cv shaft, wheel bearing, radiator therm. timing belt, water pump clutch flywheel tires all isnt very cheap really...the car has a dc sports header to a dc sports catback...the cat is still in it
lowered on tein springs and its got wheels but that doesnt matter
t3/t4 on 8lbs when the track opens though

i know what you are saying...i just drive an integra and race an integra and get ricer all the time but the fact of the matter is these guys yelling ricer most of the time dont know any more than i do they just do it because its a honda....the car itself is rice free...
i am relatively new to everything nad try to pick up some things along the way...i dont own an ls1, lt1 or any v8 for that matter but i do like most of the cars and some of the people that dont see my car and just ignore me alltogether...
i do plan on doing this kit over the winter between me and a buddy of mine though...not through a shop and im not paying anyone to do it so it should be fun...
I fully believe if he wold like to learn something and go to the track and get into this sort of thing he should hang around people that have the same hobby and share the same interest maybe with a bit more knowledge ie track with us lol
btw any good sites to get radials from....im not catching traction anytime soon on street tires at a track

i get ya, like said, i didnt say it cause of your car.. i dont know what your car looks like or anything.. so had nothing to do with that!
and he is right OP, you should take a trip to the track.. its a **** ton of fun, and you can learn a LOT surprisingly there..
spend vitually no money on maint. except for usual oil changes and such. *knock on wood.

honestly OP, this kid with the gsr knows enough to put lsx into his sig... instead of ls1.. seems he does know a little bit, not just about cars, but lsx's in general... not saying you could learn anything though.. 
it is more fun to hang around knowledgeable people though.

LMAO haha your being added to my buddies list i like you haha
and like i said turbo going in but staying at 8lbs as the block has not been built BUT it should run 13's with traction pretty easily I am hoping....
and i stick with the gsr also cuz it is a pretty fun car to drive even though its 15 second car right now lol
turbo=twice as much fun haha

gsr's when properly built can be VERY stout cars.. you two boys dont bite off more than you can handle.. [/QUOTE]
Yeah he's gonna be running 8lbs of boost so I think it should be a good race. . he'll be playing catch-up I believe with those street radials. So I'm gonna give myself a slight advantage. If everything goes right ill have my LTs by then as well. .

8 lbs should be good for 13s.. and traction at the track isnt usually a problem.. i dead hooked when i was stock.. and i ran 8.4@84 in the 1/8
. If everything goes right ill have my LTs by then as well. .[/QUOTE]isnt his car AWD?

you may have a problem with traction... drag radials are cheap though..
