Just about to turn the key on F1A LSX 427 LSX 427 & F1A about to come to life. Injector driver, Snow Perf Meth kit, vapor recovery system, too much to list, etc. completed & in. Waiting on fuel line fittings to feed the A2000. Enjoy...

Holy cow man, I was about to post up a thread asking about a setup like this.. I'm very curious how it will perform.. What size injectors are you using?? The only difference with the one I'm gonna build is that I'm gonna run a FMIC, ETP 6 bolt heads, and a GMPP intake with intake elbow... I'm wanting something that is very streetable but makes good power on pump gas... I'm not looking to break any records (right now) just want a good reliable setup and it looks like this setup will be a good go by for me...Let us know how it runs...
BTW keep an eye on that FAST Intake... I hear they are notorious for having problem with sealing under boost... Other than that it looks like a solid setup... Good job sir...

nice This is the car featured in a GM High Tech Performance mag a while back right? Love the car and now love the new setup minus the FAST and twin intercoolers, but it's the owner's choice. Awesome car man.

I'll post all of the results when I have them. I'm anxious as well. I'm not too concerned with the FAST and LQ9s. It should breath well enough and be stout enough for the street/strip. The CAM card is in the car with all of the other documentation so I'll get the specs later. The F1A will probably not be running at max. Simple pulley changes as you all know but, if anything catastrophic ever happens then the LSX has more cubes to grow and then a pulley change on the F1A to match will be a simple task. Just planning ahead is all. Thanks for the comments, it has been a project for sure.
And, yes this was the car in HPP in May '05. I didn't own the car then, only since Feb '06. To see all I have done or have had done click on the Mecham/Custom Paint in my sig.

looks like a sweet build just confuses me. twin intercoolers would seem like a restriction. and all that sweet high dollar stuff u have on that motor and u used a patriot head? would have expected to see an etp or afr head. still very curious to see how the monster runs

We'll see about restriction on a boosted setup, but I doubt it will be much.
The intercoolers in this kit are larger than the usual F-Body kit twin setup, or so I have been told.
As far as the heads...
It was either going to be TFS or Patriots. Desktop dyno flow numbers were close enough to go with the Patriots for half the cost. Plus they already had everything needed for a 600+ lift cam. But, this is all still speculation at this point isn't it? If I hit the numbers I want what difference does it make?

flow numbers are really only part of the equation and not incredibly important on a boosted application as compared to a n/a. one. i was more or less reffering to the thicker head deck which would aide u as im sure u will be running a good chunk of boost with an f-1 and overall just a superior design. like i said im sure its going to make killer power though and im curious to see it.
