Lookin good dude. Geez everyone is getting turbos :P *dreams*

[GMWAGN]

Ride looks great, good taste there!! Go Calais!! Nice colour.

[Ben]

after having a really good week at work this week, im finally able to purchase my cam :)
going 206/210 @ 114 which crowe cams say suits a turbo application perfectly. Its the same as there stage 3 cam, just set up for boost. So hopefully, should have that at the end of next week, and will be ordering my walbro in tank fuel pump at the same time, which ill try and have installed before christmas :)

[Ryan-VL]

What are your plans for the bottom end? Leaving it stock? How much boost you planning on running?

Looking good, can't wait to see the end result :D

[Ben]

leaving the bottom end stock till it blows....
then ill look at buying a super 6 bottom end and put that in.
As for boost, as a dailey probably keep it around 9 psi. But once Hi torque tune it, ill find out how much boost i can run :)

[Ryan-VL]

Sounds good, at least bottom end's are cheap :)

[Ben]

im more worried about the gear box.... The one in the calais now slips from time to time, so i know it wont handle boost, so i figure ill just keep buying box's of e bay for $300 untill i can build on to handle it. lol

[BrAdAsS]

nice Ben.... you gettin it dyno'd? It would be good to see where it's sitting with the cam.

[Ben]

yeah brad, im putting it on at the dyno day. Doing everything i can to get as much power na before the day.

[NZSHAKER]

do u need a 2 bar map sensor for running boost in the 6 ?

If so I have a 2 bar map sensor for sale :) if not then dont worry lol

[crewzyvs]
