Im running the VRX4 with the new TSP ORY into a Jegs catback. Sounds good in my opinion considering it's half of what you'd spend on a name brand catback.
I also spin mine to 6800rpms but I've upgraded my rod bolts also.

My car dynoed at 385/375, but the tune was way off and was pulling 4* of timing. I think it's closer to 400 now that the tuning issue has been taken care of but I just haven't been back to see. The best I've run in I believe what was 93* and some of the other guys may know exactly what the temp was that day. I know it was hot and most of us were running about the 2-3 tenths slower than normal. I was cutting 1.5 60's on 26x11.50 Mickey's.
This was my best run of the day. And yes I know I got slaughtered lol

What rpms can the stock top-end and bottom-end handle?
Stock short block will handle 6800 for a long time in an auto. If you are 6 speed, don't go from 3rd back to 2nd. Not good;) My dad bent about 12 push rods at one time doing that in my 98. My family has had 5-6 stock bottom end LS cars that all went several years of racing every weekend shifting @ around 6800 and running in the 11.3's-11.8's with no failures until we started spraying one of them every weekend. It finally spun a rod bearing.
My first LS camaro had close to 3000 problem free passes on it when I sold it to Josh D. I think he put about another 100 or so on it with no issues. Streetstalker ran his every weekend for years before he put a bigger cam in it and finally killed it shifting around 7200 if I remember correctly.
I have always heard how sorry these stock rods are but I have never seen one that just came apart for no reason. But I'm not saying it doesn't happen

How's it going guys? Go figure im back int he sandbox AGAIN! dammit.. well if you can really even call the Deid the sandbox..
Anway, i head back around the 1st week in Jan. When i get back looking at doing Pacesetter LTs, x-pipe, then dumped bullets. any suggestions on a good set-up? Then right around summertime im wanting to FINALLY do a heads/cam swap. I'm thinkng 224/224 112LSA would be a good cam to keep the car still DD material. On a funny note, i need tog et my driver side window motor replaced or just looked at. Since ill be replacing the drivers side motor more than likely ill probably just pony up the extra cash and get the passenger side done too. Other than that the only mod im thinkn of doing is rotor/pads, gears..and.. even though i'm pretty against sound systems, im going to have to replace my blown speakers in the car.. but thats for another day. I'll probably do that when i head home back to Texas on leave after i leave here.
Just wanted to say hey. See how things back in Shreveport/boss city are going. Before i forget, are there any f-body cruises planned for Feb timeframe?
You guys take it easy. Hopefulyl the next 3 months fly by :bang: lol

I also had a car tuned by Jeff Creech at Thunder Racing and it was shitty.... plain Shitty!

I agree, they have done great work as far as mechanics of the car, however, the time Sean spent tuning my H/C/N2O car was just unacceptable, IMO. This lack of time showed as soon as I got home, used the nitrous on a slow interstate pull, MAJOR detonation.
Louis actually does great tuning from what I have seen, and has recently split from LG (his dads company) and partnered to open a new shop in Dallas.
I switched to Dallas Performance a couple years back and have been nothing but pleased. Taylor's attention to detail and knowledge is second to none, and I truly wouldn't take my Twin Turbo car anywhere else as long as he is conveniently and easily accessible.

Ive been searching and cant come up with a solid answer. I have a 2000 lq4 6.0 and wanting to put a th350 behind it. I want to say it will bolt right up but im not 100% sure. Can anyone here give me a for sure yes or no? Thanks
blue98Z
10-21-2010, 02:22 PM
Shane I don't see why it wouldn't. There's several guys on tech that are running that combo. Besides that if the T56 will bolt up then the TH350 should since they do those conversions quite often. What happened to the 4L80?
BadAssBowties
10-21-2010, 02:54 PM
Nothing is wrong with the 80. Im going with the gmpp intake and msd setup so i cant use the 80. I know the th350 and 400s will bolt up and work but theres a big deal with the early lq4 having a longer crank or a spacer under the flywheel. My old lq had the spacer that could be removed. It was a 02 so idk if this has the spacer or the longer crank and if it even matters. BTW, im trading the 04 for a 77 firebird and going to put it on a strict diet with a little nitrous, gear, and a big stall. May even mini tub it for a set of 315s.

The truck it was in made a little less than 500hp to rear wheels and 730hp on a 150 shot. The little motor has been setting a good while hopefully it will still perform.

Thats it wayne it will have my ls6 intake on for awhile. the motor picked up about 30 rwhp on just motor since that day will have to do a good bit of suspension work before it will go back on the bottle.

Thanks! Wish I could have to the cam corder, all my girlfriend had was her droid.
I wish the weather and track was a lot better, but once the rain came in Saturday night it didn't make for a good race Sunday morning. First pass Sunday morning I blew the tires off literally with a blistering 2.18 60ft!
Came back and watched a few dragsters go sideways down the track and then the track decided that it would be an "open time trial" session until some rubber laid down. I usually run 6.95 and Sunday the best I could muster in the weather and track conditions was a 7.03. Well once the track started coming around about 4th round it came back to a 6.97.
I ended up breaking out 4th round so I jumped over in the Test N Tune lane right before we loaded the car up to make one final shot at a 9 second pass. Only popped the limiter for a split second on the 1-2 shift and the rest was pretty good except for the AFR being way towards the rich side.
I think the car will get down in the 9.70 range on the 150 shot in some better conditions :D
This weekend was pretty wild with the weather and such though. Seems like TRRP needs some better employees. I don't know how many times we had to wait in the staging lanes because the guys on the line needed a bathroom break or went to get a drink. They could have at least had someone fill in their spot until they got back. It can't really take 15 minutes to get a drink....right? :chug:

That sounds like a cool project. I took a 110cc mini 4 wheeler chassis and mounted a 400cc Harbor Freight engine on it. It was like a death trap on wheels going down the street at 40 mph. JohnnyLT1Runner almost killed himself on it once while doing a top speed run with its "highway gear" installed....It won a few drag races on the street against bigger four wheelers with its "yard gear" installed....I wrecked it into another 4 wheeler that 1FSTZ and Hilton were riding while going down the street in front of about 3 cop cars (and I'm pretty sure we were drinking too:D) and tore a rear fender off when i hit them....and now it belongs to Hilton. Good times. :thumb:
My next project I think is gonna be something along the lines of a 400cc raptor frame with maybe a Gixxer 600 motor on it. That should be pretty spooky.

Its in a holding pattern currently. But don't worry that wont last long. I am gonna go ahead and put a nice coat of red on the block, oil pan, and valley cover early next week.

paint it black not red :( will be to much red or r u more like the oldschool guys paint everything chevy orange lol jk :) Even if i had a lsx block i would paint it black lol
All the alu covers from some reason will chip and flake. I say leave all those covers natural but cleaned. If u did that with just a red block it wouldnt look good. The oil pan is right next to the road so its going to chip and flake not mater what u do and when it dose your not going to like it. The valley cover no one is going to see so no big deal unless u have a vic jr. One more thing please Do no paint the water pump red lol seen to many of them lol and didnt look good. But then again its not my car so do what u like :)

Once the accs get mounted, you won't hardly even be able to see the block from the top. So there will only be hints of red peeking out which will be perfect. And as far as the chipping/peeling/flaking of my paint jobs.....I could likely count on one hand anytime I have had any of those problems, and I paint everything I can get my hands on.

Car came up great like it did every pass I looked towards the tree to see if it was starting to come down and it was still going up, went to shift into 2nd to bring it down and the damn thing just kept going up! It wiggled a little to the left and really had no choice but to ease out of the gas and sure enough it slapped the member and the oil pan drain plug. Other than that everything was good.
