Slybeast Is Getting Some Work

[Slymeat]

Ok the car is back in at the tuners, this time it is getting atomic valve springs, atomic oil pump gears, new ford timing chain guides, atomic hd timing chain, intune flex plate, and a custom harmonic balancer. Next thing will be the truetrak when money permits.

[PookeyMaster]

Is this going after more power or just stability and reliability? It doesn't look like those mods would give you more than 10 or 20 extra kw

[Slymeat]

Not after more power, just safety...

[TomT]

Whats the new engine bits costing you? Is that what you've been told you need to make reliable at low 400s?

[Slymeat]

Price is around 2500 for parts labour is an unknown, my car is evolving piece by piece these are the parts I believe will give me peace of mind...

[Slymeat]

Ok car is back and its bloody raining, tuner wants to add more boost now, I told him no for now have to wait for the driveshaft and lsd to be done if I am going to have any hope of driving it.

[BenDoCo]

I understand the tailshaft but why the LSD?

Is it just for traction or the extra strength as well

reason for q is that I have been advised that it's a good idea for what my car will end up being but,,,,,,,,,,,,I love the single spinner

[Slymeat]

Cant put the power to the ground in the dry with anything above 3000 rpm and half throttle.....

[BenDoCo]

that's what I was (basically) told would happen when I do the second lot of mods and was advised to do it now when I get the first lot done to help spread the total cost better over the two.

the bloke that's gunna do my car does have his head screwed on right - full of confidence now

cheers Sly
