@mikey97zm6, I decided not to get the roller rockers anyways. Like you said they are a waste of money on an LS1. I did pick up a gm z06 85mm maf, 98mm lid and a 160 degree thermo. I should have had my fast 90 ported but I don't want to invest to much money in this motor. I will be building a new motor sometime in the near future whether anyone believes me or not lol

So my car is coming together. I need a degree wheel now and to learn to use it. Also when I was putting my valve springs on, I had the tool come loose and I lost a retaining clip. But its getting there

I don't know why you guys don't like the 5.3 heads. 5.3 vs 243/241/799 they all flow pretty much the same when PnP..
Yeah this year was garbage..lol..
Not much to brag about but I was goin to work Friday morning and this STI pulled up to me and wanted to race. Turbo sounded pretty loud so I have him the race. Let's just say he didn't win.. I pulled him pretty bad lol.. Anyways just thought I throw that out there.

The top fuel dragsters and funny cars are actually putting out over 10,000 HP. Many of the top dragster/top sportsman cars and some of the super comp cars are running 700+ cubic inch engines and even a few guys are running the 1000 CI engines.

The just did a test at the US Nationals last weekend and most were over 10k and a few were 11k. Yes it use to be 8k. And the 1320 mph record was set at 335 mph @ 8k hp before they went to 1000 feet and now the 1000' mph is 332.
How they measured it was with a torque meter on the driveshaft and then use the following equation......
(RPM x Torque)/5252= estimated HP

The spring and retainer actually hit me when the spring compressor let loose. Luckily I was wearing safety glasses or else I would probably be wearing an eye patch. Lol
