Thanks man yes we do, if I remember correct we met at last year's pcs meet in Washington pa at that ice rink. I posted in another thread saying since your so close if you wanna come by sometime let me know but you must not of seen it lol.

Just tell the wife "but hun I need this or it may break down"

I will be at shows this summer for sure so if you can't make it up I hope to meet up at some shows. Ever consider GM nationals in june? It's in carlisle pa and is by far my favorite show.

If you go into my profile and click the link that says find threads started by me you can see my trans build it's really good reading and a wow factor as well.... to me at least

 

I'm graduating college in May and ill finally have some extra cash to finally get serious with my Monte, so Carlisle will more than likely be on my to-do list. As long as it doesn't interfere with the Super Nats on June 21st in Salem, OH LOL You should see if you can make it out, make a pass or two down the quarter with that bad girl

 

June 21st is GM nats weekend lol

 

ugghh!! I must go drag racing lol there will probably be another opportunity though

 

Very nice Monte you got there.what is the size of the exhaust tube on the headers?

 

Honestly don't remember the size of the collectors but there angled vs like the plog where there straight. That's the main flow difference

 

i got me PAC 150# valve springs and got them installed, also got the tb and alt installed and fired her up for the first time. this was all done a while ago now and ive been trouble shooting other issues but figured i would keep this post alive with an update and some more pics lighting was crappy but still worth sharing pics








and of course a video to go with it all of the first start up on this build turn up your speakers to max and enjoy the wonderful noises

 

Your Monte is such a beast! Very nice job! I can't wait to see what kind of numbers you get with this thing.

 

thanks man! had her out a bit today cruising around making sure everything was working as should and so far so good. im maxing the maf at like 50% throttle but i can scale it with the afc and a tune which will all be done this saturday on the dyno. i did make a little pull against a 99-04 mustang gt today (70mph-110mph) and even at 50%-55% throttle maxing the maf and flooding in fuel i pulled on him easily so im very excited to see what the tune is going to do! it already feels fast not even tuned i know that

 

Hey hey hey John, you did it again. Cool, glad to know your Turbo Monte is back on the road. I bet you easily pulled on the GT stang, lol, wish I could have been there, it's so fun smoking peeps and then as fun when you get into a real brawl with a contender. Gives you the pucker factor as things get in the higher speed levels.

I'm interested to see what your dyno results are going to be, know you have done so much to get your engine power / torque levels up there. Bet the numbers will be quite astonshing, I'm nervous as to know where your finally going to hit...

Nice you had her out cruising, had to be a wonderful feeling having a healthy car, once she is dialed in, bet your cruises will be 10 times more enjoyable as you won't have to be holding back.

The throttle body and alternator bling factor is way up there. very very nice finishing touch. Whay didn't you mention this before I had mine all back together, now I have to pull everthing back off... LOL, no, jk, thats your touch. But I am jealous, F'n A... Your new turbo looks awesome sitting there. Had to be fun having her come to life and made you feel like the king of the world for a few moments, then you had to come back down when you realized my Monte is still going to eat your Monte's lunch... gulp, big statement, not so very sure about that anymore.

Enjoyed the video of the Turbo Monte taking her first breaths, cranked it up sounds so very healthy. YEAH FOR YOU JOHN!!!!
