I plan to work on working more hours to afford rebuilding the engine in my buick, probably get heads and intake ported, maybe cam, maybe forged rotating assembly. Also debating on building the 200r4 or going with a TH400, bigger stall. Could also go with meth and bigger turbo. The gto, needs just a lot of maintenance, change fluids, bushings, fix the leaks, and get the suspension sorted. If i have money left over, at least do headers. Also bumper…maybe rims. ---

Why not run ls3 style heads? ODB2 wiring harness and ECU swap in the 3800 S/C cavy with the new engine. Hope to have that done soon and get her on the dyno for some 500+ hp numbers. LSx swapped E36 M3 Cam and heads on the Viper. Finish up some nitrous work on the vette. Make 900+whp lol ---

Just need to get a tune on it, then would like to clean it up a bit. Might keep it, might sell it. I wanted that RX7, but glad I didn’t buy it. Ended up buying a cottage that has occupied nearly all of my free time since early August. I would have had 3 projects laying around in my garage. ---

Might keep it, might sell it. Why didn’t you just tune it your self? It’s pretty straight forward with a wideband/speed density tune a lot of sloppy mechanic base tunes and realistically 12-14 degrees of peak timing there isn’t a lot to go wrong on 93 if you’re in the 500-550rwhp range. ---

I started with a sloppy tune from a 4.8, got it up and running with that. I will continue tuning it myself. I’ve never done it, but I’ve been following the book and learning as I go. Worst case is I pop the engine and start over. ---
