The stock PCM will fuel the car to 9k.Ask Sean about it..he shifts his car at 8500 on nitrous.![EEK !!](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_eek2.gif)

I mean, nevermind the fact that with a FAST/BS3 you can use a distributor and an MSD 7530 box. Nevermind the fact that with an MSD box you can program per-gear timing and fuel curves? Who ever would've imagined these things would make your car faster with any given hp. Making power and using the power you make are two different things.

I don't know why people say these N20 cars lift the heads so badly. I can see it happening if you do something stupid with the nitrous. Maybe those people should concentrate on making more power without the nitrous instead of just pilling that ***** up.
Powell has a 408, not a 346.

Give me this thought it is not easy to make 500plus HP w/ a stong forged 346...All motor yes but set up with good parts for N2O it isn't that easy....
I will also state that w/ a good 408 U and Powell are on the thesehold of 8's...
Like I said earlier I don't think anybody realized that he was not H/C...Hence why this thread is still going...LOL See you at Thunder....

There's people with alot of money on this board. IF it was so EASY how come NO ONE has done it?????? The fact is that it's not easy. MANY people have tried and are still trying! People that say different have no clue. If not, prove me wrong. I really like the 1000hp comment. I would like to see you keep the water and head gaskets in the motor on spray. That would be a neat trick! I can't even believe that I'm responding to such a stupid comment. Dream on in la la land.

Let me ask you all a question. How come the SAM car is so far? Why hasn't everyone and thier mom duplicated it? What about Joe O.'s car? Where are the LT1 guys who do what he does?
It's simple.. Most everyone here just goes by whats been done, and never tried anything new!

I feel that I went 9's without alot of trouble.
Rossler trans $3000
Certified roll cage $2500
CCW wheels and tires $2500
5.3 Stg 1.5 heads with o-ring $1600
Cartech headers $800
Stainless works exh $1000
TNT kit $500
Comp cam $400
fuel pump $250
rearend shaft $200
ARP head studs $200
LS6 intake, Vararam, mass air, injectors, tuning, etc.
So quite abit of hard work and $15K I was in the 9's. Now bare in mind with a killer set of LS6 heads the car made 100 RWHP MORE POWER, enough to go 150 mph in the quarter. But at that power level it gets very difficult to keep the heads on, and of course with a Corvette, makes it pretty much impossible to get down the track without parts breakage. We went 9's without breaking one part.

Do you have enough experience with FAST or BS3 to realize how much more power there is by switching to those systems as opposed to using LS1-Edit. I mean, nevermind the fact that with a FAST/BS3 you can use a distributor and an MSD 7530 box. Nevermind the fact that with an MSD box you can program per-gear timing and fuel curves?
