My Build is officially underway wooo-hooo!!!!

mariojmoe · 12-01-2016, 05:36 PM

Scheduled my appointment to drop off my 17 ss to Chris at renegade motorsports in Houston for my mild build. Got the cam kit ordered along with arp head studs, head gaskets, trinuion upgrade, rockers, lifters, etc (the whole 9 yards). I went with the stage 3 cam kit from Vengence racing in Ga, Headers has been sitting in my garage for about a month now (long tube 2 inch catless), Mbrp xp race series catback exhaust with 4 inch tips (bye bye npp), hurst short throw shifter (this and the exhaust en route and should be at my house tomorrow). Finally the best for last stock non ported lt4 heads, along with stock lt4 blower (due tomorrow or Saturday delivery), metco upper 2.38 upper pulley, and fastproms 9.55 lower pulley (brand unknown). upgrading to an lt4 clutch kit as well (got it cheap af). I'm pretty much broke for now (go figure) lol but am stoked to say the very least.

I'm waiting on info on the heat exchanger and which cai to get (only two items I have not ordered yet). Car is getting dropped off Wednesday and is due to be ready (lord willing) following Monday or Tuesday. Matt at fsp will be tuning it.

I'm shooting for 630-650 being conservative (to the wheels) but time will tell all. I will keep you guys/gals in the loop and will post pics starting next week. This is the part I hate the most (waiting) lol.

going to need meth to get that high without replacing some of the fuel system. Sounds like its going to be a killer build, excited to see how it turns out!

mariojmoe · 12-01-2016, 06:05 PM

Nope, he's in Houston at least for now

mariojmoe · 12-06-2016, 06:43 PM

Most of parts in. Waiting on a few misc items and we're about good to go.

bybcous · 12-06-2016, 06:49 PM

What else do you have to purchase to get that blower to work?

mariojmoe · 12-06-2016, 06:53 PM

Going to the shop tomorrow and gunna tease myself and see the cam etc. The anxiety level is beyond explainable right now.

Had to order Zl1 tensioner pulleys, Zl1 idler pulley, a V3 Cts v lower pulley (went with innovators west part number 8410 and 9.10 ring), an upper pulley for sc (waiting to order that) hoses (get at any parts store), and adaptor for heat exchanger motor. I'm using the Z06 hx motor. Aldo welds houston is making a reservoir for Hx. Bunch of options for the heat exchanger. So far not too much complications.
