From knowing nothing to having a Thunderbird supercharger on an m20b27i

[Ether-D]

Give your car a name like "The DiamondSchwartz Harlot"... Then you can smack it around all you want because you know it likes the treatment.

I LOL-ed.

It's pretty kickass if you ask me!!! For what its worth to the nay sayers it was faster than my m50 swap. I want to see it again once you get a good tune on it. If you want to make a video sometime let me and agent know, we can help you out.

Thanks man.

One day on your next non-kid week, we'll get together and shoot some video on my GoPro and Zach's camera.

Or you can take it to the AutoX with us...

Yes, and yes.

In for videos.

[MaxBell]

K, here's the thing. I don't wanna put a video of me driving my car all fast on Facebook. Not cause I think the cops will come after me, but because I don't want to put that shit on FB. I liken it to people putting pictures of their fuckin' dinner on FB. Now, if I could figure out the Youtubes, I'd totally put one one there. This is also "my work week" (the week that I work) as apposed to "my kid week" which is the week that I have my kids, so I really have little time to do sweet burnout vids and stuff. But, Agent and Sideways87 both saw it in person so if anyone thinks I'm dodging, ask them if was kickass or not. But I will get something on here eventually. You've waited 7 months, give me a couple more days and I'll accommodate you.

I didn't even get to drive it at all today. :(

I like how you words.

It's the other chris. I did just pick up a new GoPro this week...we have this covered. Maybe I'll even find someone to pull me around in my E30 :pimp:.

0-80(ish)MPH
Besides the supercharger, 4.10 diff, and megasquirt, this car is bone stock.

Thanks bro. That's what I was shooting for. I don't reckon it'll be down for too long, as I have the extra car. But still, fuck.

Just spent an hour reading this thread. Nice build and that last pic equals ouch!!

Time for a set of beefier rocker arms?

Time for a set of beefier rocker arms?

I think so. Those were a mix of used ones from 3 different heads.

Might want to further investigate. I'm on stock rockers at 330whp (soon to be 400 :-) )

I think it was just weak and old. I'm gonna get a full set of new ones.

Sorry 007, nothing not on FB for now, but i made it public so it should work for anybody.

[The Dark Side of Will]

Oops... Yeah, weak and old is probably the culprit, as long as you had lash set correctly.

Horsepower or even RPM doesn't kill rocker arms... valve spring load and cam lobe ramp rates do. If you're on stock valvesprings and a stock cam, just replace it with a stocker.

HOWEVER, you may consider a NEW stocker instead of another part with an unknown history. Febi rockers for my M30 were reasonably priced, but I don't remember the exact amount right off.

[TheTacoMan]

I was nearly 400hp with stock rockers, I have my old head which is minty 115k if you are interested. Will be selling soon. I would get hd rockers regardless if you rebuild it, they are not that much for peace of mind.
