Unlike the el tee juan!

 

Nice, an LS7... That's the very latest Corvette Z06 motor with titanium rods, a dry sump oiling system and just about every other race-bred gadget that a high buck sportscar should have. Not like the $50.00 6-bolt shortblock that I can yank from the u-pull-it around here that was produced in early '90 which as I mentioned earlier has had no problems holding 500 - 600whp stock! This was on a motor that laid down about 160ish whp when it rolled off the assembly line mind you.

I'm not totally ignorant about what's built here in the states

 

you're not trying to compare a focus to an evo, are you?

 

for those of you who like that 1980s Evo interior, the 1980s Firebirds and some Iroc-Zs came with Recaro's and my 1989 Celica has that cheap little clock in the dash gimik

 

Cheap----Reliable----Fast

DSMs got the Cheap-Fast components

 

then your water pump leaks, fries the opti, and your out another day and half worth of labor and however much it costs to replace it

btw, the only interior pieces my car was missing was a radio


now lets see...some things that caught my eye...a cam swap in a 4 cyl can yeild anything from a 10 whp gain to over 100 whp gain depending on your setup, a stock car would have little to gain...but a fully setup car going from stock cams to aftermarket cams will see a HUGE benefit

hey Vip, maybe you should sell that 302 and put a 4G63 in that foxbody...at least when it gets to 450 whp you wont have to worry about it splitting in half

 

every single dsm is unreliable and prone to crankwalk right? they can be reliable if you know what youre doing

 

im missing a square from when i used to have an safc, everything else is there

 

anything can be reliable if you know what your doing, but I draw the line when the door handles start falling off

 

well said
