Ya that must of been kyle, he's got some stupid fast ****.
Was there a white csr with lg long tubes for sale still when you got that silver one? I put a lot of time into that one if you seen it. It made 432 wheel on a very conserative tune. That's z06 power in a ls3! Man I love those motors. I can get a bare brand new block forr 1400 and heads assembled for 650, soon I think ill replace my ls2 with those.

yup I test drove that white one and was going to buy it but those parts were marked up wayyyy to much so i got the silver instead which just had the lg motorsports shifter with the button for npp exhaust flaps on and off mode. Yes they are very good on making easy power I have over 500rwhp all motor with stock heads, intake and TB and no underdrive pully

See I gotta beat my boss's z06 so maybe I can race u first and get everything dialed in. Heress steves hurleys z'oh https://ls1tech.com/forums/dynamomet...m-cam-lgs.html with slicks I think ill have a chance!

I may take you up on that. wouldn't mind being an inch lower in the front.


396d1ss it was cool meeting you last night. that vette sounded nasty. man I gotta get a cam. I ended up catching a light with the other vette later in the night and not sure if he was just toying with me or fighting traction that bad but he really didn't pull on me much. but I did get in some more runs against the supra and rx7. t/a came out on top every time even when the rx7 went up to 18psi
