Agreed.

We are doing a similar project this winter but looking for daily driven 750+rwhp.Meaning that it can be driven 500+ miles in complete comfort.Luckilly for us LS1 owners there are better parts being made so we can finally break into high HP without barrels of $$

The only drawback is the blower bracket.The biggest project we will do is solid mount the blower with a custom bracket that will support the whole blower(not 3 bolt's),straighten out the intake and run a 12 rib setup.There is room with some cutting/welding There is a F3R at the shop,wonder if it will fit.

Your nuts....
U have a complete setup running low 11's and we both know it'll go 10's in a few weeks.I'd put a seperate fuel system in the car with a LSX/90MM TB and have ESP (ken) put a direct port DRY setup.

Then bring the car down here to Dales (www.injection-connection.com) and install a BIGSTUFF III engine management and hit the juice You think the blower felt good,hit a 400 shot off the line and see how that feels,Scotty

BS III is the very best engine management on the market.
U can run low imp. injectors and tune the Bigcomm software via a timing/delay/dry N20 control.

Boost????
Turbo setup----->Dale would be doing it.
Just ask Leo Barnabey (NEVERLIFT) or JOE from JE PERFORMANCE who's helping or building turbo setups for them

Scott, Im with ya man, but here we go again..a car that will have more down time...not due to quality, but because all the power it will make. You will either break ****, or hurt yourself. Have you caught on yet that I just want to keep you in the 11's.

jammer I know that with the mods I made this week that the car is a 10.80 car in the good air. I went 11.40 at 4300 ft so I know in the good air the car is going 10's no problem. But I was thinking of FI or maybe I put a carburated 454 900hp motor in it and go race prostock...lol on the fastest street car series...

Back to FI huh. I knew you'd do it just from the way you talked about that car. I'm thinking that after my driveline is set, I may go this route too. A valvespring/pushrod upgrade and a blower, and when I am ready for big power, do the motor and change the pulley. Unless I decide on a turbo setup.... In that case, reconfigure the wastegate....
