One good thing happened just yesterday, though. The CGC test I took was scored wrong! I did pass one of the three sections, so I only have to back to do 15hrs in stead of 20!

Hardly opened any books for the project management, studied the buss./law - go figure...
I'm pretty sure I'll make it Wed, but the rest of my parts are going to be here/finished by next week...
I can smell the race fuel in my boosted 'Bird already!

Damn! I got my car back from the tranny shop, and it leaks more now than it did when I brought it there... It runs strong as hell though. Gotta bring it back to them first thing monday morning. The ole' lady says that I can't go to moroso because I got bills, but we'll see about that.

hey john. Im goin to moroso this wednesday. I think I am going a little bit early though. Give me a call. Curious.... Do you have a factory battery? If so, did it pass tech inspections? Hit me up

. The code 33 keeps showing up with no vac leaks, just might be low vacuum with the high lift?! Don't know if the code will cause my performance to dwindle (what little there is already, lol) but I don't want to drive all the way up there to break something (even though I have AAA, haha).

1.7?!?! 24#?!?! Damn! You must be getting ready for that turbo!!! Can you tell a difference in the "butt" dyno? Hoping that I run low 14s. That would be awesome. I don't know how I am going to launch or if I should ratchet shift it with the B&M. I don't know. Well if you are gonna come up. hit me up on the nextel or something. I have you in my phone.

Yeah, she's runnig **** tonight! Test and tune will be nice, cause I really will be tuning, lol. Don't have the mix perfect yet, but getting there. Yes some better response, I felt myself moving much further back in the seat on my test drive today. Crane claims the 1.6 gives a 30% power increase, don't know for the 1.7's. I doubt that's true, but we will see tom. Just hope it doesn't rain this week. Although I still have my ticket from 2 weeks ago and I was there for the announcement for a rain check, so I should get in free. Probably be there around 9pm (kids in bed at 8).
.
EDIT : I'm hoping for high/mid 16's. lmao

i'm not sure if rockers add 30%, i allways thought it was they added 30 thousandths more lift. but even then i've seen it more than that and sometimes a little less.
ex. .320 lobe lift:
1.5 = .480
1.6 = .512
1.7 = .544
(above based on a correct installed height spring, pushrod length, etc...)
just .2 , i wouldnt want anyone banking on a 30% false sense of hope thats all good sir. on a 250hp motor, that would be a 75hp gain.... if thats the case i would put rockers on my peanut cammed '91ta and call it a day

Here's what the AD stated...
.
.
COMP Cams® Magnum Roller Rockers™ are the ultimate street rocker. That’s because they were designed with the serious performance enthusiast in mind. They will help your engine make more power and last longer. Magnum Roller Rocker Arms™ are:
STRONG
Magnum Roller Rocker Arms™ are made from 8620 chromemoly steel. This makes them stronger than die cast aluminum or stamped steel rockers. This superior material, along with the Magnum’s super stiff design, assures maximum lift because this rocker arm will not flex.
ACCURATE
You can’t get maximum horsepower from your engine if your rocker ratio is off. We checked other rockers and found rockers that were as much as .040” short on lift. The Magnum Rockers™ are super Accurate. They check dead on every time.
POWERFUL
The Magnum Roller Rockers™ can make between 15 and 30 horsepower over other rockers! Why? The secret is that not only does the roller tip reduce friction, the Magnum Rockers™ incredibly stiff design and super accurate ratios yield more effective valve lift.
DURABLE
The roller tip design reduces friction by not scrubbing the valve end or pushing the valve stem hard against the valve guide. This in conjunction with super strong design of the rocker makes for a simple, bulletproof, and cost effective combination.

Kinda hard to drive a beltless car on the street... them batteries eventually do go dead even though Im running 2. I will probably go.... napa has a coupon that lets you get in to watch for 5$.
Yea, my shop built the engine, theyre gonna take care of it just gotta let them know. Heck, when the engine tweaked them valves they took care of it no problem.
I think its the manifold or the head gasket.

I've got a 89 (i think) 350 short block out of a suburban. It would probably need new everything, just the block is good. Best offer.
