i like your oil feed mod!
I'm curious about the oil pressure drop on these cars with turbo added...have you logged it? not like we use afm but i am retaining vvt for stage one so the thought crossed my mind. I may end up using a turbosmart OPR to regulate 40psi to the turbo...help out the system a bit. |

100% get rid of vvt if you are going FI. 100%. It works great for small power upgrades or NA combos. Once you start making big power, esp with turbo. It cost me my last motor.

VVT needs to go bye bye with about any cam swap even NA. It's ok for bolt-on mild NA stuff but even more aggressive H/C cars benefit a ton by removing it all together. The cam phaser is just not designed to handle the increased valve train load and rpm from a cam that requires substantially more spring pressure to control the valves.

Why didn't you get Pray's stage 3? You have been on Jorge's YT channel and seen the results. It will make as much or more power then the EL-C7 and drive better. The lockout kit for the stock phaser seems to work for most NA stuff.

Both guys Pray and Jorge’s channel great work and info. Once I get it in the car and after first tune from shop I will be jumping on a remote dyno for Pray to tune with E85.

The LME cover comes with an o-ring too so no rtv...and looks nice. https://latemodelengines.com/lme-bil...ont-cover.html In the mean time i just want to get the turbo system up and running soundly at low boost (going to kill me to not turn it up)...save up some cash for the next round of parts and build a motor on the side. |

if you guys scroll back a couple pages, I have pics of the LME billet front cover I have. Its a really nice piece and sitting on the shelf waiting to be installed. Not only does it remove the bulky and heavy phaser with a single cam gear it but also looks sweet =].
Katech said a few more weeks on the oil pump.

There is a ground strap thread for hot cranking slowness. Most use the water pump bolt and neg post by the fuse box.
Chevy has a ground from that to the engine already and I don’t want a ground strap on my water pump. I’m going from the front clip bolt/body to the back of the passenger head. I buzzed the paint off the body and underside of the head of the bolt.

If you don't mind - once you finish the ground cable installation - could you post a couple of photos in my thread about hot cranking slowness? I'm hoping to keep that thread alive with fresh ideas and several different solutions for where and how to attach the ground cable. I know that there still are many people out there dealing with this. Thanks
