Beautiful motor guys ! Virginia Speed seem to be some major LSX big dogs! Out n the West coast most fast guys are still using first gen v8s in 4th gen camaros.... I believe Ls is the best power in a small package, 3rd gen ftw !

Is your exhaust from the turbo going to be done in aluminum?

I thought I spyed a THIRD WG in your other thread, on the cold side just after the compressor. Was I seeing things? I could have swore it was a WG becasue it was a bit upstream of what looked to be 2 BOVs lol.

Changed from the 5" Y pipe to a 4" Y pipe and had to change the angle of the tubes by 30 degrees to get it to clear the dry sump.

No comment on the 40s.... We went 4.700 with 6# of boost pulled out to get down the track, we pulled 300# out of her and added another 200-300hp. The 60' and 330 were really soft. With the data we saw last year we think 60's in the 1.13-1.17 are doable and 1.09-1.13 on a tight track are what we're lookin for. We went 3.teen to the 330' on a 1.25 if that tells you anything, should be 3.0 to the 330' once its all sorted out very easily.

Phil, maybe a dumb question, but what was the reasoning in splitting the downpipe?

Using the exhaust to keep the front end down. We had 55% on the nose and it still wanted to wheelie when we got after it.

No, we have been really busy working at the shop, not had any time to go out racing, but we will try and make the big outlaw drag radial races and the two LSX shootouts at the end of the year. Dont worry, we will be ready to line up next to ya or any other LSX powered car for that matter!
