m-rod's 99 GTZ

[Ivory8g]

Very interested to see how this will turn out results wise.

[M-Rod]

Tonight the journey begins...

[Black8GV6]

^yes!

[GTMitsu]

what?

[Voodoo]

What is first on the agenda, Matt? What kind of manifolds and piping will you be using?

[M-Rod]

First on the agenda will be getting the 3.8 out of my garage so I have some room to work with. Then I get to drop a different engine in, so that the hot side can be built. I'll be using fed spec exhaust manifolds, but everything else will be custom designed by Justin. We're going to try something new with my setup. It should be very efficient.

[Voodoo]

Awesome man! I can't wait to see what you guys come up with!

[GTMitsu]

Where is your 3.8 going? Hmmmm

[mysticj]

The MN crew always doing awesome...

[M-Rod]

Just a little collection in the corner of my garage.

But the real performance comes from that stocker strut and spring.

Please let me know if you are NOT doing custom cams =) The guy that balanced my engine says he get custom cams done for me for around $800, he needs my head for maximum lift tolerance of rockers etc though.

Can't wait to see this get done Matt!

That's TOO high! Should be around 350-400 dollars for regrinds.

[keith6110]

Isn't regrind using and existing cam and not a blank as I'm referring to? Orrr is a regrind made from a new camshaft blank?

I'm pretty sure he doesn't need my existing cams at all and making a completely new part.

[M-Rod]

3.0, 3.5, or 3.8? Which one will it be?

[Galantman03]

well I have seen 2 of them in pictures before so I'm assuming the new one is a 3.5, so 3.5!

[RedGalant2k1]

All of them?

[M-Rod]

Going to try something different this time. I'll join a league of only a few cars that I know of that have run all 3 relevant SOHC 6G7's. This time it'll be the 6G74 with a nice little overbore and all forged internals.

[M-Rod]

Next step complete. 6G74-equipped.

[M-Rod]

Pre-turbo hot side piping. Ready for fabrication.
