Lol @ Stopsign.

I'm 6'7". Are you pretty athletic, Mac? If so there's a couple leg exercises that you can do to really help your vertical and they're simple as ****. That's if you care...if you don't care about dunking then disregard
Ive always wanted to dunk yea im athletic

Calf raises. Either do your body weight off of a ledge of some sort or get on a machine that you can add weight, whatever you need. Find a good weight you can BARELY do 35 times. Do 4 sets to the point your calves burn and you're struggling on the last set. Make sure to stretch first.

Leg curls help, too. Same thing, around 35 reps per set. There are a few others for someone who really wants to go after their vertical and attack every avenue.

These two really helped me get on my way. In college I was 6'7 230 with 37 inch vertical. Tore my ACL junior year, I'm 235-240 now and I am still doing 35-36 regularly.

This has all worked getting my big *** off the ground, for someone smaller it should work as well.

Feeling short at 5'10" .

In other news, picking up an LT1 with a supposed bad head gasket. Guys said the car overheated. How likely is that the head is warped or cracked? How much do stock LT1 heads go for? I am just looking to get this thing rolling for a DD or a quick flip.

Dirt cheap if you don't get the ones that are desirable for the porters like AI/LE

That reverse cooling **** is junk in every aspect other than getting to run a little bit higher compression...... I doubt it's warped or cracked I'd throw a new head gasket on it and let it ride honestly ...

Good to know. I have a buddy up in Boji who just picked up a used 800 polaris sled. What are other good reasonably priced models? He tried to tell me I could pick up a "quality used sled for $3k or less". Haven't looked into it much to be honest

I'm 5'8, feel a bit better.

Pull them off and check. They should be fine.

LT1 heads go for dirt cheap... check the local ads and whatnot in your area but I just do not see them demanding anything all that great

Would 241 heads fit on the lt1? Im sure they are better and if the fit with no issues why not get them.

Did you seriously just ask/say that?

Do everyone a favor and sell your car to buy a Prius.

You could not possibly follow through with building a turbo car if you just asked that.

Not to mention that and your lack of common sense for NOT using a tranny cooler in a stalled 4l60e

You should put an LS7 intake manifold on your LS1. I bet it would definitely pick up the flow numbers.

I saw the question earlier, and chose not to participate. I suggest everyone else do the same.

Those 241's won't fit on a LT1, but will fit on a SBF
