Thanks Robb!!
 

I just can't thank Robb at RobbMc enough!! I called him up to ask about one of their 550HP mechanical fuel pumps and he set us up with their top of the line 1100HP pumps, one of their deadhead regulators, 100 and 40 micron filters, and their 1/2" fuel sending unit!! Not to mention all the clamps and fittings needed! Talk about great service and one stop shopping for a complete fuel system!! :cheers:

Needless to say, we're sending back the 3/8" fuel line to In-Line Tube in exchange for a 1/2" line with AN fittings now! Oh! Robb even put a -8AN fitting on the sending unit for us free of charge!! :thumbsup:

Thanks again Robb!

More cool stuff every time I look at this build! Way to go Ty. Hats off to everyone involved in making this happen for you!:thumbsup:

You should make more then 500 with a roller cammed kaufmann headed d port pontiac if you don't there's something wrong. I am so glad you chose the right choice in performance parts I think very highly of kaufmann pontiac parts. I am also glad you chose a Pontiac v8.

Kevin Swaney at TIN INDIAN Performance (TIP) has partnered with Jeff Kauffman at Kauffman Racing Equipment (KRE) to build my 400cid Pontiac engine into a 440cid-stroker! The new engine will feature ALL aftermarket parts with the only original piece being the factory iron block... topped off with KRE heads and TIPs custom engraved billet valve covers!

Together, TIP and KRE have built some of the highest horsepower street friendly KRE D port combo's out there! From 475 HP to 680 HP and everything in between. When building a killer Pontiac pump gas street engine, they feel that the combination of parts tends to be even more critical. The parts need to match and compliment each other in order to optimize performance. When building a Pontiac engine, the selection of cylinder heads, camshaft, and intake are critical to building the right combination and making maximum power from off idle to redline.

We’re shooting for roughly 500hp on pump gas with KREs 74cc 325cnc Aluminum D-ports and a TIP custom ground Comp solid roller cam!

These heads come as cast with a 65cc chamber, with 74cc and 85cc CNC'd chambers available. They will bolt to ALL traditional Pontiac blocks and do not require you to run any off-set lifters or rocker shaft systems.

Stay tuned as TIN INDIAN Performance & KRE build, break in and dyno tune to get the most out of this 440cid Pontiac!

Thanks!
 

I can't tell you how excited I am that TIN INDIAN Performance and Kauffman Racing Equipment are working together on my 440-combo!! :willy:

I'm sure you're right about the power level too but they'll break-in and tune the engine on KRE's in-house dyno so we'll know the true numbers soon enough! :unibrow:

Stay tuned as there will be some new/prototype Pontiac parts revealed during the build as well! :drool:

And of course, special thanks to Ron Wilson @ Wilson Muscle Cars for creating these pieces of automotive jewelry!! :cheers:

"Just In Case!"
 

Killer! I really wish i was closer to Columbus so i could see all of this in person! The emblems look great.
I think the "just in case" will take care of pretty much anything you may have to deal with Ty! What is the system set at?

Holley/NOS
 

What? Where?
 

Funny, you posted pics. I didn't say anything LOL!

Just wear the brown pants all the time!:rofl:

We've Got Gas!

Holley/NOS
 

Thanks again Bill!! I'm pretty excited about this stealthy Top Shot setup!

The little blue bottle quickly found itself in good company... :_paranoid right between my Marquez door panels, the brakes for Chad's Challenger, the hoodpins Marty donated to CF-71, and Morris Classic Concepts' seatbelts!

http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/v...DFLM/Boxes.jpg

I think Chad's going to need a bigger office soon! :yes:

At least now, if he goes MIA we'll know where to start looking! :rofl: http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/v...ectorPlate.jpg

Hey Ty, the man in the brown truck wears his brown pants all the time....:rofl:

UPS + NOS = Brown Pants!
 

I wonder if the big brown truck has NOS too?? :faint:

Engine Update!
 

Just heard from Kevin @ TIN INDIAN Performance! :drool:
... got rings cut last week and crank in. Need to install rear main seal and then check rod clearances. After that, it will be ready to go together for the last time... Cam bearings are in and cam "fitted".

Once the rods are clearanced this thing will fly together... :bow:

SWEET!!! :thumbsup: :lateral:

I was at Columbus last weekend and stopped by Fesler's booth to find some interesting prototypes laying the floor of the trailer ALMOST out of site. :unibrow:

Shhhhhhh!
 

That's a secret! Well, um, it was supposed to be... :lol: j/k

Chris said he was going to take some stuff out there if it was ready in time! :thumbsup:

Now I'm really jealous! I haven't even seen it yet! LOL Hopefully soon...

Billet Jewelry!!! I can't wait to see these things in person!!!! :hail:

Not to mention the rest of the stuff you're working on!! Thanks Chris!!!!!!

Work of art Chris....great work!:thumbsup: Man, I'm gonna have to upgrade the rendering for Ty to make it live up to the high quality craftsmanship involved with the build.

I may need to sell the Camaro just so I can buy a Firebird to put those on.

Looks great :thumbsup:

Very nice! But what about some pics of the actual car? I keep seeing all the cool parts here but what are they going on? :lol:
It's going to awesome Ty!!

Thanks Ben we will be offering these with and with out back up lights and we are working on all the lenses now. We will have a lens that is water proof so you wont get any spots on the inside or water in your housing. We have heard of a lot of people complaining about this on other products so we have worked on a very good solution. Pics will be coming very soon

Looking good Ty...:thumbsup:

Ty, I hope you're playing the lottery with all the good fortune you've been having. It's gotta be awesome knowing you're going to have the most modern, state of the art, 2nd gen in the whole world!

Many thanks!!!
 

Hey Ty,

The Firebird looks like it's coming along great! Please keep me in the loop as the build progresses. At this time, we have not made final decisions on the OUSCI participants, but you are officially in the running for one of the 40 spots we have available! Congratulations.

Unbelievable!!
 

:wow: Are you kidding me!? :faint:

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC news Jimi!!! :woot:
:cheers: :cheering: :burnout:

I can hardly wait!!! :drive:

This is awesome Ty!! Congrats!
Now where are the updated pics???:lol:

Pictures and updates !!! now begin!!! We are 100% back on the car as of today!! We have been piddling with it while taking care of some other projects to fund the shop for the next three months while we work on a car with "no budget" for us!! lol Look for updates this week as we start prepping the underside of the car and doing some rust repair and stiffening to the body and frame rails. :cheers: :woot:

Okay I have a stange idea.

If you have a paypal account I would be willing to donate a few dollars to the build up of this car to help you guy's pay your bills.

Since you are truely doing this for free.

Even if everyone give a couple bucks here or there I am sure it will help you out. I am in for the first $50.00

WE took this car on with TY's $2500 budget, most of which I have donated back to the actual parts fund. I was forced to spend a lot of time lately on a couple of other projects, but it was needed so I can guarantee my guys payroll for the next three months. I'll never ask anyone for anything else the support you guys have given is awesome. God will pay me back in another way, I'm confident in that. WE'll still have to raise money in a couple of months to get us to SEMA!!!

Paypal : [email protected]

Also some breaking news about SEMA coming shortly!! I'll let out a little secret, big company, main building, main aisle, right next to GM!! Feature car for there booth!!!

Donation done

$55.00 so i can cover the paypal fee

thanks Marty!!! I'm not trying to make money at all, but its kind of hard not to pay my guys!!

This is too cool! This build is really more than just a car. It's things like this that made me join this forum in the first place. Tonys car Karma was the first I noticed and now we have yours going. This is awesome!

I think Marty has a great idea here. I'm in too.:cheers:

Your welcome and I am certian your not trying to make money. Your doing something that only few people in the world will ever do and I commend you for that. You are truely a great person.
