I can't wait man! I have not been this excited in a LONG time! I was actually watching your video on tame to wild, thats a bod ****!
I am hoping I can make 650ish 8-10lbs and maybe 750-800 on 14-15lbs. I am keeping the SS a 6 speed and mostly stock on outside (becides wheels) and am going to run a stock muffler with a cutout on the downpipe similar to yours. Would be nice to keep the attention off and creep around quietly.

Looks like we’ll have to run each other when both are up, although I think you’ll finish yours before mine

I am going with a pretty stock 04 lq4 motor with exception of scat rods, diamond pistons/rings, arp rod bolts, cometic head gaskets, stock 317 heads with 918 springs, TSP PR's, a small little .586 .586 cam, ls6 intake, 60lb injectors, bbk tb, devils meth kit, misc stuff.
With this combo it has been duplicated and proven to be a easy 600-650ish rwhp on low boost (8lbs) running this turbo with 2.5" hot pipes, 3.5" dp, 3" IC pipping, jgs wastegate/b/o valve. The best part about this whole thing is the $$$.
With all things considered I am only spending $5k total for engine/turbo/fuel/pipping everything. But then again I am paying $0 for labor doing it myself. I also bought a bunch of crap used that saved me some change. I will be very happy even with 600rwhp due to this swap is only costing me about $600 out of pocket (sold my motor for $3875 and exhaust for $625) which before I was running 436rwhp. I will keep you posted and yes, looks like we might be going 4 wide including a heavy nitrous car (Wizeass).

Yeah, man JP, I have been studying up, reading a bunch of crap blah blah and have a few buddies that are heavy into turbo'd vehicle's and have my science down to a t.

Man I saw one in the for sale section not to long ago for like $80. I'll keep an eye out for ya! I take it SQR hasn't done much with it without an oil pan? You might check with RPM in lewisville and see if they have one laying around.

i'm starting to think I should have just went back with a stock motor or something different now. Way, way cheaper. I see a complete engine in the for sale section on LS2 now with only 10k that made 440 rwhp for only 2,300. Oh well. It is what it is.

He has not done much with it yet. I can't afford to buy new parts and I still need a starter as well. This sux.

It was hydro locked and busted into several pieces. The oil pan was busted and there were at least four holes in the block. The starter was in three pieces as well. I tore the **** out of it and what insurance covered was a joke. I'm out of my pocket well over 1,000 dollars already and still don't have a running car.

Ok. Just wanted to make sure. I was up there talking to Daniel about that block. It was FUBAR’d for sure. He did mention the insurance company bending you over backwards on it too.

Damn dude, I thought you got a great deal. It does suck that the insurance co jacked you around man. You never know what your buying not knowing the person, so that deal on LS2 might not be whats it cracked up to be. My stuff was nice. I tried my best to help you out that why I only charged an extra $100 for the lid, k&n and maf. I will be glad to help you with what I can, if I had an extra oil pan I would give it to you.
I will keep you in mind if I come across a pan.
