Default Remix-REBUILD- Carbed LSX C3

Well Blew up my 346 LSX carbed... It was a very good runner.


With Help From BOWTIE AUTO in Longwood... we tuned it and ran it. Car ran strong and made very consistant numbers.

Best time 12.008
Best MPH 114.6
Best 60 ft 1.72
racing record 44 wins and 7 losses (street and strip racing)

WELL FLOW ME ON MY PROGRESS WITH MY NEW SHORT BLOCK !!!

see a few pics and video below.

what msd box were you running, you know the edelbrock msd box has way too much timing for lsx engines and looks like you had a nitrous kit on there??

the edelbrock box timing goes up to 36* timing no matter what pill you use

you really need the msd6010
