LS Vega
My engine is in the for sale section if anyone following this build is interested. I have a different LS motor in the works for next year.

Actually this isn't too bad of a time to update on the Vega.
The car has been through some major changes that of course took longer than I expected and I pretty much bit off more than I could chew and still get out in a timely manner this year. It is actually pretty close at the moment to some testing.
Here are some of the changes.
10 point cage certed to 8.50 has been cut out and a new CM 25.5 cage has been put in. The car is now certed for 7.50's
New spool and rear gear. Changed from a 4.56 to a 4.10 as I need more top speed.
Now for the big change.
I am working with Billy Briggs in an attempt to put together the most powerful LS N/A build to date. I am going to run the Milan Mi. All Motor heads up stuff and we aren't leaving anything on the table. It could be running on the dyno in just a few days.
Anyone know what the highest HP NA numbers are to date? If they are around where I think they are, I could be topping them.
AND THEN PUTTING IT IN A VEGA!

The LS Vega In Heads Up competition finally! After what seems to be forever the car made its first real passes with the new setup but I had to do it in competition.
This was round one of of the Milan Michigan Heads up series where I am running in All Motor.
Car had to weight 2850lb, run a 29.5 x 10.5 tire and have a single throttle body.

The last heads up event is over and we tweaked in a new personal best last night but the 8.40's escaped us.
8.51@160.74
8.52@158.57
8.53@158.47
8.53@157.13
8.50@158.43
Best ET was 8.50 and best MPH was 160.74 which was the first and only time the car got into the 160's
Pretty good year for a first try in the class.
