Even tho I can not vote I would love to see one made. I was starting to think there wasn't very many carbed LS people. I have searched using google and on here and have come up very short. I have found a few Car Craft articles that were good reads on the topics but that is it. Usually when I get a hit on a search it is bickering on "OMG why are you doing that to an LSx"

Thanks
Eric

I like that Car Craft has done a few very good articles, I always enjoy reading them. They list some good details and part numbers and such

Its running n/a with longtubes and I milled .045 off the heads. I've gotta say it is wild. Blown1 bought the whole hotside from me. It was just too much for a street car. Im working on the rear suspension geometry right now trying to get more hook. But as-is the car is way more than I expected with the th-400 and 3.08 gears. Expect to see a complete build thread soon.

It would be a great addition and save tons of searching because the carb info is kind of spread out now. It would help out a lot w/ comparing intakes and ignition setups.

165 people and they are not willing to do it. It would take a whopping 10 minutes to add the area into the database... whatever.

check out this, if you want to go somewhere carbs are welcome.
