I remember reading about a guy who was making a movie kind of like that. I don't remember what it was called and I don't think it was close to being finished yet, but if I find the info again I'll post it up.

Lots of food, competitions, etc.

They had 500 cars with very little advertising last year. This year they're advertising a lot and trying to double it. My friend (the OP of the thread i linked to) helps run the club so i'm helping him where i can.
They do a BBQ and pig roast and put a lot of time into the event.
It's only about an hour drive from Hartford. I'll be making the 2.5 hour drive up, hopefully i'll be able to meet a few LS1tech members.

Beans, if my Z28 breaks then you'll have to find me some runs for the G8

N/A means you want to build your motor
Boost means turbo
Then he tried to attack me but I stopped caring after a bit.

I've got a few friends at Amherst who would be willing to run and a decent match for the G8.
Don't worry, i'll bring the GoPro.

I'm trying to figure out if I want to high boost on E85. I'm trying my best to understand the restriction/limits of the LS motor but there aren't many smart Honda owners.
The GSR motor and the LS motor are nearly the same shortblock wise yet the GSRs seem to last longer and limited to 350whp where as the LS motor I'm told is limited to 300whp. My theory is that the LS head sucks, everyone knows that. So more boost = same whp. Yes it has lower compression but I'm wondering if the added heat from more boost is causing detonation or what. The place I got the turbo from said they have a LS motor that makes 330whp ON RACE GAS. I asked why race gas for only 330whp and he said what I said, the head sucks. So I don't know

A friend of mine owns a subaru and honda shop. He owns a few boosted hondas and has been building them for a decade.
I'll send him a text if you have any specific questions.
What are the details of the setup?

Yea I wasn't feeling the progress I was making OR the consistant threat of lowlifes stealing my car lol. S2000 is muuuuch harder to steal and more expensive to mod so less ppl will want to steal cuz they don't have the car to swap parts to lol. Also, it has forged pistons stock so it takes a bolton turbo kit very well (which will be happening)

Ask him if he thinks since the LS motor has a restrictive head that, that limits the power to 300whp because of heat being built up in the motor and if the block/sleaves are actually limited to 300whp or if more power can be safe with a higher octane gas.

GSR's will make the same power with less boost essentially. IF your trying to make big numbers and you want a better powerband then thats the way to go.

I don't know a lot about Hondas, but cylinder pressure can play a big role in a motor's limits.
