LSX is ready to be dropped in tomorrow (PICS!)
Seriously though, I've actually been searching a little since you mentioned it. I had a real problem launching my car with the 682rwp and 4l60e, 3.73 gears, SS4000 stall, full suspension and a 28" QTP. The SS4000 was from when I was N/A and I just left it in but it hit way too hard. The best 60 I cut was 1.6 because I could not floor it until I got going or I would break the tires loose. I thought the th400 would help with that because the 1st gear isn't quite as agressive. Plus I will purchase the stall according to everything else to make sure it's stalling to where I need. How much do glides run? It might still be a posibility, I would love to actually be able to launch the car.
little off the FI topic but is your new hood a full pin on or does it use the struts and hinges too?

At the power level you are looking at, a glide seems like a good idea. I didn't think I was making enough power to need one, but after last weekend I guess it might be LOL
Glide is a stronger tranny too, th400 2nd gear starts to become slightly unreilable at about 1000 hp, which with a 402 and a F2 blower is well within the range of possible, especially with the intake that you're running once you put some real heads on the car.
Me too, lol.
I figured with FI, you don't need huge cubes to make huge power, some guys even do it with the 346. I wanted to go a little bigger but still keep the cylinder walls nice and thick. It was either 408 or 402 and I found the pistons I wanted for a really good deal in the 4.000 size. So 402 it is.
No, I need to figure that out once I know exactly where the F2 will be mounted so I get the right length.

I think it's a little overkill and leaving power on the table. Guys are running 8s on aluminum blocks with signifigantly less structural integrity when compared to the LSx block. If you goal is only 8.9x then you should go for as much power as possible. The less boost you run the easier it's going to be on parts. I can see his point about saving money on the pistons.
Don't think that lsx block is the end all of strenth, they break too.
With a boost application, I'd leave it around a 400 inch motor, you get too much bigger then that and the heads and everything else will become so critical, that the chances are it's not gonna even make any more power.

It's a Nick Williams. He doesn't normaly make them though. He's only made a couple. He told me he had enough left over parts laying around to build one more but I can't garuntee he'll make any more. You would have to contact him to find out if he's willing to make another and how much. It takes some time to get because I think it's just on the side for him.

Are sure your not thinking of his standard 90mm, he makes those in large masses, try finding his 100mm for sale anywhere, I don't think you'll find it. Why would he lie?
