Another carbed LSX Hello all I am new to this site and like many other here am looking for advice. I have had my v8 S10 for a few years now and have been bitten by the LSX bug. I have been saving parts for a few months now and about ready to install the new setup. All the build specs are in my sig below besides 918s. Id first like to ask what are the limits of these motors and how my setup looks to some of those experts out there? It is going to be a street truck but performance is first and formost. Any ideas what kind of power this thing will make? Iv been really impressed with numbers I have seen put down by other carb conversions and was hoping to be somewhere between 300-350rwhp. Am i far off? I was also wondering how my compression ratio will affect how much timing i need to run? Lg motorsports suggested .059" max before flycut with my cam. They stated that being 11.2:1 so at .055" I am guessing I have around 11.0-11.1:1. I am planing on my initial timnig starting around 16-17* and ramping to 32* by 3500. May seem high to some EFI tuners but I helped a friend tune his carbed 6.0 and it was at 36* before it made max power and no sign of chatter. Any advice would be greatly apreciated.
