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

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?

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

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...

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.

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

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".
