U added some unneeded complexity with two gates, but overall it looks good.

I'm loving this. Currently have my own 6.0L apart and doing something similar for my '61 Chevy Apache.

Also from BC, by the way!

Awesome! I'm sure I'll see you out and about

sure did. I was a little paranoid about boost creep but also love the look

Off to the machine shop :)

Well I swear I'll have an update soon. But in the spirit of being a complete madman I sold my entire ls3 top end and cam. I picked up some 317s and a pile of cash. Plan now is ls9 cam, summit dual springs and bank the rest. I figured for my goals the l92s weren't really necessary. If I make 30hp less and have a grand in the bank for a spare engine what do I care?

How does my new setup sound. Gen 4 internals, 317s, ls9 cam, summit dual springs, 7875. Hopefully will get me in the 550-600 range on 94 octane. I'm thinking about water meth now though. What do you guys think?

Teaser shot for ya!

Beautiful car, great work and great imagination! On the power goals and meth, I think you could easily get 600wheel without meth, but I'm not sure of your static compression. Whom is going to tune it? If you said earlier and I missed it, sorry. I think I would try tuning first with just the best octane pump gas and seeing what, if any, knock activity you incur first. If the A/F ratio is the best you can get w/o knock but you still haven't reached your HP goals, then consider Meth or E85. That's just me though.

Engines all done!


RealQuick 03-20-2019 10:14 PM

Nice job! I enjoyed the vid.

Headers coated and my new intake! Deka 80s are hiding under those rails

Well, she's running! Here's a quick little video overview of what I've been up to. The LS swap video I did was really popular and a lot of people liked it so I'm going to make the exact same type of video for how to turbo an LS and explain in a lot more detail why/what I did. I've just been getting killed with time lately. I know this isn't the best video but enjoy!

Looking good, always great once you get them up and running.

CasperCasper 09-30-2019 03:48 PM

Heres a summer update and some action shots! Big changes to come



C5_Pete 10-01-2019 09:38 AM

Well done!

CasperCasper 10-02-2019 03:12 PM

Well I've got some great news and am excited to introduce my new sponsor, Holley! I'm going with a dominator system which is extremely complete. It will run my engine, trans, boost control and water meth, as well as all of my canbus gauges! I will be posting lots about how the system all works together. It's the most complete package on the market and I'm excited to get started. As many of you also know Hurst Shifters is owned by Holley so I'm going to be running this beautiful quarter stick! Here are a few pics:

Those gauges are slick

CasperCasper 10-12-2019 01:47 PM

So here's my first video outlining everything you need to know about the Dominator and showing you what components are required. I'm so excited to be able to integrate EVERYTHING into one computer. The features are endless. Enjoy!
