Default Carbed Ls Monte

So I took the time to drag out the Monte and put a few miles on her last week. She ran flawless, with no issues. The power these LS motors make is unreal untuned using the stock chips. I can't wait to see what she runs at the track. Anyways here is a few nice completed pics of her. I guess the next step is Nitrous install, install 200r4 trans, and this summer, try to hook up the AC. Here are the specs and a few pics

-Stock LQ4 shortblock, Cadilac CTS oilpan
-Stock 317 heads milled .020, with new style 918 valve springs
-Comp Cams 222/232 .595/.575 lift 114LSA
-Victor Jr, with Speed Demon 750
-Camaro Pacesetter 1 3/4 offroad headers, 2 1/2 exhaust thru Flowmaster super 44 muflers.
-TH-350 with 10 inch Atlantic Coast Converter
-Grand National 8.5 rearend, Eaton Unit with 3.73 Gears

Nice ride. I only saw one thing you need to do. Put the water cutoff valve back in the line to the heater core. Without it, you're going to get really warm this summer.

nice build. My friend did an LQ4 in an 87 Cutlass. He ended up running stock manifolds, because he didn't want fitment issues. Going to let him know the camaro ones fit.

Looks great!
