Can I run?

[Silverbullet08]

hahaha i guess i took needing a test vehicle the wrong way. not free...

 

[Silverbullet08]

Yes. You would pay cost for the heads, install, and tune. It will be around $1500 for the heads, $450 for the install, $100 for the dyno time. You are looking at roughly $2100 installed and tuned.

yes i get to stay with superchips

yea i know i really want to do it but i want to stay with sc!! Scot help me out lol

As you grow older and think back over things you've could have done or not have done you'll smack yourself in the head and say "what was I thinking". I think this may very well be one of these moments. Good luck...

Man, I was going to say that if this deal was free it was one of the best scores ever!

I might be missing something but I see where your talking about 100 for a tune? Are you taking it to superchips for them to do a custom tune because I dont think any shops have the alv to do custom stuff with those, only Sct and DSP. $1500 for the heads is not bad if its a good shop and is that porting only or upgraded valves also? The easiest way to change those springs during your cam install will prob be taking the heads off and fighting them on a bench unless you get one of the two tools to do it while they are on the truck.

 

[Silverbullet08]

that was his pm. he said it was an obscene deal. that didnt look like a deal for me. and yea i would have had to get a dsp so he could have tune it too.

the heads will come off for the cam. aaron has that taken care of

The tool DA makes works real well for the spring change with the heads on.

 

[Silverbullet08]

^yep thats what i have heard

 

[KGBIGCOUNTRY]

Once you get the valve covers off whith the stock springs



And once you get the heads off





These motors are really simple once you get all the elec off of em. I will be posting more pics once I pull my motor out of the truck.

I have also heard good things about DA's tool but it had to be beefed up some from what Sam had posted.

 

[Silverbullet08]

nice! yea im doing cam, lt headers, and maybe an efan all when aaron comes. he is my master installer lol

also i will be adding some paintwork in the engine bay

Why are you guys pulling the heads? I thought AF had the spring tool?

 

[KGBIGCOUNTRY]

Teach hows your A/F look at WOT with superchips and long tubes with that cam?

I had to beef mine up when I did the cam bc the threaded rod bent. Cut it off and welded a harder bolt in it's place. After that the tool worked flawlessly.

At WOT it is 12.0 at first and then climbs to around 12.3. Not bad for a canned tune.

**** i meant valve covers. just woke up sorry lol

 

[Off_Road_Teacher]

Going to say that kind of defeated the purpose of having the spring tool.

 

[KGBIGCOUNTRY]

Wow yeah thats not bad at all for a canned tune.

 

[Off_Road_Teacher]

Wow yeah thats not bad at all for a canned tune.

Thought it was going to be way off after the cam install but it turned out to be pretty good.
