tested ( i think) speedo, it didn't respond. now gonna test power to Vehicle speed sensor, from ecm. cruise control still works so i this speed sonsor still ok. when i saw cheap shorty headers, i jumped on'em. $75 for hedman shorty. for 75 bucks who cares how long they last. right now is all about budget. would really love 1 off made headers. can't afford it though.

Don't throw your old tensioner out. I can show you how to rebuild it and them next time!
Joe, glad to hear from ya. I thought you were mad for my extra code I made your car throw. I guess I will have to work extra hard to make your car perfect!!!!!

It wasn't the tensioner, just an idler. I have a Katech tensioner. Kept tossing belts with the stocker on the new motor. Apparently it didn't like 6800 RPM.
If you are meeting at the gas station at 95 and beville, it is about 25 minutes.
Joe, glad to hear we are all set. Your car is the third gen I always wanted!
Front bearings. You need front inner and outer bearing and races (they are usually sold together), and seals. I can reuse cotter pins as long as they are there. Worst case, I have an advance and autozone within 3 miles of my house.
The idler and tensioner bearings are all rebuildable. Why you spinning your motor that high??? I have my rev limiter set at 6200 with shift light set for 6100. No higher till I build a motor.....

We could do a PST kit and then you could shoot over and see mrr23. I don't know if he visits here ever, but regardless, he is the front end man. Runs an alignment shop near Lee Rd in east Orlando. He is the only man that I will let work on my car other than me. Period

yea its about 25 minutes. dont worry about getting there will i got it mapquested and still remember how to get there. what gas station is it. i drove right past there yesterday and was to tired and cant remember which it is.
Joe it's the only station. eastbound lane. Mike I've emailed Rob before, but it's so far away. it'll get done, in the coming months. maybe be excuse to crowd his shop.

All joe has to do is wash his car and it looks damn PERFECT!
Races come with bearings, just need seals. i have 2 different small bearings, both fed mog. 1 made in china the other Romania. should i change out to both of same country of orig?

I make peak power around 6400-6500 RPM, my limiter is at 6800. It's a forged bottom end 347, AFR heads, "T.F.S." cam from Crane, ported FAST 90mm, etc, etc.
I guess you never paid much attention to my sig. I make 400+ RWHP & RWTQ w/o boost or nitrous. It's far from a stock motor.
no i was reading about newer cars having 3 blocks instead of 2,in cat. more effecient. but i cant see 1 being hi flow.
you rebuilt 2000 ls1? sounds like some motor.

Nope, missed that. Nice job. I need to start saving for a forged bottom end so I can really crank the boost up....
NP, I don't really advertise what I have. I never give out my cam specs because 99% of the people wouldn't believe me if I told them.
You've had that 98' for years it seems. I swear I used to see that car around Deland/Deltona when I first bought my 2000 back in 03'.
We'll chat over here on Sunday! I actually ordered that car new in 98, so yup, I have had it since day 1. Just really started modding it about 2 years ago.....
Well Mike you would think that plugging in that wire would get rid of the code 42. But it didnt, what it did do was make code 34 pop up. This is crazyness. I could only get it to show the codes once. After 4 failed more attempts I gave up trying to see them again.
i am not touching that comment WILLIE!!! lol they look good though. hey joe just take it easy for the next few days sunday is almost here. just dont think about it till then.
did you see the rims on the front of that car uuugggghhhhh!!! i hate to see when people dont use ceramic brake pads to keep the dust down to a mininum! you should get a pic of the t/a running around that is dark blue then as you look toward the hood and roof of the car it is white and rusty. that guy is pimpin'.
Just converted my third brake light to led using the kit from www.custom-leds.com and it looks great. Finally got all 5 bulbs lite up instead of just 2 lol.
You can get a live view on sunday. It really doesnt look much different from stock lights. Im going to get a vinal type thing to go over it that says irocz. I think that would look pretty kool.
well i need a pic so i can see it. i won't be able to make it tomorrow. stuff always coming up at the last second. . but that's the way the cookie crumbles. you guys have fun. i'll make it some other time.
all good mikey. i'm sure mike will have his hands full. just means i can get mine done faster. got a couple lines on 110mph speed, 1 i'm getting 1st has bad tach, so i'll just swap my speedo out, then send the cluster w/ 2 bad gauges to reman, they dont do camaro clusters so they said it will be experimental, free of charge!
yeah i can't make it. i did my wheel bearings today. the outers were bad. i didn't realize the originals were plastic cages... just for the outers. got it done. gonna work some extra tomorrow for more cash flow. i'll make it some other time fellas. next weekend i may buy a new belt and take out smog pump... if not then buy the end of may it should be gone. hey will let me know how well that works for ya! you guys have fun tomorrow!!!!! see ya!

Yea, great seeing you all! Thanks for stopping by! 86Iroc, bad to the bone!!!!
lol I squeezed on it in 2nd gear on Newmark, I wondered if you heard it or not. I figured I was too far away by then. With the gas prices, I should drive easier, but it's just too damn fun.
Next meet up, I swear I'll bring my autoxray for Joe's car. I felt bad I didn't think of it sooner.
Oh we heard you loud and clear lol. Im going to buy me a scanner off ebay here. Mike found a cheap one Im going to bet on in a couple days. But if I dont get it then yours would come in handy.
NP man, I don't even mind lending it out to you for a week or two at a time. Mine scans and clears codes, and gives you realtime data as you drive. That's how I found I was pulling timing @ WOT.
