I'm doing the 1C for the manners not so much the power it will make more power than i want in the end so i'm def gonna do the 1C came. Talked with Land speed and we going to do stage2 port and so on so thats fixing to be underway, still on the fence about a underdrive or just a after market balancer. def going to do the Kooks 1 7/8 longtubes. My grand father took a turn for the worst so i'll probably stop there in case i need the money going to see him or whatever may pop up. He has been batteling cancer for 14 months now and the other day he feel and broke his hip and then we found out he has a infection and a anurisum or how ever its spelled so not looking good. i want to keep a few grand on me incase i need to help him in anyway or just to go see him ever chance i get he is 3 hrs away. thanks for all the comments and opinions in helping me map this out.

Sounds like you have a fun car planned. I know LS1 and LS3 are different but, I have spec'd a very stout short block for about 4k. Stock crank, h-beams, forged pistons, head work, cam, and a few other necessities. It won't be bullet proof but should be able to handle anything I'm going to throw at it, will be a fairly well mannered street engine, should be fairly receptive to a small N2O hit as well. Good luck with the car, looking forward to seeing the results of this.

if yours isn't tuned don't let any time you run get you down a dyno tune on these cars help a TON i think a 13.7 or 13.8 was my best stock but i didn't run it but like 4 times stock

ordered 2 Nitto 555R drag radials 28540R18 monday and Land Speed stage 2 heads also as soon as i find a reasonable price on some long tubes i'll order them and i'm trying to figure out how i can get my DOD delete without ordering $600 worth of parts i don't need i'll probably just order the cam from livernois and get everything else part by part

I'm going to be doing the Livenois Mini Stroker LS3 later this year or early next year so i'd need them big headers anyways lol thanks for pushing me into not being cheap on them lol...... So now if i can just get home and go to and get back from my 5 day Caterpillar schooll i can start the build. everything should be at the house waiting on me except bolts/gaskets. i'll order them the 21st. and start the build the night of the 30th i'm ready to get it together and get some track times

tell her before hand a toy for a toy if it sells it goes toward this. My lady is very understanding on that she knows that i was doing it before i met her and will be doing it even if she leaves. she also likes racing so that def helps.
