Okay I basically have a stock Pontiac G8 GT that I have the opportunity to have fun with! Bought it with 30k miles:
currently I have flow master exhaust (mid pipe back), and a sweet ass transformers oil fill cap! lol :grin2:
I have debated for 2 weeks now: trying to decide if I would like to do a twin turbo or a procharger! after reading more and more and more into it. I have found out that its just not that easy: so now I have decided between the two!
I'm going to do neither! lol I would like to do a N/A build all motor! (don't have the $$ for turbo or procharger yet)
I WOULD LIKE TO GET AROUND 550 TO 600 rwhp all motor!
good news is labor will be free! my father has a shop. but I'm sure he will make me do all the wrenching! lol (plus I heard a turbo or procharger on a weak motor isn't very good!)
I'm not sure what I need. I'm also not sure what I'm looking for. someone told me they have a cam for sale. they sent me this.
"BTR LS7 STG2 230/246 .644 .632 lobe 115.0"
I have no clue what that means. other then BTR name brand:
with full access to the shop I don't need to have a set budget to knock it all out at once: I can build as I go: but I don't want to spend a fortune!
MY GOALS:
GET MY HEADS DONE: (not sure what I need to do to them)
going to keep stock intake for now: possibly a vararam in the future
GOING TO DO A CAM (but have no clue how to choose which cam I want or where to get it from)
I PLANNED ON CHEAP HEADERS (pacesetters someone told me wasn't expensive
IM NOT SURE WHAT I WANNA DO WITH THE BOTTOM END: IM JUST NOW SEARCHING AND TRYING TO LEARN WHAT I CAN DO TO HELP WITH THE TOP END: BUT I ALSO SEEN THAT MY CAR CAN SUPPORT 600 TO 700 HP WITH THE BOTTOM END AND TRANS STOCK?
(in the future I would like to build the bottom end as well)
REAR END/DRIVE SHAFT/ FUEL SYSTEM I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT I CAN DO TO HELP WITH HP:
This will be my daily driver
I want more HP overall (I wouldn't mind having a sleeper)
Not to sure how fast I really need for the streets but that will be my main focus.
Yes I will take it down the drag strip: but I don't want a full time drag car..
what are some of your setups? if you can give me complete specs of each mod you have done would be awesome! because I don't no what I'm doing!!!! ex. HEADS (what did you do to the heads?)
feel free to treat and or talk to me like I'm dumb! I'm willing to learn anything that I should or possibly already know!
detailed responses are very welcome! please help! ha-ha thanks everyone! :nerd:
