Default Lq4,Ls3 heads,L92 intake,Pat G cam- Dyno results

Combo is

lq4 stock w/ flycut -10.5 comp
821's stock other than milled 40
dual springs with T.I. retainers
pat g cam 230/238 .600/.615 112+2
l92 escalade intake stock
92 NW t/b
1 7/8 headers 3 inch collectors w/ 3 inch x pipe/ 2 1/2 catback
c5 filter with -6 line w/ 255 high pressure pump. 30lb svo injectors
stock crank pulley
ls7 clutch
new lifters
f body oil pan
gto trans with c5 gearset
4.10 gear
rotella 15/40 oil
HEAVY Steel Driveshaft
SD tune from Tick performance


Made 45x whp & 42x wtrq. Best thing about it is it holds peak power from ~5700 to
~6800. I have yet to really beat on it as it has a serious traction problem. 3rd gear rolls end up going sidewayss.I gotta get frame connectors and some drag radials. Have some steering/ camber problems I gotta work on too. Untouched heads, untouched stock truck intake, stock dish PIstons, stock pulley, and a mild cam. I have less than 2k in the engine. Lol. Plans for later on are 30 over flat top + underdrive and some h/i porting should get her close to to 500 whp.

Huge thanks to jonathan at tick performance. He met me at the shop late and on saturday because I was could not make it there during regular hours. He fixed all my little issues that popped up also. The price was very reasonable as well. I will never go to anyone else for ls work. I highly recommend them. You wil not be let down.

Actually with the long geared trans its aboit the same as it would be with a 3.55 in first and second. I had a fox that only made 370 with 3.55 and it wanted to spin thru second also. I have some dr now so im about to find out how she really pulls.

I have almost an identical build only with a Carb and auto. Same cam, but 108 lsa. Mines in a 88' GT with auto and 5200 stall. It made 437hp/375tq. It had 4.10's and has been 10.50's @ 128. Your car should roll out

Hey man, I can't believe I just found your thread on here. I just sent Pat my cam spec sheet for the truck build, can't wait to see what he comes back with. I gotta get over to check your GT out again sometime. Bet it screams. Thanks again for all your help so far.

I'd say an UD pulley and a nice intake like FAST or edelbrock and that will help it out TONS! Good looking setup so far!

Fast is not needed. The l92 is a beast. I am getting the l92 opened up, ud, 3 inch cat back, and 42lb injectors on soon. Hoping for 475!

Awesome man! I'm in the process of doing basicly the same build. I'll be picking up my LQ9 friday got it for $600 for the short block w/30k miles. Still need heads,cam and intake. I have 241's laying around but I don't think they would be very good to run.
