starkmaster03 Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Is it that slow at work that they just let you take you own engine out to play with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankis Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Do all vette's come "due" for rings frequently or is yours a result of the way it's ran? I understand you autocross quite a bit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted February 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 2001 LS6 ring issue, they fixed it on the 02' LS6's. it just burnt some oil and had a little smoke after bouncing off the 7000 rpm rev limiter. since i am really pickey about my cars i wanted it fixed. plus as hard as i am on it with 80,000 miles 72,000 i have no history of i thought it was better safe then sorry or i would be buying a new engine like scott.

SinisterSS Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 cam spec's?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSXRAntwon Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Should be nice AJ, what heads and cam are you goin with? I take it the cam will be more spec'd towards autoX? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted February 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 not going to say the cam specs yet. want to wait for the dyno chart and then post them at the same time so everyone scraches there head trying to figure out how i did that with the cam i have. lets just say its close to stock 02' Z06. livernoise stage 2 that i picked up from jelloman.

Smokey Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 cool to see. You certainly do keep the car very nice. Will the cam/heads put you in a different auto-x class though? Or were you planning on changing anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 This should be cool. Are you just re-ringing it? I hope not, forged pistons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted February 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 just a re-ring, there is nothing wrong with the pistons in it as long as i stay under 175 shot right scott? lol. they are Mahle pistons from the factory. chris, it moves me to Street Mod something or another. they changed the class name from SM2 to just SM i think. either way there is never anyone in the class i'm in now or SM2 so the only down side is a worse PAX index.

AJ Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 What about SMS? look at those little tires on that thing. its SSM now for my car. the guy in the gold C4 corvette called me and asked me if i wanted to run with them in E Mod this year since there are more people so i'll more than likely end up doing that.
