Thanks jim, It is getting there but still a little ways off from where it should be, it has been 117 to the 1/8 . I guess I might need to actually lean on this thing to see what it can do.Last night it did:
10.2(10psi)
9.66
9.6x
9.51
9.53
As far as I know the fairmont still holds the record for the fastest 1/4 pass for a completley stock ls motor ? Lots of guys have gone way fast in the 1/8 but thats different. It is a lot easier to keep one alive for only that short of a time rather then a full 1/4 mile pass.

Out fk'ng standing.....I have an 89lx hatch that I have owned now for 12 years and all it took was owning 1 LS1 camaro to make my mind up of what I wanted to do. One of my buddies started a 5.3 TT build and decided to sell the roller...I bought everything from him. I can only hope that my car runs half as good as yours does....

thanks guys 60 foot on the passes in the vids were 1.50 pretty well most passes. The turbos have a T4 flange and the wastegates are fed with a 1 5/8 pipe

Rods & Pistons Hi tirefryin_s10,
When you freshened up that LQ4 with rings & bearings, I assume it was a 2004. You re-used the stock pistons & used rods from an LQ9. Are the pistons from a LQ4 hypereutectic? Are the LQ9 rods any stronger? I know you upgraded to ARP rod bolts. Were the pistons in your 5.3 hypereutectec? Great build! I am cloning your build with a LQ4 going into my lightened 1988 5.0 mustang hatch. Im in the process of accumulating parts now. Cant wait to get the bulk of my parts, then I will start a thread.

Neil, just want to tell you I have read your thread at least three times from start to finish. It has been my inspiration for my 67 camaro. I have never built a turbo car or even a car for that matter. My setup is a '99 5.3 4l60e out of a gmc truck. Thanks for all the pictures and the detailed write up. Mike
