for a light weight build i would take the ls2, for anything else i would pull the ls2, sell it for cash and buy an engine, fuel, turbo, hotside, intercooler and still have money left over with a junk iron motor at the cost of the LS2 lol

there's not much of a learning curve on the small pickups. monoleaf, caltracs and a decent adjustable shock and you're hanging the front tires in the air on a drag radial.

I didn't realize that. I thought this was the ? Circle D? I think, you used before? How does this converter stall in comparison to that one you used in the past?

correct, normally i buy a ***** out 1200 dollar circle D triple billet spec'd for the build

for the fairmont i had a th400 and was trying someone local

for this truck i bought a 80e converter from a friend he could not use, just winging it for 400$ so figured why not try it

and its great for everything under 740 or so tire...

i know its hard to keep up with this **** haha

Matt, what wideband are you using, seems you dont have any issues with sensors, i have an innovate mtxl using the 4.2 lsu on e85 and running11.5 afr wot and they only last 6 mos or less. Do you have good luck with yours? They have a 4.9 upgrade but wondering if i should go a different brand.

They all use the same Bosch UEGO sensor...Innovate, AEM, Autometer. If you leave the sensor installed without powering it up it will kill the sensor real quick.

They don't use the same controller, which is usually what fails, taking out the sensor in the process. The heater circuits have to be pretty beefy to get the sensor up to temp quickly and prevent it from fouling. Low voltage kills some of the controllers super quick. So can some battery chargers, esp ones used with cheapo generators at the track.

Over/under on how long till that cat gets destroyed is about 250 miles in my opinion....especially under boost.

I'm curious to hear how much power it kills as well. If it's not bad, I wonder what putting a pair of smaller ones on my setup would do for the overall volume.

Denmah,
With all the cool "Denmah build"s you do, when do you find time to "Rub One Out"? (**********)
