Default New to the ls family

New to the ls family. I'm building a lq9 89 nissan 240sx. It's been done over and over so I'm just hear to seek info and learn as much as I can. Previously owned a 509hp ca pump gas 2jz. Sold and here I am building the lq9 240. Shooting for 650-700hp though a th400. Slow progress but making time for it is what counts. Hope to meet and hear good peeps in here.

Not much going on with the 240sx yet. Still under construction and finishing up body work. The motor is currently disassemble. I just started porting the heads. Will be running ls6 cam to start off and eventually upgrade the valve train to btr or prc springs/ti retainers and btr stag 2 boost cam. Slow build but I'm pretty motivated.
