So far, Bore 4.125 with a 4.00 stroke.(428CI)
Heads im giving a little time to decide,Waiting to see what they release.
It will have a 101MM turbo,Solid Roller.
Looking to go Drag Radial racing.And im tired of the GN,It currently runs low 9s But should run high 8s next time out on radials.(IT IS FOR SALE!)
I am looking for a 94-02 Camaro chassis that is fairly well equipped(cage,k-member,etc..)

Wow Otto! Stepping it up for sure. You must be getting tired of blowing up Buick Stage motor stuff....

I recognize you from turbobuick(s).com.

That LSx motor will absolutely rip. I agree on the more aerodynamic body as well. Probably a lot safer too!

Are you gonna spray I would assume or go forced induction? If not, and your staying N/A, why not go to a 4.250 bore and take advantage of that bad boy block and match with a 4 inch crank would make for one bad *** fast and high revving N/A drag race motor! If your going f/i your plans make great sense with lots of meat left over for future rebuilds if necessary making this maybe the last block you will need for a heck of long time!

Best of luck and I see one of these in my future at 4.25 x 4.25 482+cid, perfectly squared, 600+rwhp, N/A LSX motor.

Otto is looking to make well over 1000rwhp I'm sure. Coming from the Buick GN world he is a turbo guy.
