F8L GT Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Heading after work to go pick up a teksid 4v. Things as happening a little sooner than I thought after finding it on craigslist for 150. My plan is to break 11s with under $1k invested. I think the cams might break me since I'm deciding to go new grinds rather than regrinds for a tighter LSA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F8L GT Posted February 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Don't mind the grease and free top of the cylinders nor the dirt, but I was surprised to see the amount of hash marks left on the cylinder walls. Especially since he told me the car it came out of had 121k miles. Going to clean up the cylinder walls and inspect better, take better picsSent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F8L GT Posted February 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 A little hone job to clean up the cylinders and a new set of file fit rings will do the job and help keep the build on budgetSent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95riosnake Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Good stuff! 11's for ~$1k is damn impressive, if anyone could pull that off it's you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trans, suspension weight reduction?Sent from my XT1080 using TapatalkOnly other change will be tires. Don't know if this will be done this summer but will be for next. So there may be a tubular k done by then too Sent from my HTC One using TapatalkGood stuff! 11's for ~$1k is damn impressive, if anyone could pull that off it's you The original budget was set with using Luis's sponsored stage2 regrinds. But since we have decided to go with a set of new billet cams with tighter LSA and split the cost. So budget might get blown by a couple hundredSent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F8L GT Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Going to start pulling my engine so I can swap things to the Teksid.

F8L GT Posted February 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Good luck man, hope you hit the 11's you're looking forThanks. I have no doubts that out will happen. It's just a matter of how far into the 11s I get. I sold the b heads so that adds a little more to the budgetSent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing you will be sitting a little over 11-1 compression with that bottom end? Should be a huge difference after it's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
