Somebody is cheating

I saw a 454LSX motor being built the other day at local shop to make it appear to look like stock LS2 motor by milling off the name of the heads and size and making it look like a rough cast. Painted black new Fast intake manifold with the lettering removed.

That was the IndyHP shootout Wayne. Indyrpm is in no way affiliated with IndyHP.

There probably won't be an IndyHP shootout again this year. We will probably have a private track rental tho. I will make sure you get an invite.

So I read they stopped deliverys and selling the new ZL1 after the first delivery do to an issue.

So any guesses?

I bet the new owner went to a dyno day and it didn't produce the numbers. Or They found out the chinese copied version of the GTO IRS exploded on a set of drag radials.

They are turning the wick up to help fend off them muffdangs. And the IRS will be fine. It definately isn't a copy of the crap ford put under the 03/04 cobra
