Hello Been on the site many times for some misc info. I finally set up an account for some more in depth info. My name is Nick and I am in Frederick MD. I have a 88 iroc t-top car. Currently the car is a roller due to funds but a free 5.3l has been acquired and the turbo project is soon to begin.
The car was purchased with a 9" in the car with a home built torque arm and not much else. I put a 406 in the car with a 350 and tickled it with nitrous for a couple years, added an 8pt cage and rewired the car. Best time of 11.21 was achieved. That block took much abuse over time and ended up with a crack in the main webbing.
Now the car has a spohn torque arm with a 400 crossmember. Batteries in the trunk, complete rewire and some new Bogarts with MT drag radials and MT sportsmans up front. I have worked on many street and race vehicles before i stopped being a tech (worked at a race/speed shop in MD) but didnt get much experience with the LS1 based motors while there. Hope to find some good info on here and maybe make some aquantences.
Here is a link to the only run i have of the car before the 406 came out:

and here is the last time it ran before the engine came out:
