BUILDS>> CHRIS' GOAT PT.3

As I mentioned in the last post Chris drove the car to Speed Inc. to have it dyno tuned.  Here is a shot of the dyno chart.  The car made impressive numbers for the size of that cam.

Before the trip to Chicago I never has time to finish the air intake.  It was installed on the car for the trip but it wasnt body worked and painted.  Last week I pulled it off and got it painted for him.  Here are some shot of us putting back on.  Let me know what you all think.

Over the weekend I did manage to get the engine in paint.  Not much of an update, but with all the other work in the garage right now I was happy to get to this point.

Yesterday we got Chris' GTO back on the road again!

Over the next couple months I will be doing a top end build on an 04 GTO.  The owner is doing a custom grind cam, valve train, custom 4" intake, and your basic maintenance items.  Today I wanted to start fabricating the new 4" intake.  I want the intake to be ready to install once the car is back up and running on its new parts.

Here is the car.  A very clean, but yellow, 2004.  Already equipped with a full exhaust system, off road mid pipes, and stainless headers.

I know this may be old news to some of you locals, but for the sake of this being my first blog I found it worth posting.  I want to touch on my favorite piece of the entire build, up to this point.  It was really a challenge for my skills as an amateur fabricator.  I had never mig welded stainless or really attempted to much sheet metal work up until this point.  This is my over the radiator air intake.  What may seem like a simple process of building an intake took several steps that I will have to post later.  Steps such as building a custom radiator support that was .75" lower than the factory.  As well as restructuring the hood so that the intake could tuck up inside it.

Here it is in the very beginning stages.
