RE: My z6 Turbo Build
yah, 3 inches is prolly overkill, 2.5 would be fine, and a 2.5 inch intercooler is cheeper too. as for HP goals, im looking for 250+, and yah i know it needs a bath, im striping it right now, and then ill have the block boiled, just so its clean inside and out.

lol, deffinatly using elbo grease, its just tuff cause its sitting on the floor ands i cant brace it very well, i got some pb blaster on there, letting it sit, and went at it with the breaker bar and a ten foot pole, but like i said i cant brace it anywhere, ive got to go to work today, but ive got tommorrow off from school, so maby ill wedge it under somthing and try again, oh and i took off the head today, and the cylenders look great, amost no scoring, only one or 2 lil virticle scratches total, and, i can still actually see the hone marks, this thing has been babyed

Try DSM 450 injectors. They are teh cheap.
Alsoget a zex or similar cam if you can afford it. It's cheap for the gains. I'm hoping to grab an Akmee cam next winter when they re-run their holiday special (funds/progress pending).
Get a new timing belt also.

deffinatly a good thing, i would rather be reminded a hundred times, then run in to problems down the road
i was also talking to my friend at work, and he works for a company that builds and repairs fire engines, once i get it down to the block, hes gonna take it for me, steam blast it, and then an acid wash it
