Gotcha... I respect the 2JZ stuff but don't really follow it since I don't have a toy in that game....Very impressive 6's though.... Being from North Carolina my next trip to Texas will be with some buds to hunt hogs & varmints in late February or March.....

I kno that there is kno way of knowing without takeing the engine apart and dont expect anyone to kno unless they were possibly an owner/builder of car but i was askin if the specs i listed were capable of a 250+hp nitrous hit. As i stated it has forged crank, rods, and lunati nitrous pistons(11.1 comp). Im tryin to find the original builder but it went thru 2 trades b4 i got it. The car has very few miles on it since build.

Sorry for confusion i am a newb to ls1 but not to racing. I mean no disrespect and at the same time dont like to be disrepected.
If I wanted to direspect you would have called you a hillbilly ************ or maybe said something about your mother. What I said wasnt disrespectful it was truth.

Try and keep your panties out of a bunch and lighten up a little dawg.

whatever man u couldve left the thread as soon as u felt confused u didnt have to be a smartass but keep up your typing name calling cuz thats what people like u do behind a computer. Where are u from and what kind of cars do u have anyhow? Do you have any knowledgable info if not i would appreciate if u would leave ur comments to yourself.

Thanx josh

Almost all the aftermarket heads have thicker decks. You can't go wrong with trick flow, afr, mast/pi and a there are others like all pro that are a strictly race heads... I imagine the block is studded and with arp fasteners...

I don't spec cams but a wider lsa and a little more split is what i usually see in a n2o cam....

Looks like the car has great potential and you should enjoy it.

Does it have a wideband??
ok ive been trackin down previous owners. This car has been a racingjunk trade peice, has been traded 3 times in the last 4 months. I tracked down the guy who bought it from the actual guy that built it and have found out its not a 427 but a 383. It does have a eagle crank, eagle hbeams, and lunati nitrous pistons. I hope to find the builder for more info becuz in between the trading the cam specs couldve got twisted to. I know your probly gona laugh but what is a wideband? I appreciate the help sombitch.

ok what are the baddest heads on th market for a big inch(400+in) ls.

it has an a1000 pump. What kind of injector would support 800hp(of course thats with nitrous in the equation) and still be streetable. Also does anyone kno a good tuner around ky?

LOL I know it works if it didn't they would be out of business and some like it but the thought of it doing EVERYTHING for me is still kinda scary there are a lot more things to consider when using Nitrous than what that computer knows and I have seen a few guys pop there cars on a 100 shot b/c the computer failed them b/c it leaned out too much and the solenoids are shitty as well. And the kit is not designed to go past a 150 shot and I think the OP is looking for a 150 at the minimum.

Welcome to the site.Deff. the place you need to go to get help on your LSX car.I would find out the exact specs on the cam and anything else possible.Its a big cam for a nitrous car.When going to the track start with 150 shot with the car hooked up to a computer and work your way up to what you feel comfortable with.

thanx man. Yea i figured i would start with a 150. Im gona pull the turbo out of my nova and put in the ta so i can leave off a trans brake which should definatly pick the cars 60ft up. The way it sounds im gona need to put a better head with a thicker deck if i wanna spray it 200hp+. So i will probly check into a cam and head setup and would love to see a 5.80 et on a 26x8.5 tire. We will see i guess
