On Thursday I am getting an alignment to adjust for the suspension spring changes, went back to stock on the front and put 2000 Olds Intrigue springs on the back. I am also doing a coolant flush to check for any blockages, and doing a transmission service to check for any problems that may present themselves due to the high operating temps on the transmission. it went up to 230 the other day before I shut it down, and 220 the day before that. Thanks to Bob, I picked up a transmission cooler for 30 dollars on ebay.
I am planning on relocating the intercooler pump to the fender area instead of where it is currently located, right next to the pcm, and am going to build a pcm mount to have the pcm standing up in the engine bay behind the headlight. I may change my mind and relocate the pcm to the glovebox if the wire harness doesn't have to be extended more than six feet for it to reach. Additionally, I plan on rerouting the intercooler hoses so they are out of the engine bay to a greater extent. I have a coolant gauge to install in the heat exchanger to see what my temps are while operating.
I'm thinking the ported L32 heads need to come off for reworking by Chris Hinson and then to get some 150 lb springs installed. double roller timing chain and an sfi approved dampner may follow, as well as an electric water pump.
Wife wont let me do a turbo, so this is my silent protest.
