Damn you must surprise a lot of people with that thing! You yanked him from a dig. AWD I'm guessing? Nice runs though, I would hate to have a big old truck running side by side with me like that

Nice runs!! what stall do you have? did you ever cam it or is it still just stock LS1 with boltons/ported TB and Intake?

What's your gas mileage now btw? I know that was one of the reasons you did the swap to begin with.

Seriously, we never see it the front in videos. Good kill, only thing that killed the win in the one roll was being a brickwall in the wind. Love the American flag headliner too!


Time to put that stuff on the bench to goo use!

After most likely. We're doing a short runner intake test. I'm going to retune my car with 39lb injectors and a 90mm MAF. Then we're slapping on the PSRI and retuning to see how much HP a PSRI will gain over a ported intake. It should be interesting.

Its still a stock 1998 corvette LS1 with 853 heads, stock cam, headers, cai, ported tb, ud pulley. stock stalled 4l60e with np208 transfer case.

I got 17 mpgs last tank, but I just wired up my lockup and even with the stock stall rpms drop 300 rpms, so next tank i'm hoping to get 18-19 ish...It may be possible to break 20 after I get a good dyno tune and my other 02 sensor wired up
