63 chevyll lsx up & running It only took about 3 months and more money then I wanted to spend, but Man this thing runs good..I'm very impressed. its more then what expected, This is coming from someone that as a 406 sbc with 13:1 & a .640 solid roller(anyone want an engine LOL). Now I can really drive the car around town & get fuel at the pump. I'd like to thank LS1TECH members for all the info.

9" rear end w/4.30 gear, 29x11.50-15

Since you're spraying it, you can probably get away with a little less gear.
Good luck man. And make sure you let us know what she ran on the 17th.

Oh yeah I do have one problem, the starter stays engauged for 2-3 seconds after the engine is running, I checked the teeth on the flexplate they aren't damaged. Its a TCI flexplate and a new starter from advance auto parts #96220. It dosen't grind when cranking so I assumed it doesn't need to be shimed. I had to replace the starter after only starting engine about 10 times(drive gear broke). The new one does the same thing. Just wonder if anyone has had this problem with TCI flexplate?

Went to the track this weekend ran a 1.73 60' 7.84 @ 88mph, not too bad off the trailer with no tuning. the next morning I changed jets and added a 6.5 power valve after checking plugs and changed tires from 29x11.5-15 worn out quick time pro to 26x8.5-15 slick. remember the rear gear is 4.30. The car picked up a little 7.62 @ 90 mph.

So these passes were on motor correct?
What was your 60' on the 7.62 pass?

OK I went to the track again, the local track has a street radial tire class. I figured I'd strap on a set of 275/60-15 mastercrafts and up the carb jets to 81 pri & 85 sec with the 6.5 power valve already installed and change the timing curve. It went a 1.77 60' 7.66 @91. I thought that was amazing sense a week earlier the car went 1.63 60' 7.62 @ 89 with 26x8.5-15 slicks. I think I'm moving in the right direction.
