I'll swear and die by ls9 head gaskets. As far as maintence I'm old school in believing things are different between heat cycled block, studs and heads and new unused
My next race, I was broke. No boost controller, wg spring only. But my "rep" helped me. First guy red lit like hell, second guy red light again. Then I lost to a tube chassis gto, and the syclone making me rematch broke. A couple days later. I fixed the issue and waited angrily for rematches. Tomorrow I'll post vids of the last race and pics, and start the rebuild with the same 408 moving to back up for the new setup. Rest assured the ls will remain supreme
So before the last "Colorado street outlaws" race the organizers put on another mini cash days. Great time to test the new holley intake and 417 motorsports inter cooler setup. Spool was so very much better
So the big final legal race for us was 3000 grand to win. We wicked it up, realized we were outta turbo and my nitrous express kit was called in to stay ahead

Awesome car and story man,congrats!
I agree with the ls9 gaskets, friggin amazing.
Can you please elaborate a little on what you prefer? Your preference is with heat cycled/used heads,blocks and studs vs new?
Your car is phenomenal, but what really shocked me was that syclone! He was damn near running with you!!! What is the scoop on that monster?
The syclone is a built motor obviously, twin 67s and he says two stages of nitrous but I've only seen one. 4l80e with a trans brake. Still awd, four slicks, more custom billet than I ve ever seen. Went 9.20 several years ago. Suppose to be faster now.

No no just saying that's what I have. With new id re torque sooner

Thanks for this!
And maybe I missed it in here somewhere, but have you listed any of the details of your engine build anywhere? I'd like to see what's in it (at least basically, if there are some items you don't want to share publicly). It obviously WORKS!

2003 escalade iron block. Patriot racing stage 3 ls6 heads, stock rockers, comp cam turbo grind bought used on here, ls7 lifters, drilled lifter cups, ls9 head gaskets, arp head and main studs, custom cp Pistons, lunati 4340 rods and crank. King coated bearings. Canton oil pan, kn oil filter, joe Gibbs oil, lingenfelter oil pump. And Rocky Mountain machine for the machine work and I built it with a snap on digital torque wrench. Heads torqued to 100 ft lbs, every thing else to spec. Warm that **** up properly, change oil often, run e 85, watch the timing, and intercool that boost
