im doing it

[imjustinlampe]

looks like im goin to be doin an le2 heads cam intake on the ta... so car will be down for a while.. any one have any comments or suggestion?

[KirkEvil]

Get long tube headers first. and a case of wd40

Make sure you have absolutely everything you need to do the install before tearing your car apart. You will run into problems that delay getting it all together and you dont want everything scattered. sammich bags with labels help too.

[JerzLT1]

get LTs like already stated, dont install that LT4 intake (no gains), get LE to port your stocker or buy my stocker thats ported for LE2s by LE (has 37# injectors too), label everything (like already stated), oh and take your budget and multiply it by 1.5 and you should be good.

[imjustinlampe]

yeah the car is sitting all apart(no worries i know where everything goes), and im going to go with lpp long tubes, im going to order them while the heads are getting machined... and budget wise, i know what im in for but itll be worth it and well bc i work at a dealer, i can get discounts on parts that i need so its all good =)

[MyFirstZ]

nice, might have to hit you up if i do the ls6 heads and cam one day! lol

good luck

Replace the basic stuff while your in there. Recommend a new timing set if you don't already have that factored in.

[imjustinlampe]

planned to do that while im in there also planned on new ignition plugs wires opti, water pump, timimg, and resealing the engine.. i have a few oil leaks..

[imjustinlampe]

how do i post pics ?

[RamAir95TA]

Have you also considered AI?

[LTb1ow]

yut yo... can o worms, open.

lulz.

How is your suspension setup?

And new timing set for the most part means EWP time.
Tune?

[imjustinlampe]

didnt check out ai untill now and i like what i see, and well now im debating ... any suggestions?

[LTb1ow]

Both will perform great. In this thread you got two guys running LE stuff and one guy running AI.

Give em both a call, explain your goals/budget and compare. Give your money to the guy you feel will best earn it.

[imjustinlampe]

coulnt have said it better... thanks (lts1ow)

[imjustinlampe]

so i feel like i should know this... but when i do the heads/intake what should i do as far as the gaskets go? and also if the exhaust ports are larger, wont the headers have a stock port diameter

[LTb1ow]

Say what?

Send your heads/intake to either Lloyd or AI and they will take care of all that. Exhaust ports will not be changed, regular gaskets will work fine for them.

[imjustinlampe]

ok, thanks well im goin to give both a call, and then decide who to go with... ill keep ya updated

[LTb1ow]

Cool, and like I said, the three guys in this thread all trap above 115, so the combos def work.

And another option not mentioned yet, is JS perf, I am pretty sure he does head/intake porting too.

[imjustinlampe]

well i spoke to le today, we have a cam picked out discussed pricing what i need to ship ect ect ect... looks like illl be doin an le2 set up very soon =)

[JerzLT1]

i had my LE2s re-ported by Josh from JS. if i had to do it over again i wouldve had Josh do them in the first place. call him and see what he has to say as well.

[imjustinlampe]

jerzlt1, why did u have them re ported?

can u give me some more details and thoughts

[LTb1ow]

jerzlt1, why did u have them re ported?

can u give me some more details and thoughts

He is building some sort of race car for racing or something... :rofl:

[JerzLT1]

jerzlt1, why did u have them re ported?

can u give me some more details and thoughts

for better flow and because i like straight lines....

[sweetbmxrider]

did you get new flow numbers?

[imjustinlampe]

well i know im going to regret it... but im honestly at the point where i dont care any more... i think im goin to just re seal the motor, change the wires(i have a burned wire), and sell the car... im not sure why im doing this but i think its what im goin to do.. i guess i fix cars at work.. i fix cars at home.. im tired of doin it.. im lettin both my cars go..(nissan and my trans am)... i wanna buy a car i wont modify..

[sweetbmxrider]

sucks man, gotta go through the ups and downs though to get to the good part.

[imjustinlampe]

i know yr right... but right now... i just feel like i need to change things you know... idk... maybe ill just keep the bird sell the nissan and drive a beater for a while

[imjustinlampe]

well i have come to my senses... altho im getting rid of my motorcycle, im definitly keeping the trans am... i guess i was just having one of those hectic crazy moments in life.. oh well im over it
anyway heads should be goin out this saturday

[sweetbmxrider]

[imjustinlampe]

[Blackbirdws6]

Sweet! Good luck with the build. Make sure to take a bunch of pics during the install.

[LTb1ow]

[imjustinlampe]
