The motor already built? I know you just dropped it in your jeep recently. I will be running 275/315 Delinte's here soon but might have to run NT05r drag radials for you lol. But I should have my cam installed here pretty soon
CAI (my noise maker lol), 87mm TB, Jet 180 Tstat, Custom tune, Magnaflow mids with high flow cats, Corsa Catback. Soon to have PPP stage 2 cam and maybe ported heads depending on money. Tires right now I'm running Nitto 420's but will be running Delinte D8 275 up front and 315 in the back. Suspension wise I will have BWoody track bar and end links, and the addco sway bar (Jeff had dibs on the SRT bar if he want lol). I'm currently stuck at 4.0 0-60. Once I can get some better traction on launches (spin quite a bit) Ill definitely be under 4.0.
Think I got a decent deal on this. Got the manifold, injectors, fuel rails, and new gaskets for $475! All with just under 5000miles. Wanted it so I can port and polish it and slap it on when I do my cam here soon.
Finally ordered my end links in red with zerk fittings. Once I get them I will install them along with my Addco sway bar. All that is left on the suspension for me is the Eibach drop springs and QA1 rear shocks.
So after contemplating my cam install for quite some time I decided to save some more money and do heads and cam at the same time. Trying to decide between PPP stage II heads and stage II cam vs Mean Street heads and PWR stage II cam. I thought about the lil' boy cam but I'm looking for something a little more aggressive.
Well if your taking apart 1/2 the accessories then you might as well just remove the radiator, and pull the motor. It's just a motor swap. Lol I've done it
From where? 426 short block is about $3,000 heads are about $2,500 ported intake is about $700. Now I need a trans because the stock NAG1 only supports that kind of power for a short time so there is another $4,000 for an SHR trans. Don't have that kind of money floating around.
Quick pic of the end links, sway bar, and energy suspension bushing installed. Sorry it's so dirty, was raining for like 5 days straight lol. Also ordered my Stage6 adjustable rear shocks.
So this weekend I got my front and rear sway bar endlinks on, rear Addco sway bar on, and my black rims back on. I tried out my new red lug nuts but I think Im going to switch them back to black. Also carbon fiber wrapped my center caps to match the rest of my wrapped trim.
Doing some odds and ends bs today on the beast. Cleaned up the engine bay (weekly cleaning) and cleaned the interior. Was going to wash today but it's too hot and no cloud cover. Also became a lifetime member today!
