pushrod mods for 2k5

[Froggx]

saw a post of similar title over in dohc perf. and had to ask

What do we have in store for our little valve deprived 6-bangers this year?

As for mine, if I ever get it back together:
(start with a 3400)
Slightly ported upper and lower manifolds
Lightly p&p heads
Manifold back exhaust
CAI
Underdrive pulley (no power steering to boot)
3500 plenum w/ 65mm TB
LS6 Valve Springs
180F thermostat
Upgraded injectors
Custom chip
Custom cam regrind

And if my savings account recovers quickly enough I could be seeing a little gauge that says "10 psi" on my dash by august along with a drastic increase in performance.

So what are you doing? Go ahead and post up.

RE: pushrod mods for 2k5

buying another car to drive daily first and formost

-pulling the motor out of the camaro

-installing the 3300 RPM stall torque converter that i got off ebay over a year ago, but have been afraid of on a car that gets a lot of highway miles

-putting my new poly lower control arm bushings in to try to defeat the wheel hop i keep getting

-using a megasquirt computer tune the car

- possibly spray the shit outta the stock motor till it breaks

- possibly assemble my 3.4L/3400 hybrid.. not sure if i will have the $$ for it this summer or not

the car itself will go through a massive transformation in handling, interior and exterior, mostly be later this year

-koni yellow adjustable struts
-urethane bushings
-92+ j body front brakes (or mabey caddy sts brake swap)
-figure out a rear disk swap (daytona mabey)

interior

exterior

Just roller rockers on my 3.4 crate. Maybe Crane, maybe Comp Cams. Nice to have all of the pros and cons and how tos here.

Hedman Headers with new 2.5" exhaust. Fageol Supercharger whenever 614 gets em in stock. Did the Traction bars last weekend that was a pretty sweet mod.

As we speak I am working on a full rebuild of my Getrag. I bought a 8lb flywheel and this week comes a Spec Stage 2 clutch. I already have new OEM cables waiting too.

I also worked out a deal with Rebel to take his TGP setup. It includes everything including a Saab intercooler and BOV. I am fairly certain it will crack the 14.0 mark at 10psi.

i'm a loser. i just to want to get my car started again, should be easy if i get off my butt and put a screw or two in, couple gaskets, the plenum, and a working icm and coil. fresh gas and the old 2.8 should be good to go. then if my mental state isn't to severely threatened, i'll finally swap in the 3.1 I built. If the gods smile upon me i'll build a 3x00. if fate conspires against me, i'll just get my J started, sell my T/A to pay off my debts and spend whatevers left on gas and dissapear.

[Cliff8928]

Can the mod list include a new lower intake gasket? I'm thinking of that one just because there's about 35,000 miles on the original 1999 gasket. Also I *NEED* a new trans, and hope to acquire a Torsen sometime in the near future. Then it's just some visual re-freshening and enhancements.
