Phil.
Shawn and i were talking...... I think you found the name for your car LOL

We've been 190 with our little LS2's from ERLperformance with more to come. This is the same block I ran last year with over 100 passes in 07 and now approaching 50 for this year with no issues. LSX block can eat a dick sandwich for all I care.. Oh yea and It's some 70 pounds lighter.

I could sure live without the weight. But the LSX block is a good foundation, with a better price tag than a billet aluminum block, or the production aluminum blocks with what they require.

We wanted to go with the ERL LS2 block but it was too light for my application. We needed the extra weight up front. With the power that Shawn Miller from Virginia Speed has coaxed out of our 438" LSx it would be a wheelie monster with the lighter block.
You suck at the PMs on YB by the way
As for the LSX. What did Howard Hughs say in his confused state?
"It's the wave of the future, It's the wave of the future, It's the wave of the future"..........
But probably not.

What you talkin bout willis. We can get down to 3140 right now as we speak with no work. With 2 changes I've got up my sleeve we'll be around 3020 with driver and all fluids. My buddy Jeff's gone 200+ in the standing mile, has air and gets 25+mpg in his Ultima GTR.
This was a while ago...
At the dragstrip it had no traction at 145mph lol...

Well, we went 196.59 at CSCN qualifying this weekend with Powskis LSX but unfortunately mph don't win races, and I ain't no Steve Petty on starting line tune ups.......
So if all we had to do was race for mph, we got 3.5 to go for 200!!! Unfortunately, I don't know where a race like that is!!! So back to the drawing board.

What kind of boost and turbo are you guys running on that hod-rod? I had a feeling you were going to be in the mix sooner than later.
I was a little hesitant to believe that turbo would do the job and had some folks tell us it wouldn't work, but obviously, it's capable. Eventually down the road we're going to have to hit the wastegate hard and get some boost but it's more than we can handle even now. So we need to get the first 100 feet figured out.... cuz the last 1220 feet she is on a serious mission.
