John563, as long as your a/f and timing is on point, you'll be fine. Did you ever find out what your car does on motor at the track yet?

 

actually no,but its in the shop right now gettin in aBigger cam( Pat G )(232/238 612/606 111+2. I just got moved to straight first shift starting in may,so I'll start going to the track then.Thats why the bigger cam as the car is not my DD anymore and will(hopefully) see the the track.As soon as I get some time I'll be posting though

 

how long are your motors lasting with H/C/I and nitrous? doesn't 430rwhp ish + 150shot seems like a lot of stress on a stock motor even with a good tune?

 

it would be pushing it..

 

thats the purpose of this thread. To see how long people last on a stock block H/C/I plus 100-150 shot. you hear all the time from people "oh I put down 590 rwhp or 580(high 500's) and I was fine when they tuned it.I want to know how often did they spray other than the one time at the trac to see what it would run or on the dyno(one time) to see what it put down. There are a few exceptions as to the people that have posted in this thread,but of the majority that have posted they only have had it in a few months.I hear all the time that the short block can hold about 600rwhp on spray and about low 500rwhp on boost. I figure when I get my car back I'll be around 440rwhp I'm looking to do a 75-100 shot(on top of 440rwhp). I think it should hold for awhile. I read a thread hear recently by a guy that goes by ls2bait(I think) and he was wanting to know how he should do his short block since it let go.He is H/C/I and I think a 150 shot. I was hoping he would post on this thread as to how long and often he was spraying. Actually he already posted,but hope he chimes in again and let us know how long and how often he sprayed

 

well mine only lasted a few thousand miles. but i think something else is wrong and im not going to blame it on the n20. ive been shifting the car at 7k for the last 2 yrs w/ the cam.

 

You have rod bolts right?

 

^^ya.

 

back form the dead lol!! anyone else want to comment?

 

Yes...put nitrous on it, go to kilkare, take home 10 second time slip.

 

thats what I'm thinking gonna work on getting a sway bar and better tires but wanna slap on a cheap dry kit

when should I stop by and pick up my hood lol

 

mike you forgot the most important part- that my car has over 70000 miles on it with stock rod bolts- everything was safely tuned and installed by hsw the car now has a fast 90 90 setup and a 2 stage setup instead of my previous 1 stage progressive

 

Lol, pete i didnt forget, i posted that a year ago...now i do remember installing your 2 stage the other month AND i'll be whoopin your *** this spring...

 

wasn't your car on GMHIGHTECH? My car has about 73,000miles H/C/I bottom end is stock but has katech rodbolts..Isn't your bottom end stock? How many times have you sprayed? since the install

 

Yes, that was petes car on the cover. He's been spraying a 250 shot for about 3 years on our tune. I dont want to say hundreds of bottles, but pretty close to it.

 

cool,I'm looking at your dry plate or may keep it simple with a dry nozzle with your interface this spring

 

We have built alot of big HP stock bottom end cars on the juice over the years. The LS1 engine is a tuff monster. The key to survival is doing it right with the right products. What I find funny here on the forums is how many people posted they did this and taht but they dont tell you they blew it up or hurt it.. The internet can be so misleadimg at times.

sounds good, let me know if you have any questions at all, id be glad to help

 

Thats a good point dave, dont see a lot of people saying i sprayed a 200+ for a month and then blew it up. A quality kit like both our companies offer is only half the battle, having a spot on tune is the real essential. I think both of those factors is what keeps pete going strong on his stock bottom end big shot. Never even had the slightest hiccup in that beautiful car.

 

Yes That is what urks me about chat forums. You would be amazed at some advice given by people that can not even keep there own motor together. Ofcourse they dont post telling people they can not make there own advice and methods work..
