Hey guys, been planning a cam build for a few months now and have been slowly gathering parts for the install (By me) and tune (By Jeremy Formato), hopefully by early January. I wanted to give a list of parts that I have and what I plan to buy and see what you guys think so far.
First off, she’s a 2005 M6 PBM 50k on the clock (Only had the car for 4k miles). Only thing done to it is a X-Pipe and Flowmaster axle back mufflers.
What I have so far is a Torquer V2 112lsa (232/234 .595/.598), BT racing dual platinum valve springs .660 (with new retainers, locks, and valve seals), new Melling oil pump, SLP double roller timing chain, 160 SLP thermostat, gates water pump, comp cams pushrod measuring tool, trunion upgrade for the stock rockers, and Lunati link bar lifters. Also, I am in the process of making a similar OTRCAI to the Svede (which will hopefully work out, if not Svede here I come!).
What I have planned to get before January is Kooks stepped SS 1 7/8 with no cats, doug’s 3” electric cutouts, gasket/bolt set from TSP (front timing cover, valve covers, water pump, ARP crank bolt, front crank seal), pushrods (once I measure), 10% ATI UDP, new belts, coolant, and oil.
With the tune being from Jeremy Formato, I am also getting him to do a stage 2 porting of the stock manifold and the TB.
After all of that, I will have $2k to spend, but not a dollar more. With that I could do a few things.
Option 1 Anti-wheel hop level 1 Gforce half shafts 799.99, Level 1 28 spline inner axle stubs $550.00, then save the rest ($400 left over) for a BC racing coilover set (The ER set) - $1849
Option 2 BC racing ER coilover set and save the rest for half shafts and stubs later.
Still, some concerning parts for me will be the clutch and driveshaft. (Should I just be saving for these)
My ending goals for this car would be to make 450-500 to the wheels, but I realize that this may not get me there fully. Over the course of the next few months I will be saving to have my stock heads ported by AI. Hoping I can hit my goals after the head work.
Please give me your thoughts and ideas, any and all are appreciated.
