Exclamation Project Nightmare Begins!!!
Just got our new bullet. We are going to try and put over 2500hp to this LSX in hopes of smashing our old LSX record. Josh will start fabbing up the turbo kit come the first of the year. Twin 88mm turbos with Billet wheels!

this is probally a dumb question, but why have a distributor? i thought the stock coil on plug setup was pretty good.

also, thats one hell of a engine. i really like how fuel rails, both sets!

The coil on plug set up is fine for street cars but when you are trying to hook up 2500+ hp then you need way more controll over your ignition system. We use the MSD digital 7 box. It has tons of timing, spark, and rev limit capabilities.

Hey Steve, looking good Brother!!! What kind of power were you guys able to make out of the 114?

By the way, I was finally able to get my ET heads! Not the 6 bolt 265's we were originally looking for, instead I coughed up the extra dough and picked up a set of C5X heads.

Been looking for a bracket to hold 2 fuel rails on each side. Are they made in house?

Killer set up. $$$$$$$

Good luck
