Who wants to fly to Latvia and o-ring my LS1?

What is "filling", and at what power level should LS1 be filled (and o-ringed)?
Damn these threads do inspire me

If that first video doesn't say BIG POWER I don't know what does. I could have pushed it off the line faster, and it still went 180, freakin nasty man!

Bad *** setup and runs for sure!

Is this running a stock crank? What rods are in it? steel or alum?

I even put in a new crank pos sensor over the weekend...

I guess its conceivable I have a weak coil...they are the truck units...but don't have any spares laying around

cant rember where i readit but something about crank sensor cant read the signal because the signal changes coming off the reluctor ring at 7500rpm an up. in that go to a distributor Shane at thunder can help.
