Thank you, that was helpful!

This is a fun build. Out of curiosity, if you happen to be able to weigh the GT350 bumper without anything on it, I'd love to know the exact weight. I have a Speedkore full carbon bumper waiting to go on the car and wonder just how much weight savings is there. I'm betting it's only a pound or...

Cats are sold. I do still have the headers though.

There is naturally a lot of movement in the mount. I was surprised the first time I pulled the transmission to see how much it moved. With that being said I would not change from OEM unless you're also going to change to a cross-plane crank. You would create a ton of vibrations in the shifter...

I personally like Buttonwillow as a starter track but hadn't even thought about Streets of Willow since NASA doesn't go there almost ever. I'll be at the Oct 10/11 Buttonwillow NASA as an instructor and would be happy ride along with you for the day. I'll even do my damnedest to bug Mr...

Man that's way cooler than how I broke mine. For me I slipped on tile after wiping up olive oil with my sock as a dumb 20 year old. Feel better Kevin!

Oh I was just joking that Willow Springs is a terrifying track that'll make people shit their pants. No need to a race suit at this point, but I do find mine comfortable. Best if you're using them with a coolshirt because they get warm fast in Socal, especially when you're sitting on grid for 15...

Having instructed with NASA Socal for a few years here's what I'm seeing: General: 1. You're moving your hands a lot rather than keeping them at 9 and 3. For example, turn 1 you downshift with steering input and grab the bottom of the wheel. I'd recommend downshifting with as little steering...

5-6 week lead time lol They've had my motor since Sept 2024 and won't return emails. I had to go to a different builder for a new motor because I want to move on with my life.

Sent you a pm

Every CPC conversions I've seen is done with a 5.2 block. Also, the S550 GTs are all aluminum blocks.

I think you 100% made the right call to pull the motor when you did. Those bearings look as bad or worse than mine after it had let go, minus the set of bearings where the catastrophic failure happened. Seems like you did the right thing and got ahead of it. As far as RPG is concerned, it's...

Asking $2,000. This retails at $2,839 not including shipping and tax. This was never used other than to move the car twice sadly. Racetech's sizing guide showed that I'd need a wide and tall seat. I'm 6'2 with a 36 inch waste, but most of the height is in my legs making the harness holes a bit...

Asking $500. Another item I'm just cleaning off the shelves. This came off the motor at 8,500 miles when the motor let go. SoCal pick up only as this is another item that would be horrendous for a private party to ship.

Asking $800. These have about 8,500 miles on them. I took them off when the motor blew. They're in great shape, I've just had them in my garage for a while. Pick up in SoCal only as these would be miserable to ship and probably cost the buyer $800+ just in shipping costs.

I'd recommend listening to what @WItoTX said if you want to change things like the flywheel. I wouldn't touch that with the voodoo. It's too problematic. Also regarding the 2019+ engine, there's no actual data I've ever seen to indicate that they are more reliable. That will likely be...

I'll start this by saying Will is a very nice guy and I think his intentions are well-placed. With that being said, RPG has had my engine for a year to diagnose and fix a cracked head. The cracked head was pre-existing when I bought it we discovered. He took it back, no questions asked which I...

Boy am I familiar with that. When I got my first replacement engine it was exactly that. I've been waiting so long for the builder to address the issues that I've given up and decided to go just buy a new engine and do the conversion now. So you've found the GT350 intake is limiting then? I've...

First off, I love your attention to detail in this thread. I love reading a good long update, especially when it pays off in the end like it seems it has! I'm now in sort of the same boat as you. I've officially signed myself up to a CPC conversion. Outside of re-pinning the harness, was there...

Four people I know in socal, mine included, have blown up. Three are gen 2s. One of them is on their third engine as well. As a fellow Californian maybe he just hasn't had his state-mandated allotment of granola today. I often forget mine, but I can barely stay hydrated so what do I know.
