All I can say is WOW!

That is badass.

 

yea, these ls1's really fly... wa wa waaaa

 

Thats freakin sick!!!!

 

Thats badass, an LS1 in a plane!

 

It's even got a turbo mouted back there!

 

that pic has been around like pam anderson.

still very cool

imagine the oiling system it has to keep reliable at high rpm for extended periods

 

I wonder if that one of those competition planes that race around a circle coarse marked by poles on the ground ?
Don't know what they call it, but it's cool to watch. I use to see it TV every now and then and always thought it was bad ***. They really put themselves through alot of G's in the turns. Also watching them jockey for position gets interesting. The pilots that fly them have a ton of skill no doubt.

 

ya thats been around, i believe someone said the turbo is necessary for it to breathe in the thin air at altitude or somthin like that

 

Thats nice!!

 

Not only that but it would also do wonders for it in altitude changes high to low low to high etc. Stroker SS what school are you going to?

 

The turbo's roll is double, pressurizes both the engine and the cockpit(10psi) for high altitude flying, something like 29,000 ft. and it cruises at 385 mph up there.

BTW im going to the Michigan Institute of Aviation and Technology.
