Thanks man, had it a few years now and it's on its fourth motor. Hopefully this one is good to me. Lol

Looks nice! Familiar paint scheme!
I don't miss my 700 hp big block at all.
Keep us posted.

Cars on the dyno right now, hopefully there's no issues and she does well. I'm kind of nervous.

Any news ?

First pull was 519. But it keeps throwing the belt off

How much boost? You may need to add a manual tensioner.

Suncc49

I see your problem... you deleted power steering... I did too. I sprung for the dirty dingo bracket that comes with a tensioner. Haven't thrown a belt at all.

ls72nova

I might have to do that. Where did you find it at?

I just added a idler pulley under the truck alternator and it works great.

Pretty nice numbers for 10 psi. That’s roughly 650 at the crank figuring 20% driveline loss. Nice runnin piece. Now order a meth kit!!!

But what will it do at 16 ???????
lol ..

ls72nova

Hahaah. I wonder what 16 would be as well. Lol. We will find out when I get meth in the spring when I change the intake and throttle body

Should be able to see 20-30hp per psi depending on setup/tune (so estimating between an additional 120-180hp).

The plan for the winter is get a new intake throttle body and meth, I'm happy with what the car makes for power right now, this is my first LS and turbo motor so it will give me a while to learn how to drive it at the track before winter comes and I can make the changes I want to make

ls72nova

Got the car to the track, the best out of three runs(trying to get a feel for the car) left at zero pounds or just under of boost and ran a 10.70 at 131mph and she held steady at 10lbs Down the track on all three runs

Thats showing promise. What did the rest of the run look like?

ls72nova

First run was foot brake and I rolled the beams but it was an easy run to the 1/8th than kept my foot in it till the end, second run I used the trans brake to hold the car but was just off idle and third run with the 1.6 60 foot I was at or just shy of zero boost and about 2000rpm on the launch.
