My all-time best was a 1.48, prior to that it was like a 1.51. I was somewhat suprised to say the least. It was a couple months ago when everyone went to LMP on Saturday night.

I wont tell you what I have in my car just yet. Your car has low 10s in it easy with your mph in the 8th. Ok now about what I have in my car. Paid 700 for the heads cam and install, 600 for the headers, 1100 to have the blown trans built, 600 for the converter, 200 for the drive shaft, 1100 for rearend another 300 for gears and install kit, probably another 1000 in odds and ends like injectors and gaskets. = low 10s for around $ 6000.00. Add another $1500.00 for wheels and tires.

Well I guess if I can't get a 60' like you guys I'm gonna buy one of those new hybird tc78's with the precision 76mm wheel/housing from forced inductions. Then put this 2k worth forged bottom end junk together that I got on my dinning room table. Then ill just have to hope to start running you guys down on the back half.

greg btw soon I may have access to a vortec blower system for a fbody. Just the blower unit needs rebuilt. Its on a buddys car and he missed a shift and trashed the motor due to the blower coming apart and going threw the motor.. So once I have my shop together(which hopefully soon!!) I'm going to put a pullout ls1 in his car and take the blower as a partial payment for some of the labor. So if you or mike are interested you two are first in line. It'll be absoluley complete other then the head repair.

My 60 ft has always sucked, until the head/cam install. I just needed alittle more power to get this thing moving.

Who built the tranny and what convertor?
Another solution.....spray it off the line :0

You can get first dibs! Still debating the blower vs turbo situation. The blower might be alot safer for me. It makes things harder to change and keeps everything in one piece

If you want to build a turbo kit man I can help. My firebird is the 5th build(2 sts's,1 aps ls3 c6,2 single front mount f-bodys, oh ya and the 2010 pts76 grandsport you seen! Which ran today!) I've messed with so I kinda know what to do.

Plus i have a asortment of manifolds I've saved so we could probably build you a single kit with air conditioning. Duddddeeeee I think this might sound stupid but do like a rear mount borg warner! You can get those turbos from 600 bucks to billet race cover ones for 1000 and your make a ton of power! I even got a turbowerks savage pump already for ya!

Or that new hybird tc78/precision 76mm exhaust wheel turbo,that would work good on your car. It'll work to about 850-900 wheel.

What hood did it have on it? I might know what car you are talking about and if so it is a forged (built) LS2. IF it is the same car they have been saying it is a stock shortblock LS1 for a long time now. I will be out there next Saturday weather permitting, I don’t know if I will be running the car or not but I will try and get things buttoned up.
