Here are a few quick shots of my Stealthram that I had powder coated red by Spohn Performance. The lighting was pretty crappy, so it's hard to see how glossy this thing really is. I'm going to be getting better pictures later today when I have more time (hopefully ).

 

Damned Ca emmisions laws

lol damn right about emissions ... what a crock. how much did he charge to do the powdercoating ? he def. did a good job with sealing the holes first

 

lookin good!, Wouldn't mind getting myself one of them

 

Very nice. Spohn sure can powder coat very well. What is the Stealth going to be sitting on top of?

 

Nu-tek Motorsports 396:4340 forged Cola crank, 4340 forged Eagle H-beam rods, forged SRP pistons, Callies billet splayed caps, Comp 236/242 112 .555 int/.576 exh cam, Canton oil pan, AFR 195 heads 100% competition CNC ported, Comp Pro Magnum roller rockers, blah blah blah. You get the idea

 

Looks nice.

 

Looks Good and would probally look even better in the car.....

How much did the powdercoating run you??

 

That engine is incredible, sorry to ask but I was wondering if you were going to replace your gm 10 bolt rearend?

 

That looks sweet, Hey brad one word of caution, when dropping on the intake, watch out for the mountion bracket on the back of the head. You know the one you got the chain on, I had my RTV and gaskets laid out to put my stealth ram on, and that bracket was in the way, I had to bend it out of the way cause it was hitting the SR it messed up my seal alittle. Now I have to go back and yanked that savage off to reseal it, cause it leaks alittle in the back. Just thought I would give you a heads up. Oh and if your using the fuel rail kit, put some teflon tape around the shraider(spelling) valve. That little savage leaked alittle. But man your engine is looking good.

 

looking great!!

 

Bling Bling

 

Now theres a tallen!

 

I took more pics this evening. Some of them turned out crappy, some turned out good. You can see them at:

That looks great.

 

When i tried getting my miniram powder coated they wanted a minimum of $250! I just took a dremel and polished it. It came out great! I tried to get it red like that similar to the lt4 intake! That looks good man! FLYNLOW92rs, everytime i see the pic in your sig i just want to rip off her panties and go to town, nice!

 

..............and the allmighty AC Delco oil filter!:hail:

 

Is that one of the motors like in the GM High tech performance magazine? You don't have to tell me how much you paid but how much do they go for? They are crate motors, correct?

 

That looks nice Man.

May I ask what they charged to coat your stealth Ram? It looks Great.

I do PowderCoating also and wonder how much a It ran Ya. to compair to what I would charge.( I garantee to beat anybodys prices)

not to hijack or steal your thread but I figured I share a few Pic's of the HSR I bought this HSR for myself, but once I got it in hand I didnt like the Looks, So powdercoated it and Traded for a Complete SuperRam with RICKTPI

Thanks, and Again Looks great Man. post pic's of it in the Car.

Looks good, same color I powder coated mine. Here are some pics of it and my alternator I did. Heres my website if you want to see more I did. Joey's CB and Electronics

 

My engine finished after doing the red powder coat

 

That Stealth Ram is awesome... I wish I had one, looks mean as hell.

 

To answer the questions posted, the powder coating from Spohn runs $175. The engine was a custom tailored short block, not a crate engine. As for what it cost... well... many would say too much . There is sample pricing on Nu-tek's site http://www.nu-tekmotorsports.com

You didnt like the looks of the stealth ram so you got a superram? am i the only one here waiting for oscar the grouch to jump out of the top of a superam? that thing looks like a trashcan on top of an engine

 

Damm, $175. That what I do Complete TPI units for.

Id charge $120 for HSR's... Still yours looks Good.


Cobrakiller..

This is what I think They look like

Stealth Ram = TISSUE BOX.
SuperRam = Pizza Box.

Either way They are both nice units. Right now Im polishing the SuperRam then its off to get Triple Chrome Plated.

 

thems fightin words. we are local to each other, when you get that bad boy put in we need to meet up and run em some time, im going stealth ram too, motor is a 396ci as well, but with big pro action lightning aluminums, and a large cam. is your cam the XE? the stealth ram looks great btw, did you not know about enduro coatings in mesquite? or just helping out the sponsers of the site?

 

lmfao

 

I really gave thoughts to the pro action heads, but in the end I ordered the AFR's from Thunder Racing because they're a tried and true choice and I also support the advertisers whenever possible.

As for racing, it'll probably be a while before I finish getting the engine into the car. I had planned on pulling the engine and transmission this past weekend until I sprained my ankle and was unable to even walk . Even when I get back on track, this is going to be a slow process because I'll only be working on the weekends, and I have to pull the drivetrain, degrease, strip, primer, paint, and then rebuild front end components. THEN I can start the install process. After installation, I have to tune the beast and I'll confess that I am only a novice at PROM burning. So it'll be a while
