Well I ended up selling it because it was my only car and I needed a bigger car for the Fam. The dude I sold it to wrapped it around a pole and completely totaled it. Sold the wrecked car for like 4200 lmao!

I figure this car isn't a daily so why not take my time and make some serious HP. Cars are only getting faster and I plan on having my daily driver (2010 BMW 535i) make 380-400 rwhp. So i wanted something in another league of speed when this thing is done. I also love all motor setups and I would love to tell people at the car meet that its packing a 4.8L LS with a 220r cam lol

That's completely understandable. I am shooting for 730ish flywheel hp so roughly 630 or so RWHP on motor. Just praying my 10-bolt can make it through the tuning session and a little fun before it implodes....

Haha I am hoping that it lives! Eventually I'll put a 9" and a TR6060 but after spending alot on the motor I just want to drive it lol. I am contemplating leaving the 3.42's to have a prayer of hooking up. Haven't decided yet but a girdle is definitely in the cards at minimum.

thanks man! There’s a lot of stuff going on with the channel so definitely check it out especially if you like cars! Going to do a video soon on the technicalities of LS engines and do a poll on the power plant selection. I’m hoping it’ll be a fun channel for car lovers

Yeah I'm getting a rear end girdle here soon from a buddy of mine. Getting it real cheap so figured I would try it. I was looking at a 9 inch as well until I scored a really good deal on a torque arm, relocation mount for the torque arm, and some lca's. Now the S60 looks to be the best option. I think those 3.42's will be perfect with what you're planning
