I'm now looking to purchase one of those vacuum bleeders for refilling my radiator fluid as was looking at this one on amazon.

Amazon.com: Robinair 75260 Coolant Refiller with Air Lock Preventer: Automotive

Anyone recommend a certain brand or model?

COSMO 01-29-2014 03:41 PM

After much debate I decided on this model.
UVIEW 550500 AirLift II Economy Cooling System Refiller : Amazon.com : Automotive

Nice. Let us know how it works.

Got a call from vsr and they have the heads off and starting the engine bore today then off for the cryo treatment. I also ordered the KDT911 Whiteline Rear Diff Mount Bushing Kit from z1 to stop the wheel hop...Will post up pics as soon as he sends them...

The diff bushings made a big difference. Definitely hooks up better and there is less slope in the rear end on shifts. At the moment I'm still NA so I'll leave wheel hoping determination for those with real power.

Are you leaving the heads alone?

COSMO 02-04-2014 10:35 AM

Yeah, from what I've read the heads flow pretty good already...:tup:

That's what it looked like to me. And from the thread where the guy who did cams and heads (Navyboy something or other) there was a lot of non reuseable VVEL parts that were expensive as hell.

Can we start throwing out wild *** guesses as far as power? I'll take 615.

COSMO 02-04-2014 10:42 AM

I'm with you 600whp is enough for me considering our cars don't hook up well anyway. Hoping to be up and going in a few months...:driving:

Yeah, until we figure out how to get the rear camber right, it's all **** measurement over 450whp or so until you get halfway through 3rd. :rofl2:

Are you using OEM bearings? I recently learned ACL has main bearings and thrust washers for our engines. No rod bearings though.

COSMO 02-04-2014 10:55 AM

OEM bearings...

I still can't get over gtm not going with a better fuel pump than that walbro 255 with the stage II kit considering it's just a bit more.

Chuck33079 02-04-2014 11:41 AM

I've used a Walbro in every boosted car I've modified. I've never had any problems with one other than the fact it's not particularly quiet. I wish I had gone with the Aeromotive upgrade, but the Walbro seems to be just enough pump for a stock block kit.

It would have been nice if there was some headroom built into the kit, though. Everything seems to be "just enough".
