Just wanted to give a big shout out to LJMS Customer Justin Kalwei for knocking down a pretty cool accomplishment this weekend and being the first Hydraulic roller equipped LS engine to go 4.5x's






Along with being Hydraulic roller equipped... This 416 inch LSx block based engine is topped with a set of Trickflow 245's prepped by BTR. Cathedralsftw! #nosquareportsneeded


Can't wait to see what Justin can get the Grey Goose to do as we come into Boost season.

 

Man, that is retarded fast with a hydraulic roller! And that MPH.......Sheeezus!!!

 

Wonder what that tin can weighs?

 

Very impressive results! I believe the weight was just under or at 3000lbs. So I wouldn't go so far to call it a tin can....

 

It was just a joke. I assumed it was around 3,000 pounds.

 

I love this thread!! Now you know hydraulic rollers can't make power all motor either.

 

Far from a Tin can... It weighs 2920.

 

Yes that build is impressive as well. Starting to see a trend with the TFS 245 cathedrals. I have used them in a lot of builds and the results are always impressive.

 

2920.... its a kite lol

 

Wonder how fast it would be with a solid roller lol

 

A few years ago one of the magazines did a back to back between a hydraulic and solid roller. Yes, the solid roller made a little more power, but it was only like 30 horses. Wasn't as much as most people think.

 

On a scale of 0-ls1tech/1320video, how much more would you say is left in it?

 

Huh??

 

Kudos!

Was that an NA comparison?

 

Yes, it was NA.

 

That's cookin!

What Hydraulic rollers and what kind of RPM? Anything special in the rest of the valve train?

 

Itd probably make about 40 more horsepower than it does now. so it might pick up .05-.1.

 

Comp short travels iirc. 7500. Nope, Has the same stuff I for about everyone. stock rockers, trunion upgraded, 3/8's pushrods.

 

very nice. I love that car too.

 

Very impressive. That is freaking quick. I do like what I have seen from those TFS heads on the bigger n/a combos.
