Goofy Combo...368ci MUTT

IIRC the flow on the intakes are down 15cfm from my TEA (312 vs 297) but the exhaust is comparable so we'll have to see how it does. This Carl Wagner fella is pretty notorious amongst the LS community which is why I tried to show so many different pics of these 799s

224/228 cam with TEA heads and FAST92 has him currently logging 123-124 IIRC
Pretty strong combo now experiencing traction issues

I did Heads/Cam/Fast 92 all at the same time over a year ago. Trap speed on my Gtech went from 119 to 127, so it picked up power. Gtech reads a little high on mph but I just use it to compare mods. I actually went slower et wise until I did the drag pack. Went 12.2 @ 119 bolt ons, then 12.4 126 H/C/I, then 11.58 @ 127 on the drag pack and that was a very soft launch. Raced a 118mph trap 5.0 from a 40 roll and pulled it hard . I am sure there is probably a little left in with a good dyno tune too.

I do not want to derail Jim's thread about my pile...so I will just post this for clarification. I have not taken this car to the track. Those trap speed readings are from a accelerometer (gtech) on the street. I have had it for 15yrs and its always been within a tenth of what the closest track reads. I use it to compare mods kind of like a dyno. The trap speed reads a little high so no I do not think my car traps 127. It is probably a 123-124mph car( as Jim mentioned )judging off of other cars I have raced which has only been a couple. Car weighs 33xx with no reduction other then spare delete. Its a 1sc hardtop.
Jim, nice to see that long block making its way into the engine bay! Keep me updated !!
PS* get the monster LT1 clutch.

Is this "GTECH" an app or something?

No its an actual device you stick to the windshield. Mine is the 15-20yr old unit that measures 0-60, 1/4 mi, 60-0, g force(skid pad). It was pretty popular back in the day. They have had several revisions to the unit over the years.
There is probably a phone app out now. I just use this because I have verified this unit being within a tenth of my closest track.
here is the old unit I have.
here is a good vid comparison at the track with the pro.

IIRC one turn is right around .049" based on thread pitch
So that puts my .605" intakes in that .070"-.080" range
And the .575" exhausts are .090"-.100" preload
So I'm in the factory lifter wheelhouse
Could have gotten shorter prs for the exhausts to even out the preloads but then i would have had to get some 11/32" mantons. Ugghh. Just never ends
I'm sure these .080" wall tooth pics will show jagged lines on a smoothing 5 chassis dyno, however IMO the number of over 6500 rpm blasts that I'll make
Is where my LS6 hollows will help out

Couple few updates. Took my supposedly BNIB clutch kit apart to inspect, look over, weigh. Etc basically one of those silly gear head procedures where you kinda let a piece/part tell if it's good or not. Silly I know, but I'm sure some of you all know exactly what I'm talking about even if you don't admit it. LOL
So anyways, I see markings of slight use and call my buddy who gave me this clutch in lieu of money owed and he says" I pulled it after driving the car home from the dealership".
I guess it makes sense since his plan was to track the car at Road America and that is specifically why he purchased a stick Grand Sport. (Hand built dry sump LS3) engine
So I've decided to list it for sale in the classifieds for 400 bucks and I'll prolly try to get 50-75 bucks for the original clutch out of my Vette (approx 50% left)
Think I'm going to order the Mantic ER2 kit. Seems like a decent driver friendly piece that can take some occasional abuse at my guesstimated power level. Also much lighter than the LS7 piece. Couple few lbs lighter than my original one
I also began to drill clutch dust vents in the clutch cover, bell housing will be tomorrow nights project
For sale
Marks of installation
Couple few buttercup miles
Ummm. Like new
Ready set go
Certainly not artwork, but not bad for eye balling symmetry.
Clutch dust vent holes
