Default Do you think we can run with big boys??

Its official! For the 2007 racing season Canadian Performance and myself will be teaming up to for testing and racing on an experimental LS1 powerplant. Although this engine will be old school I am very enthusiastic about the potiental and prospects of this program. Dave is providing the engine and I am providing the car.

At this time all I can say about the engine is it will be unique in a few areas Firstly it will be a big bore aluminum rod engine sporting Dart heads. In a nitrious combination equiped with carb and fogger. A powerglide will back this powerplant up. I will let you guys ask Dave all the particulars on the engine. Dave has made great progress on this engine and already has everything for the engine except the block ( waiting on shipping) and pistons. 2007 should be allot of fun and I am very happy to back to just F-body racing!


Respectfully Yours

Class...OSCA True street in Canada and SSCA Real street in SC. The car is setup for Carb and I have a very good big body 4150 (1300cfm) ready to go. Also wanted the benefit of a carb intake without the cost of injection. I personally am not a huge fan of EFI just my personal preferance. We hope to go very very fast with this engine. My old motor 421 15 degree SBC with fogger went 8.30's on stock suspension with an ET street (no wheelie bars). We are hoping for the same performance or more from the LS1 engine!

Car has been around for years. It was built in 2000 and has been updated several times. All the pics I have are 4 years old. After awhile you stop taking pics. There is a post in here from last fall with me on the bumper for a long time. I will try and find it.

After the video I finally got the car to stay down. Car has gone a best of a 1.22 sixty on 28's but usually more like 1.25.
