That thing will be sick at the track, I cant wait to go back to turbo.. Having the squeeze is nice, but nothing beats the street power of boost!

Have you seen him drive!?!?!!?
Besides I want my motor to last more than three passes! 
So would you say the big cubes and turbos work well together?
Because i have a lt1, and when i go to do the bottom end im not sure if i want to do a 350 or a 396... but im not sre how big of a turbo i want to try and stuff under the damn hood. a 350 and a GTS76 are capable of some sick power. But what size turbo would i need on a 396 and what are the extra cost of doing a large cube motor ya know?
sounds sick.. we need vids of it

Hard to say. Something caused it to happen, that motor had NO TIME ON IT! LME is stepping up to the plate and helping, I got a few bucks together for him. I would LOVE to know the exact cause of the problem!
Just a note: I run 3:50 gears in my car (9 in) and unless I really wind it out I am in OD by the end of the 1/4...sometimes, I cant help but have to shift it...so something a lil less might be a good idea....3:23 or at very most 3:42

You should have me covered easy...you got better everything (ETP heads vs stock 241's, 408 vs 347 cubes, new everything, etc), more boost (I only run 15 MAX), and I'm sure your suspension, etc is better too but I just want to have some fun with another turbo ls1.
