Hi, I just finally got the car dialed in and had it dyno tuned today with the new motor. I figured I would post the results to share with the community. I am going to Watkins Glen in October to run the car. Set up is as follows...

- stock LS1 intake, 228R cam, PRC 5.3L stage 2 heads, hardened pushrods, LS2 timing chain, ported and high pressure Texas speed oil pump, LS7 lifters, forged J & E Pistons, full open exhaust with X-pipe.

This is a full road race car. The car put down 414 RWHP and 393 ft. lbs of torque. At 2000 RPM over 300 ft. lbs was ava. and at 5400 RPM it was making over 400 RWHP. Very happy with the numbers and the build.

Here is the link from you tube on the 2nd pull when we got it dialed in...


The components from Texas Speed were great and made super power for the set up I wanted. I live in NE PA, so Phoenix Performance built the motor, in specific Larry Roberts. He did an awesome job and Mike from Rapid Motorsports did the tuning at Phoenix performance. These people were both recommended to me from the LS1 Tech community. Great advise that I thank now. Just wanted to give some feedback and thanks to the LS1 tech community and share some results to other enthusiasts. Thanks again.

Why did you stick with the stock intake? I would think you're leaving about 20-25hp on the table, if not more...nice setup though

If the racing classes are based on power to weight, he may not want more power. The cam was likely to put the powerband where it'll be used most on a road course.

True about the intake and HP figures, honestly I just needed to bring the build to a close and as we all know the wallet was getting tight. The set up was to get a wide torque band and not have to rev the hell out of it to improve longevity.

That's great! good job. Which kit are you using? Renegade? Texas Concepts (Erik) A mixture?

I'm still putting mine together. Working on the final details at this point.

What class are you looking to run. ? NASA? SCCA? PCA?

I certainly went too in depth on my build. I cant help myself. It's what I do though.

Very nice results, and thanks for the feedback. Let us know if there is anything else we can help you with!

Good set up man! It's all in the heads!

I used the Renegade kit which worked well. I did buy my vss from Texas Concepts and they were helpful too. I plan on starting out next year with Emra which is a lower key racing body here in the NE and then move over to NASA. Again thanks to the team at Texas speed, they recommended the right set up and I was super pleased with not only the results but the quality as well.

It is in the heads and I think we all take it a little to far. It like, well I went this far, might as well do it since I am already here mentality.
