makes your 11.1 look even better...yuk...MT DR's and 342s....never had much luck with the MT DR's I like the Et streets much better and fit on the same rim...and as you know a 373 or 390 would help you tremendously at the strip...hit up Erik at HKE if you go that route...I want to in the future!...give it a go without the Ti's and see what theyre holding you back. Good work though and keep that trans/diff together!

. This engine will probably get fired first of next year. It is what it is, an oil burner.
I've never met an aftermarket LSX engine that was not an oil burner. That engine block must be very sensitive to honing, boring, etc.
The guy who did it may be a sharp machinist, but his skill with LSX = FAILURE. I don't want to mention his name at this time.

It's all in the way the engine was built, installed and broken in. I prefer to break in the engine with a lot of engine breaking. Half throttle to 3,000 then let off the gas until almost to idle. Then half throttle to 3,500 and let off until almost idle. Continue until you get to 5,000 or so. I did that many times within the first 60 miles. Then I put it on the dyno and let er rip. This has rewarded me with 10.91@126mph in a heavy GTO. I also made only 504/491 through a stalled/geared/built auto.

My VA Speed LS3 416 does not burn a drop of oil since the day it was installed. It now has over 10,000 miles and has seen many 150+ mph pulls as well as many 1/4 mile passes. It is not normal for an engine to burn oil. Maybe 1/2 quart per 3000 mile oil change. No more.

This engine has low 10s in it, so I'm going to stick with it through the winter, then pull it.

Was so happy to get my car back, thought I would post up. Have a few loose ends to tie up, but for now:
536rwhp/497rwtq. ~12.5 A/F, 103F, 23 deg total spark. Graph to follow when I get it.
Once the engine is broken in properly, we plan to try and squeeze more power with race gas and agressive spark. Until then, I must say the cam characteristics really made my day. I ended up with max power around 6200 only giving up 4rwhp at 6600rpm. Once its ON, its ON and stays there. I like that.
I'll be making a few test-n-tune passes on Fri to correlate the data.

9000 miles on my 402, and it doesn't seem to be using any oil at all. The level is always at the full line, but there was about 2 ozs of oil in the catch can. Just sharing my experience.

I've got over 18,000 on my HKE motor.. even put 3000 on it when my maf was cracked and running 15 to 1 AF (I know I know.. shouldn't have run it that long but didn't have the funds to fix it) and was still racing people and beating them. Gotta love getting something built the right way
