It's basically doing what several people in this thread were saying it couldn't do! Reality can certainly be a bitch sometimes.

If you have to ask, you probably dont have any business trying to build it. Its just sad that people know very little to nothing about cars, couldnt probably change the cam in their car and write huge checks for their 450+ cube 1000hp+ street cars and talk like they are in the know.
There should be a test to own a fast car, where you have to know how to use a jackstand and maybe how to using a timing light at minimum lol...
Ok my rant is over

I think people, like YOU, who think people MUST know how to build an engine in order to own a serious engine, well, are just FUCKED in the head, period. 9 out of 10 speed shops in this country would be out of ****** business if it wasn't for people that just pay for set-ups. WE are the majority, not you guys who can repair and build your own ****.

All I'm really waiting on, or maybe I should say my builder is waiting on, is the LSX iron blocks to start shipping. Than he'll be building my project, it'll be the car to race, from a roll that is

a good bottom end which sounds like you have that going for you, and the proper bearing clearances, and proper oiling, other than those things make sure the damn thing is assembled clean and properly, thats all you can wish for

building a motor to spin 9k rpm to make xxx hp is a but silly unless you are limited for a racing class. ie, no power adder, limited displacement etc. if you want power go turbo/nitrous/cubes. if you want to go 50-180 roll races buy a supra!

A few marks on the balancer or an aftermarket balancer and a fabb'd up pointer and you can use a timing light on these cars...

Concidering LS1's are tuned with software kinda make a timing light pointless .
