^^^^^ :hahano: yeah the car supposed to weigh around 3200lbs(it has not been on scales this is going by source stating car weights) it has been on a diet easier to take weight out of car than eat less 🤣 ---

No a 15 wont clear 13" rotors. Thats why I am gonna use 17" GTO spares as skinnies C6 brakes should be 13.5" so i’m not sure if the GTO spares would clear that or not. ---

took the car out the other day for some tuning and beat the fuck out of it. its on its lowest setting and gets 4.3 psi. with a half assed tune it runs like a raped ape. i cant wait to give it 15psi. now i definitely need a roll cage. ---

I reallllllly want to see your results with those turbos. How does it feel with that low boost and those large T70’s? No surge at all? I should have went with atleast 61mm’s probly the 64’s but 70’s seemed to large but apparently work well. ---

new update went to install a more turbo friendly cam and decided to pull the heads and this is what i found. #7 piston crown broke and both of the ringlands ![http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa85/classicfirebird/7piston.jpg](http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa85/classicfirebird/7piston.jpg) also #5 ringland broke between the 1st and 2nd ring ![http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa85/classicfirebird/5ringland.jpg](http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa85/classicfirebird/5ringland.jpg) here is a pic of the bottom end ![http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa85/classicfirebird/bottomend.jpg](http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa85/classicfirebird/bottomend.jpg) and another before i took the engine out ![http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa85/classicfirebird/camaroengine.jpg](http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa85/classicfirebird/camaroengine.jpg) well the good thing is i just put in je blower pistons which will lower the compression to a more turbo friendly 9.0:1. also i got the new pistons to within 2 grams of the old ones so no need to take everything to the machine shop to have balanced. and what a pain in the ass to get the old spiro locks off the old pistons ---
