Raced the local self proclaimed z06killer in the area last week. Enjoy

Haha, nice vid and kill.

I can't see it?????

Z06 killer....not really. Lol

lolz.

Good runs

That was a beating!

Nice kill op, he needs to change his name now lol

Swapping out an LS3 for an LSA :huh:

Good kill OP

Be nice if we can see it

AKA #StockZ06killer... lol

Well the LSA is an overall better & stronger engine than the LS3. Stronger block, upgraded crank, pistons & rods (stronger & lighter rotating assembly), upgraded oiling system, stronger & better flowing heads. Makes sense.

Lsa lol

At what cost?

Good kill, man! Pulled pretty hard.

btw..was that the theme to the Titanic? I think something a little more badass in the background would have been a bit more suitable...

jk..

Who knows. Original LS3 could offset the cost quite a bit I suppose. A certain cost doesn't hurt everyone's pocket book the same, so it could be a very sensible upgrade to some I guess. I just mentioned it originally because a lot of folks think a LSA is simply a LS3 with a blower on it, but there's a lot more to it than that.

I agree, but if he had a perfectly good LS3 and took it out and put an LSA in there then he just wasted a lot of money regardless of how wealthy he is. Plus, there are better built longblocks you can buy for the price of an LSA that will hold more power/boost. Just doesn't make sense to me I guess is all I'm saying.

Who knows man. Maybe he blew the LS3 and got a good deal on a LSA pullout to replace it. Maybe already had a LSA from a previous project. We don't know why he swapped it or under what circumstances, but there are plenty of plausible reasons why it would make financial sense for someone to do so. Or we could just assume he's an idiot I guess.

Based on the video and his claims, I'll assume he's an idiot lol

Some people say stuff like that to rile people up and gets races/bets. He definitely didn't live up to the Z06killer name, but that Z06 wasn't your typically fixed heads + mild cam kinda setup you run into most often either.

Maybe OP could elaborate on the situation.

That was patheric. Swapping the LSA for a LS3 isn't pointless but it's not needed. LS3's are stout. He could have just upgraded headunits, switched to e85, or something else. If I can beat a built Z06 on spray making over 900 then he should have done better.

It's possible the original LS3 was blown or something, and needed to be replaced/rebuilt. That would be a good assumption for swapping it out for a LSA. Or maybe the guy has future mods planned and likes the idea of having a stouter motor for more future horses. Maybe he got a smoking deal on the LSA and couldn't pass it up for whatever reason. Or maybe dude is simply an idiot and had no idea why he swapped it in. The assumption game is very popular on the internets. Lol

Agreed. The LSA heads do not flow better than LS3 heads. They can handle more abuse and are stronger but they DO NOT flow better. LS3 Heads flow the best...
Why would anyone put the Torque Monster LSA in a vette? A vette needs a centrifugal blower not whipple or eaton. A vette is too light and doesn't need the low end grunt that a V or a cobra needs. He probably spun his ass off.

In case you missed it, the vette in this thread with the LSA has a centrifugal blower, it says a vortech V3.
