2000 LS1 Firehawk, New TSP 383 & tsunami cam Hey guys im new to LS1Tech alot of my friends are old members and I thought with this new motor I should get some feedback from the community. I own a 2000 Black Firehawk M6 with 35k miles. After about a year I started getting some squeaking noises coming from front passenger side which turned out to either be a collapsed piston or bad cam bearings. (engine is not entirely out) But I was advised to buy a new engine. So I went out and got a TSP 383 stroker with a Tsunami cam as well as all the goodies to do the swap. What kind of power am i going to be making? And what are some good track times to shoot for with street tires. Im wanting to wait for a new rear and clutch since i know the stock rear wont like what the engine is putting out but i doubt ill be able to. Ill attach the invoice so you all can take a look. Besides whats on the invoice. I have SLP headers. TSP True Dual Exhaust. LS6 Intake TB swap from a 2002 T/A as well as a MGW Shortthrow Shifter. With stock rear and street tires what kind of power will I be making until my rear and clutch explode in a cloud of firey glory? Also what could i sell my engine with heads and stock cam for if its only a piston?

The best advice I can give is to not get caught up in dyno numbers and track times. There are too many variables and everybody's set-up is slightly different. Have a proven tuner tune your engine and let the results speak for themselves. Good luck with the new set-up!

Thanks guys im really excited about the set up as well. Its going to be my DD as well so i also purchased a Ram powergrip clutch. so next purchase will be a rear or do you think maybe intake. Like i said i did an ls6 intake swap but i assume that wont be enough.

Beautiful car. I love firehawks. The 10 bolt is probably a ticking time bomb. The intake can wait. Track times depend on how good your street tires are and how well the track is prepped and horsepower depends on the dyno. Im sure it will have enough power to put a smile on your face, but you will always want more.
