J/k, but after seeing Kirkevil's thread on painting the valve covers I decided it's time to clean up my engine bay a little, especially since everyone was complaining about how dirty it was at the meet.:-? But I'd say the valve covers were pretty dirty.(Untouched on the left, partially prepped one on the right)

And how they look currently...

nice looking valvetrain for almost 200k miles. man is there anything an ls motor cant do? :wink:



looking good man. that should go good with your ''cam'' :lol::rofl:

I know, I was kinda waiting to see a partially broken spring or something. I've hit the 6200 rpm rev limiter a couple times and was kinda worried. With the noisy valve train stock, I didn't know if anything was broken. I think I might pull the pushrods tomorrow before I piece it back together to see how they look.

[LTb1ow]

Looks good Vinnie. Now take some elbow grease and cleaner to the rest of the engine bay! ;)

Mine is noisy to but if something was wrong wou would notice a power loss.

hmm the valvetrain on my t/a isnt noisey. and thats with many hard miles with me driving it lol. only time i had noise was when i broke a valvespring and it ran rough and the other was when i bent a pushrod lol. nice valvecovers btw

it definately wouldnt hurt to pull the pushrods. and they rockers get torqued to 22ftlbs

[NJ346]

Finished product....

Just curious why are you reving a stock ls1 to 6200? Have you looked at a power curve ???? But anyway the painted valve covers look nice.

Rev limiter is set at 6200, I never said that's what I always shift at:roll:

[01blackz28]

Oh now I get it. Almost........ Wait not really. A stock cam peaks power a 5500 rpm. By 6000 rpm the car is making the same power which it is making at 4600 rpm. So what sense would it make to have a rev limiter set at 6200? The drop off in power is huge. So let me ask you why is your rev limiter set at 6200??? Or are you that bad of a driver :mrgreen: ???

[NastyEllEssWon]

my guess would be some nasty burnouts or crazy spinning off the line a few times in first when he first got the car :nod:

hmm....lets see, there are mutliple reasons one would have a rev limiter set to 6200. 1) The place that dyno tuned the car upped the rev limiter to that without me asking. 2) If I ever run 4:10's with a 26 inch tall tire I will be able to finish the 1/4 just before 6200. Please stop posting in my thread. Atleast when I make fun of someone's **** I post under the same name and don't hide behind a different username. :loser:

That would be correct. First few times at the track I got to learn how slow the LS1 tach really is on the launch. I was hitting rev limiter when the tach was reading ~5600.

A. Any reputable shop will not adjust the rev limiter to 6200 without asking.
B. You might want to use a gear calculator, 4.10 + 26" tire + 6200 = 117 mph
which you will not achieve with a bolt on car.
C. I don't hide behind any username everything posted is under here.
D. My daily driver on a street tire has run faster then your best on radials with skinnies.

A.The shop that did the tune was TTP in pasiac which has had their shop car in the 8's compared to your car that runs 10's.

B.You are wrong about a bolt-on car not reaching 117, maybe you should actually race at the track instead of keyboard racing.

C. I wasn't talking about on here, I was talking about your comments posted on a youtube video that was linked on here 2 months back.

D. ****ing bring that dud down here and let's line em up.

there's plenty of bolt on cars trapping over 117

Cause, um you need your rev limiter set at like 4500, and ride that SOB all the way down the track. Der.

Exactly mike. This guy is pathetic pulling up threads from ages ago just trying to prove me wrong. Ron has trapped 118+ with bolt-ons. And I have seen several cars trap 116 close to full weight.

[LTb1ow]

Woah, your making my posts look intelligent here buddy. Vinnie just mentioned their car to prove they know their ****. And you were the one that said it ran a 9.9 and now its down to an 8 sec car? Woah.

Prob a distance thing, Vinnie is closer to Atco. No sense in driving farther than you have too.

[NJ346]

I can't legally run there without the paper work that I never filled out(Atco doesn't care that I'm 17), in another month I'll be fine with etown, but until then...Atco it is.

Pft, REAL cars don't have AC :lol:

well according to Tsar, it's not my car anyway.:lol:

that's because I'm on stock clutch. If your not putting the power to the ground your not going to trap 117. :moon: The car will have a clutch in it within the next month.

Now your a real idiot...cause my car wasn't dyno'd at TTP...it was Dyno'd at ECS....and with all my bolt on's made power to 5800....but your still a tool....cause if you wanna look up what people are commonly running with bolt ons a 117 mph is pretty common....

So you have a car that was worked on by your brother the shop owner and talented tuner that is quicker than a 17 year old doing it on his own? Whoopity doo, what kind of cookie would you like with your badge of super awesomeness?

Ringing LS1's, even with mileage on them, past the factory rev limiter with bolt ons is a common practice. They are strong motors and they stay together for a long time.

If or when Vinnie decides to change the rev limiter it will be fine for him. Now stop posting in threads if all you are gonna do is stir **** up.
