My 3400/3500 Build

[02GT_Skyhigh]

I got my tax return I could not pass up an amazing deal!
It was more than I wanted to spend on my car, but I plan on getting a 4 banger/gas getter soon so why not go for the stars with the GAGT?
I also ordered a Re-manufactured Rack and Pinion. I have no clue how Im going to get it in there but for $100 It was a good deal too.

I just recently put WOT-Tech Comp ported UIM/LIM's in, and I loved the added pull I got, minus tune. The new heads will be the back-bone to any other mod I have planned from now on. Headers were going to be next but there going to have to wait...


Right now I'm plan to be installing

3500 Heads
WOT-Tech Street/Strip Porting
Comp Cams 26986 Springs

3500 LIM
WOT-Tech Competition Ported
For 3400 Upper Intake

AND possibly a MP Racing PCM...
I just want the Shift kit.
I dont trust a mail order tune.....

Parts will be in my possession in 2 weeks, maybe less. I have a couple days to wait for another check. That damn waiting game.... Love my PS3 though!


I Tacked this up from stuff I got from WOT-Tech.
It looks like ~20 CFM +/-8 across the board!

You should consider the HPTuners setup for tuning before you go any further. I can help you get your setup tuned, especially if you get a wideband setup. I can do the shift kit program no problem. I should probably list generic tunes since I am capable of something basic on a mail order level. I need more local people, and more people with HPTuners on 60V6 engines.

[02GT_Skyhigh]

That is considerable, cause I am worried about going lean, I can feel it now right after second gear enguages at WOT. Jut for a second though

Hey Ben, Do you think it would be possible to have tourqe converter lock up in second gear on my 05 4T65E? once i order the parts from ya i'll be getting HPT, and hopfully paying you for atleast a good base tune.

[SappySE107]

You could change the settings to allow lockup in 2nd but I haven't tried it.

[bob442]

For a high stall converter it would work out friggin great while driving in the city. Now i can decide on going with a higher stall
270WHP and 28 MPG Here I Come!

Tuning wise i would stay away from mp racing.I spent 3 hundred dollars and still had to have my car retuned.I'll be doing the street/strip head porting aswell.Just let me know ben when i can send the 3500 heads and lower intake for you to port please.Good luck with the build

[bob442]

He probably has a set sitting and ready to go lol just send them to him now and when there done there done.

[SappySE107]

No I don't. I have porting jobs to do and we just got the air ran in the new shop last night. I can get back to work next week

[robert 1980]

Like i said to ben let me know when your ready.I don't want what he has laying around his shop.I would like to have my heads ported and sent back to me.I may still do pistons onces the engine gets pulled.But i won't know what size i need yet.Glad to hear things going well for you ben

[02GT_Skyhigh]

Small hold-up.
I was doing some cross checking and I now need 8mm rockers. My car is 02 and there 10mm. Good news I can have my 3400 heads complete.

[02GT_Skyhigh]

UPDATE!
Have everything pictured. I am getting head bolts today.
I cant find the temp sensor to thread into the 3500 head, every part store gets me one thats waay to big and they say its for the 3500 Pushrod motor.
And I still need 8mm rockers and Id like to do headers while I'm in there but I have been turned away from pacesh**ters. I will hopefully be installing it all in ~2 weeks

do I see a fram oil filter?

do I see a fram oil filter?

Would you kindly fill a newbb in?

[mfuller]

Would you kindly fill a newbb in?

Generally, they are not recommended due to poor construction (carboard used for the end cap).
Don't cheap out; get a good filter.
