Has anyone built one yet and put some hp to it?? It's killing me to find out if the 6 bolt set up is going to solve the head gasket issue. I want to see if someone is going to put down 1300-1500 rwhp without lifting the heads.

 

at least like 11-12 psi!!!

 

Are you still running @ 20psi or did you turn it up?

 

is there any 6 bolt heads even available yet?
isnt gmpp supposed to release some 6 bolt heads this yr.?
i believe i read in a mag., that they would be releasing some 6 bolt heads
similar to the ones used on reggie jackson's camaro.

 

the only ones i even know of are the ones that kurt urban was doing. a set of AFR's as far as i know progress was coming along good. look for the thread in here

 

Six bolt heads are out!

 

where?

 

ETP--------------------> sponsor

 

gotcha. they are always on top of the new developement thats for sure.

 

Yea they might be OUT, but good luck getting some. Were not having any trouble making 1500+ with our little 4 bolt heads and an alum. ls2

 

my pistons are in transit, should have tomorrow, then off to the machine shop

any 4-6 weeks and I'll be running again. Doing a few other upgrades as well.

I picked up ETP heads with 6 bolt pattern... been about 5 weeks since I placed my order, last week they were being machined... so shouldn't be too much longer. Not that bad of a wait. 6 bolt setup will be worth it.

 

man your ready to go before i was, its kinda sad. i really need to get some time to finish working on it. who did you decide to go with as far as machining. im gonna go with koenig

 

Making the power isn't the problem, keeping the water in the block is!

 

Koenig for sure.

 

local guy here will be building his to handle for a 600 shot of nitrous. should be pretty nasty and he will keep it on the street too.

 

what are you guys doing to get the headers to fit? same geometry?

 

While their are limitations to everything I think the LSX is, and will continue to be the best option. I think any more improvements to gasket sealing would mean changing to a different platform.

 

I think even with the LSX block if you neglect to take the precautions that you have with your current set up you will continue to push water...ex re-tourqeing headstuds,turning on 2nd pump before 1/4 mile pass,or making sure there is enouigh fuel in the tank.You realize that we have had a car together that has run within a few 10th's and mph of your car and hasn't had the heads off in 3 1/2 years
