Mr. Jones Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Welcome, black GTO's have proven to be historically slow around these parts. Glad you are doing something about it! Welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thfchris Posted June 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 welll.. your 50% of the way there.. Thanks Welcome, black GTO's have proven to be historically slow around these parts. Glad you are doing something about it! Welcome! Lets see if I can actualy get it finished, I've had a few problems at the machine shop. I may just be working with the stock ls1 block instead of the LQ4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thfchris Posted June 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Currently it's at Performance Research, they aren't the shop that messed it up though. I dont want to slander any shops so I'm not going to name names. I'm going to give them the chance to make it right, just waiting for a second opinion. If the 408 doesn't work out I'm going to be looking for a decent heads/cam swap. Oh, yeah... Thanks for the welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thfchris Posted June 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Thanks for the pleasant welcome from everyone! Yes, that is my neighbor parking a bit close to my truck… I spoke with them about this and they didn’t seem to care, they were pushing their front bumper in on the receiver lol. Now I park it with the hitch on The 408 block was line honed with a main cap on backwards and every main journal is out of spec on the high side. I'm hoping to mix and match some extra clearence bearings with my standard bearings I've already purchased to make up for the difference. Worst case I use my LS1 block and drop the stroker in it and get some new pistons... possibly drop my CR and play with a turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirks5oh Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 welcome to the site chris. i can't see any pics, but i assume its a black '04 GTO. i loved my '05 GTO, but ultimately sold it for something faster. partly regret it because i loved the car even if it was just 'ok' as far as speed goes. enjoy the site, good luck with your build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
