408, GT55-94, E85, Glide, Truck manifold build & result -- 7/10/14 --8.87 @ 158 VID Build thread number 2. Here is the link to the previous build : https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-in...e-12-10-a.html
After ending the season to a lean number 7 cylinder i decided to make some serious changes to the setup, and after much debate.... share them with my fellow tech followers. I cant complain about how the first setup worked, but now that i have a lot of bugs and tests worked out of the car she is ready for round 2. Here is a shakedown of the basic setup and changes:
Iron 6.0 block
Eagle 4.00" crank
Compstar 6.125" rods
Wiseco -3 dish pistons/Wiseco rings
LS9 heads
Cometic head gaskets
Brian Tooley springs
Comp Cam(Martin@Tick Performance)
1/2"ARP studs
Holley Hi-ram
102TB
160lb high imp injectors from FIC
Pump E85
Magnafuel 750 prostar pump
Nasty nate cell
Tuned by Myself
Garrett GT55-94 turbo
1.40 exhaust housing
truck manifolds w/ v-bands
2 x JGS 40mm wastegates
JGS 60mm BOV
5" Downpipe
2.25" crossovers
Powerglide Transmission
Dedenbear case
1.80 straight cut gearset
Burkhart Fabricated 9"
3.50 gear
35 spline moser axles
Lightweight spool and center section
Aluminum 3.5" driveshaft
Car is WAY under the knife at the moment, getting it ready to head to Burkhart Chassis for a moly 10 point. Currently ive relocated the fuse boxes under the dash next to the PCM. That was a real son of a *****!! About to paint under the engine bay which should be equally fun. I will do my best to keep the thread updated.
What ended my season
Time to upgrade Yoke
Relocation fuse boxes

Thanks guys. yea she was turned up alright. Just never could get a real clean pass. But the trap speeds reassured me the power was there. Just some slight tweaks with compression, a few more cubes, better heads, and a cam speced out to me. I havent forgotten about you martin!!! Im trying to get the cage first.

Man i would love to!!!! But with what im hearing unless your **** goes 7s then dont bother. haha. I will be there to watch though no doubt!!
Here are some pics of the LS9 heads. I know there stock heads, but they are supposed to be king dingaling of all that is stock heads. Plus i really really wanted to experiment with a better flow rectangular port head.

weighed 3050 on the scales. 3225 raceweight.
I got them from a member on another page. got them for a good deal because they are slightly used (500 miles). Can get them new from GM for around 1000 a piece fully assembled. I wasnt to worried about the thickness as my 317s held fine with almost 30psi on LS9 gaskets and the 1/2 studs. And these LS9s are thicker, and made of a better material.
