I'd say we have quite a few LS1 guys around, but either they don't know how to use the internet, no money, or simply aren't true enthusiasts.
I thought we had a lot of interest for the meet up this year and only a few showed, but we had a great time with the group we had...
i don't really care

If my car isn't up for the trip my friend "zacht" here on tech will probably want to go and ill ride with him...
He has a pretty nasty setup in the works... Heads/Cam/nitrous, he just went back to afganistan, and has a whole garge full of parts ready to go on his WS6. He should be back in march, then we can tear his car down and build it up.

LOL yeah i get that alot. I am more of a cam guy should have went that route in the first place. I should be making about the same pwr as i am now. I dont think i will do much more after this build. Maybe 3800 stall with 3.73 gears. Here are the cam specs its a big bitch 243/259 .691/.702 w 1.8 rocker 112 CL.

I bought my car last september stock with 64000 miles...
did a cam only setup with vig3600 and was fun...
then did heads, was a little more fun...
bought an STS kit, really fun.... killed the ls1.
Now I have my DIY front mount, and is just awesome..
Working on getting a Th400 with transbrake at the moment, cant wait!

Ya that is a big cam!!!! I was making around 420ish with a 227/231 .614 .617 112+2!!
What are you looking to make? I dont see how you could make the same power as you did with the procharger... unless your runing really low boost.
I am making ok power, 528hp and 491tq ... I have an issue above 5600rpm it drops like a rock... once i get it figured out i should push 600hp...

Yeah i have been watching your build nice setup. As long as i can get in the 10's on motor alone i am happy. There is a guy with the same setup on corvette forum with the same package as me but he has a manual and 3.73 gear and 102 Fast. And he is running a 10.23 or 10.33 i cant remember i will have to check.

660hp with no power adder is NASTY! There many guys going up there making more than 500hp? It seems pretty common to be making 500hp now-a-days...

Um i dont really remember what people were putting down for numbers last year. There were a couple bolt on cars at the meet but no 500hp cars. I know there will be alot more 500+hp cars next year. Atleast i hope people are telling me they have parts on order and so forth. And being next year it will be open to vette, gto, f-bodies and so forth i think we will have more power. But when it gets dark we go out to a old highway and race them which is a long strech of road. I mean really it will be a good time. Meet up at the lakes talk for a couple hours, go for cruise, come back talk more, gets dark then go out to old highway 6 and run them, then head back to camp and drink more COLD beer and bs. It went to fast just ask everyone i talked the whole time.

I am not used to being around other people making more power than me, lol itll be a nice change! maybee i can learn some stuff. I live in a tiny town and everyone is used to old school and the ls1 is some alien motor or something! LMAO!
I can find anyone to race around here either..... I am gonna try to make it to a track a few times next year also... never ran a 1/4 at a track! It looks like a blast compared to the street!
I hope to have a foged big cube motor in the next few years... wont be for a long time though. I want to have a reliable 800hp, but that cost $$$$$. Im trying to buy a house at the moment, so any big purchases are on hold for a while....
