COZY Z COLE Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Dyno run video in the video section of the Gallery. This was a nice increase after fixing the restrictive flow from my headers. The collector was lowered into a horizonal pipe position and the frame rail was notched for the increased pipe diameter to the sidepipe. Next is a pulley change to go from 6lbs to 10lbs boost. I'm glad my R-230 is sitting in the garage. LARRY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleMX Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Looks stout! I love the instant throttle response of a supercharger! Go fry some rice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Meister Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 It looks like there isn't a tire in the world that could handle that instant torque curve of your Z. Good Job!!! Hanns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack46 Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Nice job! Im putting a couple LT1's in Z's one is NA and should be done in about a week. The other is supercharged and a 3.75 stroke 377 so should have a nice flat torque curve. Looking forward to getting em done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COZY Z COLE Posted January 17, 2005 Author Share Posted January 17, 2005 Thanks for the comments.... This is a great engine and tranny. The engine is a heavy duty 4-bolt block with Ductile iron caps. It's balanced and blueprinted, bored and honed with torque plates, block resurfaced/equal decked, line honed with ARP studs. Forged steel crankshaft 3.480 stroke, forged TRW blower pistons 4.030/ plasma-moly rings. ENGLE custom hyd. roller cam, special 441 Chevy heads/ ported and polished, stainless valves, bronze guides/hardened exh. seats and Z28 springs. TH350 trans with 2200 stall conv./ furnaced brazed, balanced with Torrington needle bearings and Raybestos blue metallic clutches. Transgo shift kit. I stomped it in first gear the other day and scared the HELL out of myself. I think I'll leave it in drive for now........ Gas mileage????? Don't care........
