Who did you get the 4L60E from?

Simply bad ***!

The stance is sick, completely done meticulously. Very good decisions on the recon work.

FLT. It needs to be upgraded to their level 7. I think this combo would benefit with a trans with a manual valve body and not shifted electronically.

I believe if I can recall, I sent him my stock LT1 heads for his LE2 porting with the exception of using lightweight LS1 valves. He also ported the intake and open them for 58mm throttle body, cam was in the 240's @.050---sounded nasty. It made only 413 rwhp, and thats with the stock bottom end. Check out the youtube vid on my sig, that was the old LT1.

UPDATE:
Proformance TH400 RMVB w/T-Brake, PTC 8" converter, Strange chromoly driveshaft and Hurst pistol grip shifter installed. But much too late to make some runs here in Chicago. Temps are in the teens and snowing. Longing for Spring to come,lol.

Badass. What airpan and filter is that? Think it will flow enough for that big motor?

I was looking into an airpan setup, but planned on running a drop filter base to clear my 3" cowl. I have a supervic though so it sits pretty high, like 1/8" taller than a MAST...and I want to keep at least the driver wiper - since, ya know, street car and all that . Pretty sure I read somewhere that the LT1 has more room at the cowl than the LS does with a single plane?

Puck, the filter up top is just to keep dirt out while cruising to the local town car show. I will run no filter at the track

Sweet ride BOLO. Underneath pics looks clean like my old junker. If my 383 ever lets go I will do a big inch SB2 or a SBC 11* Brodix setup. Looks like 9’s N/A is in your future.

Nice set up, now you are making me sick... looks like I need to get off my *** and get back to the Formula. But this weather sucks for working in the barn. Looking forward to some results.

I will most likely always have an LT1 for a drag car, but my next DD will be either LS6 or LS3...still undecided . I like the LS3 more obviously, but I prefer the C5Z body to the C6 LS3...decisions, decisions!

Puck, I'm also on a mission for something that I can take long weekend cruises with the wife. I love the C6 body style--whether it be the Z06, GrandSport,or the standard C6. And you know it ain't going to stay stock,lol.
