Default I need your help about LS engine.

I have few questions for you about LS 1, 2 or 7 engine. I am planning to add a ProCharger as supercharger. I own a 1969 Nova SS. I haven't ever decide which one right for my car. I would it to run in between low to mid 7 second a quarter mile and over 200 MPH. What do you recommend which one?

Iron 6.0L engine block, with custom 1/2" head studs. There are only a handful of shops here that have built 7-second LSX engines.

I recommend lots of plastic and plenty of cash.

Personally I would seriously consider the Warhawk block...only prob is I don't what heads are available at this time. With the power your looking for in a LSx based set up you will more than likely lift the heads pressure up cooling system/gasket probs...JMHO

Is Iron 6.0L and LSX engine block better than LS 1, 2 or 7?

An Iron 6.0L is still a LSx.

You can look up W2W ----->

But yea be prepared to drop a whole bundle of cash on this. But ya for seven second ets...I'd say 408 or 427 ci and a whole bunch of boost in a light car. You can look at the boosted list (sticky up top) to see what setups have acheived what times. It's a good source of information.

Question




Do you have the chassis set-up for the horsepower that it takes to run in the sevens?
This is the car we ran this year, not an LS engine, but it takes a serious chassis to run that fast. http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com...Car.php?car=41 Bob
