Shes all button up now just need to install valve covers, intake and accessory. Time to break open the trans to do upgrades.

Easy part upgrading some vital parts in trans
Quick run down I got ls1 upgrade kit and beast sunshell from PBA aka probuilt have dual cage sprag also unsure if they upgraded it or not
trans only had 5000 miles since stock rebuilt and as expected no surprises internals look amazing , finish up trans tommorrow

Re: Craigslist Searching + My Apartment Room + LSx = ?????
Yea almost done , Ive been trucking along since I PCS to my new command have alot more time to work in her vs having no time at all at the hospital she been sitting way to long, im anxious to drive her already with all the upgrades especially the brakes
I sent it to ls1customtune , the only reason I got mail order is because I got 42lb injectors and FIC sent tune data for them so just needed to be uploaded to PCM , and so i can break in engine, but I will be going to get a full dyno tune
As for the tranny at first I thought it was overwhelming but I slap my self and jump in , but its actually really really easy and not that bad there's not that many moving parts, hardest part for me was removing the snap rings on the input drum shaft .

Re: Craigslist Searching + My Apartment Room + LSx = ?????
i drove my build for 2500 miles on a frost tune before she saw the rollers. you should be good to go!
i hear ya on the slap and go approach. it's kind of like rebuilding a q-jet carb, just get after it.

Re: Craigslist Searching + My Apartment Room + LSx = ?????
Thanks tuned performance
Was your mail order far off from dyno tune , maybe I'm being overly cautious but Im little worried about stepping on it and risk some bad stuff , but I do want to give a good break in before the dyno is another worry also , the cam isnt that crazy its 228/230 112lsa intake/exhuast is like .603 so its pretty mild seen 228r cams run on stock tune decently and drive on it for awhile before tune
q jet carb that would need a slap lol and a getter done

Re: Craigslist Searching + My Apartment Room + LSx = ?????
mine was rich, i was worried about washing the cylinders down, but apparently it wasn't that far off. i treated it like a borrowed mule on more than one occasion and she held together. i didn't see any numbers before he did the street tune(it wasn't put on the rollers), but i bet it was over 30hp down. we picked up 20-25hp working it out on the dyno. driveability was much better after the dyno session, it was a whole new animal. my cam is a 230/232 so you should be ok!

Re: Craigslist Searching + My Apartment Room + LSx = ?????
Yea I think it's 20 or 30 something for front and rear I'm not sure exactly
I'm running custom adapters front is about 1/2 inch rear is a little under 1"
I'm most then likely going to go 10.5 width up front instead of 9.5 now just trying to get up and running

Re: Craigslist Searching + My Apartment Room + LSx = ?????
Well had little scare and was second guessing if i put oil barbell and front oil galley plug
Was cranking with out plug and fuel and was getting no oil pressure was cranking for about 10 sec about 15 times was doing 5sec crank yesterday about 10 times no oil pressure so pulled dash apart , pulled valve covers etc was about to pull pulley off and drop trans
So after being frustrated and installing GC, clean garage up and wax the caddi and removing crossmember to prep for cutting
i try and crank again and i seen the oil psi jump up to about 30 ish while cranking , what a relief lol
