Re: Vortech X-Trim on my 436 stroker........................ Get me his email address, ls1.com has a bunch of us blocked from there.

Re: Vortech X-Trim on my 436 stroker........................ YSI trim is rated at ~1700 cfm, +/-, give or take.
I just returned a X-trim mockup to Vortech last week.
PSJ, regarding LS1.com blocking you, have you not learned to play well with others?

Do you think 1,000 RWHP is possible with either the X-Trim or the upgraded YS-Trim on say: a 427 iron block with C5R heads and a sheetmetal intake. Built with the best parts available like you mentioned. 4L80E tranny and a built Ford 9" rear-end.
Project "WS6sc1000" is brewing in my head.

Re: Vortech X-Trim on my 436 stroker........................ As I said, we tried to fit an X-trim into a 2001 SS last week but couldn't find a spot. It would probably fit under a bubble type hood if you can lower the engine like ours.
I'll be better able to tell you in a few weeks whether an X would make 1000 rwhp with your setup, but it probably would. I would drop the 80E idea in favor of a T350 or 400.

Would a non-computer 400 with GearVendors OD work perfectly?
Or would you have to up shift and down shift manually?

Re: Vortech X-Trim on my 436 stroker........................ The 80E is a 400, just with computer controlling.

Re: Vortech X-Trim on my 436 stroker........................ 
V4 XXX trim that went on a local C5R HSV, ended up swapping it out for a F3-R
How did it do with the F3-R?
