I'm not 100% sure but i'm almost sure that this engine combo is for sale and is being parted out right now......

saw it on yellowbullet.com and the dude who was selling the stuff's screenname was "big purple" and it was an LT1 twin turbo setup..... i was pissed cause someone already bought the friggin headers for 900 bucks..... ARRGGGHGHHGHGHGHGH....

Maybe 8.55 was the limit and owner wants to go faster????

The LT1 has been put up for sale. We havent found the limits of anything block related. Never even pushed a head gasket. The reason for the change is that the races we go to the car needs a ton more power and the only way for us to get there is with more cubic inches.

That's what I figured..... that's sweet tho that the car's block was fine.... i'm considering a swap to an F2R Procharger on my LT1 after I get the car in the 8.80's on spray.... I can't get what I want for the motor turnkey in this economy so i am probably gonna keep it...

anyways well done guys, i imagine the block is o ringed?
I nevered heard of a Ai 200cc or whatever. The AFR heads i have is the best in my opionon i used for my combiniation and have yet to finds their limits.. I want to run a 275 outlaw drag radial class and needs more ci to make more power to compete in the class. AFR heads are the best head for lt1's. trickflow etc simply dont cut it.. My heads are 220cc.

Purple is your car 25.2 or are you running 1/8th mile in that 275 class????

All our tracks out here are 1/4 mile and i'm running 9.0 right now..... if i put alot more power down like i will with an F2R i can't go much faster than my 8.50 cert.....

25.2 is FRIGGIN BANK.....

OK Thank you! BTW if you could PM me the stats & part numbers on those pistons and rods and conectors that you had that would be great. That way I can buy them some time...
