ride height anymore (KYB AGX Struts & Vogtland Springs) But by no means seriously lowered at at..
I still need an alignment anyway! so when i fix this small transmission leak ill slap in these craddle spacers while i am at it!

Also someone with a Northstar TB chime in to where you got a coupler for the intake? Prefered a 90* bend black/Chrome
Re: Spartan GL's Build Thread: (7-17-2012) PG 46 Build Complete Needs a Tune now.
So i went to put some Gas in it ($3.65 for Premium!) and wash her for the first time since like December...
and holy **** the hood decided to close perfectly when i just let gravity do its thing from high up!
