Default Finally got the 418 in my Vette
Car's been down since the start of February, I'm soooooo glad to have it back. It's got a few stock parts on it where I just ran outta money, but those will be replaced soon.

sounds good, the things I would do for a 418 CI vette and I see you ran out of money but you are REALLY choking that thing with the LS1 intake and exhaust manifolds... guess you'll be pleasantly surprised in the power difference when you change those out

The future plans include FAST LSXR 102mm intake, headers, ported L92 heads, 42lb injectors, walbro fuel pump, coil over suspension to get rid of the leaf springs and SOME kind of throttle body....does anyone know if FAST has a 102mm TB as well or am I just gonna have to use a 92mm tb?

You say your planning on installing 42lb injectors. I really hope you don't still have the stock ones in there.

I've got Z06 injectors on their now, not bad for the horsepower it's putting down now but they definitely need to be upgraded asap.

Question: Why wouldn't you just spend like 200 bucks for the ls6 intake then when you get your new one and resell the ls6 for 200
