You don't listen to the best advice given and talk back to the guys that are really pushing the envelope. Its a bold statement to say your builder is years ahead of anyone here... prove it. I think you're in for a major surprise/dissapointment. But hey, prove me wrong

I really took that as a joke from PSJ.
Is your setup going to be pushing the envelope?
And not to add to the drama, but would you name some of the LSx builds that he has done that puts him light years a head of everyone? What kind of power are they doing, more than 2500? are they doing 7's and 6's in the 1/4 or better in a full body car? Never heard of them so just wondering what they were doing? Surprised you don't have them cutom fab a kit for you since they have the best power, price and reliability...

I wish I knew this builder was 5 miles from my house, I had no idea until after I got my 436ci.
He makes more power than every other builder with tiny cams and his own ported heads. His 416ci's are making 530 RWHP with 230ish sized cams and his head cam jobs for Z06 427ci customers are almost at 600 RWHP. Real 600 RWHP, not lies and dyno tricks like a couple builders have claimed. 30-40 more hp on everything. He's been in the same location for 30 years, lets see the other shops last that long.
And yes, most of his clients are 6 and 7 second drag cars. He's doing a 2,200 hp LSX build right now for a guy who runs 6's with a Grand National. The engine in it now was built by this guy 3 years ago and the guy is still running 6's with it. He's replacing it with the LSX.
He usually has no less then 2 C5R builds going at any time and a dozen LSx set-ups at any one time. He's getting 400 cfm from his LS7 ported heads too.
He doesn't do turbo fabbing or installs...all he does is build engines, thats it. He's in his 60's and can't do heavy labor and all up under cars and bending down in the engine bays anymore.
And people wonder why there's so many badass cars down here in South Florida, there's a few off-the-radar builders liek this. I asked him why he's not a sponsor on LS!tech.com.....he said, "what the hell is LS1tech.com
" I told him and he said, "**** the internet". He doesn't have a computer, he doesn't have internet at home or work, he doesn't advertise anywhere.....He doesn't need to, word of mouth is all it takes when you've been around as long as he has with great products.Its just the facts man.
I like it here because there's alot of smart people with great experiences, but jeez, it really sucks when someone can't spend a year asking **** and researching different possible set-ups before they drop $30,000.
Oh well.....as he says......"thats the ****** internet for ya."

+1 for a ban because I have seen tons of good advice ignored. Okay, maybe I am not a good critic....because I have not followed his threads. But if he has a history of spamming up the FI section with, "2,000whp A/C DD threads".....then by all means, ban away.
Now if he doesn't buy the OFI kit in the next month or so, then ban stick for sure.
EDIT---I just read his last post ~2 above mine. ****, he knows the best LSx engine builder in the universe.....what does he need us or any of the sponsors for. He's got it all figured out!

I need to wake up? I have been doing what you want to do for years now. Except A/C

I am giving you a 6 month vacation from the site. That gives you enough time to get your car together. Good luck, but your attitude got old and you are borderline insulting to a lot of guys on here who have made big power like you want, and/or have run record setting ET and MPH.
So, take a deep breath, and go order those parts. If you do an OFI kit, Joel contact me once the kit ships, but until then don't bother us.

I don't care for censorship. Nobody has to respond to his threads. I see plenty of threads that get no responses at all and quickly get buried. It's also kind of entertaining seeing everybody getting pissed off. I've been here awhile and some of the most entertaining threads ever were the Mightymouse/Rob Raymer ones.
