You dropped in a cammed LS1..ooooh,aaahh..all 400hp of it..and you think it will take what I got..that's even funnier..
Come on man, don't be hatin cause you went normal, and I went BIG and BAD..
That a quote in someone's sig..you said it somewhere along the line, what happened?

It is good to have a guinea pig with a project though..

To anyone reading this I may sound like an *******, but to me that's messed up. I give someone good answers and time, and get **** back..

damn man thats harsh i was only jokin in your other thread i said put some tires on it and get on it...hope you not mad about my cam only statement, geez just said i went 7.6 on motor....
and yes ill bet money that my cam only stock headed and stock bottom end motor will take you...as long as you keep running it on motor then ill be just fine...but my cars setup for spray, and still out mph you cam only....
you forget what did you put in your motor? 6 7 8k? my whole car has less than 3000 bucks in it, including the price of the car
built tranny(1400)
yank stall (700) and
nitrous kit (900 bux)

and if you wanna get into bashing i want to see video of you cruising at 75mph and blowing off mt/et streets....

I'm a little irrated by the **** that you told me that works..I ran into quite a few snags with the stuff that you told me..nothing that I wasn't able to work out..but it's still a pain in the dick.. I gave you good info that works, and you gave me half-assed info on something.

**** happens though, life goes on..

Anyone can spray to win..that's called "fake" power..
I'm glad to know that I am over 600hp, ALL the time..

I adapted the LT1 System into the 1999-up Corvette Fuel Filter/Regulator, and had a custom Line made to go from that to the LS2 Rails. The Regulator is mounted up front near the Fuse Box.

I'm using the same setup, I just located the filter/regulator in the stock location and ran a -6 braided feed line and a vacuum line from the back.

If you have a donor motor/harness/computer, its not too bad. If you have to piece it all together, its not really worth all the trouble. I was lucky enough to have parts readily available, so it wasn't so bad.

Your sig says that it's a "Stripper" (which would make it a LITTLE safer being as how medical staff would be at the track)....but I think I would put your regulator in a better spot.....there is VERY little (structurally speaking) in between the outside corner of the car and your regulator.....Mine is on the strut tower and while the strut tower isnt completely out of harms way (nothing is really) it's alot further away from the most common impact area.....Not sure how many salvage yards you've been in, but if you have been in very many, you'll notice that almost every single f-body car in the salvage yard are wrecked in the front....and that area is usually pushed back into the strut towers....from the strut towers back is usually in real good shape....but anything in front of the strut towers get crushed.....
= big fire in your case. .....just my $0.02


car sounds good though......where did you get the air lid?

Fully Tuned and running the Exhaust I want I estimate about 625hp area at the Flywheel..

It won't necessarily catch Fire AWOL..I have seen many wrecks as well..yes that area usually crumples in..if it happens to go that way then so be it..

Not sure how much I have in mine. Probably about the same as Merv. I'm looking for 460 to the wheels on motor. Which, when tuned, I'm pretty sure thats attainable.
