  • i want something like james' setup got a link to his mods

    does anyone have a link to the page where it says what james did to his motor? I'm betting 1.9 rockers, retainers, and LS6 Springs.. I want to do a 75 shot but i want to see what else james did to makie his engine safe.. Thanks..

    look in the media section...DEEP SIX ..they cover a lot of the things done to his car...and his experience with them...there are also a lot of pics if you go to the link in his sig...but you can run a 75 shot stock (stock motor, timing, you might just want to gap the plugs at .035) ;) ..i dont believe he upgraded his pump until he went over 100...and he still runs on stock timing/motor..so do i and i run a 120 dry shot now (with upgraded pump/plugs) [img]smile.gif[/img]

      also keep in mind that james's car doesn't wiegh anything and that is one of the main reasons he is so friggin quick. if you run a 75 shot you shouldnt "need" to upgrade you engine, however it is always a good idea.

          dangerous v6 do you have a screenname or anything? I was axtually born in albany and I lived in Troy before it got uncontrolably crappy..

          anywah i have some platinum 4s i think theyre called
          they have four tips on the bottom of the plugs.. anyone recommend a kit for
          N2O and also what did he do to his valve trane.. I'm getting rockers, and ls6 springs, will that help? I also have a spare set of heads that I want to modify for a cam.. (porting, 130lb springs) But I think i'll need headers and a TC before i can do it all.. Thanks

            hey man..thats awesome [img]smile.gif[/img] ...i actually live right across the hudson river from the plaza in rensselaer...but like anyone's gonna know where rensselaer is right?? lol ..and yeah..troy is even worse now...it used to be a murder a few times a year or whatever...now its like every night..like its nothing new...craziness...im in a nice part of rensselaer...more up by east greenbush...but i can still hear plenty of gun shots coming from the sh*tty streets

            anyways...i dont have s/n but i check my email all the time...i wouldnt go with platinum...some people say their fine...others dont use them...i havent had luck at all with platinum...id get a set of NGK TR6 plugs definitely...those plugs REALLY last...i would go with NOS kit# 5175...definitely...its a standard dry kit that includes a lot of safety features...the only safe way to run wet on our cars..especially if you're not used to nitrous...is direct port...and thats a LOT of dough...James runs wet but has boat loads of experience obviously...im not exactly sure what James had done to his valvetrain and cant really offer advice there because i havent modified mine...however...if you're looking into getting a cam and you KNOW you're gonna get nitrous...go with a cam that is made to run with nitrous like the nitrous HP cam from comp cams...comp cams has some good ones for this...you can get them through www.summitracing.com or right from comp cams at www.compcams.com ..the ZZP GT cam also says it will run very well with nitrous.. www.zzperformance.com ..you definitely want a high flow exhaust..headers are optional..i dont have them...but think of getting them...and you wont need a TC either...but its nice to have [img]smile.gif[/img]

                sweeeeet...yeah the GT2 would probably work nicely too ...just cant go TOO high on the stock injectors since the nitrous kit will be utilizing them too [img]smile.gif[/img]
