Kooks FTW - perfect fitment front to back with their LTs and TDs.

weird....mine hit nothing and fit great. There's like a 50pg thread on here of 99% praise to that system.

And i ran it off kooks headers not even SE headers which should improve fitment.

I’ve used kooks, TSP and speed engineering with no issues

Because you as you can tell from some of your own and others comments that is a big no no.

But then on the other hand a completely sleeved and reinforced block is still a stock block......weird eehh
Not a big no no to me. Run what you brung. If the stock block/internals can't handle power then do what it takes to reinforce it or replace it with parts that will. Don't downplay a built motor just because you go through the trouble of building it in the car rather than unbolting the trans and motor mounts to pull it just so you can use the term "drop in" on Facebook.

I got out of it. Plenty of fast cars but even more fast mouths. The group I hang around anymore doesn't have anything crazy. Big block G-body's, V8 S10's, but a lot of older cars being built up by a lot of younger guys I know. Getting into long range shooting kind of put a dent in my budget.

Well to be fair Pray didn't make that term. There are a few vendors such as GPI racing that offer a piston/rod combo doesn't require balancing and why it's classified as "drop-in".

A drop in piston is a thing. Different material pistons often require honing for different clearances. A drop in piston wouldn’t and it’s something most people could do in their garage

I've seen people drop rods and pistons into their LS in the pits at the strip.

Ive heard the term drop in pistons before, just always assumed they meant no machine work was needed for fitment.

“Drop In” meaning you don’t have to pull the motor and rebalance the rotating assembly. Newbs.

Not pull them out of the package and they crawl inside the engine themselves.

I honestly don't care either way. I think its a nice build, I like that its a relatively small blower and makes solid power. I don't consider it the "simplest build ever" by any means.

don't know what to tell you, the true duals hit everything, and had to dent header for steering shaft.

Brett said "simplest build ever" because many think you need some exotic high dollar fuel system to make that kind of power with Direct Injection.

its got lt4 stuff that isn't cheap. Even the factory crap. Plus dumb a bunch of meth in it.

I know few that have maxed stock lt4 fuel syfuels out with 2650 blowers around 850whp with 2650's.

Fic 30% more injectors is almost 3k with that said.

That's why one should do aux injectors with tt or centri.

Why aux injectors over just going to larger ones? I had two cars with aux injector setups and they were a pita to tune. Ended up selling one car and swapping larger injectors into the second one.

The LT4 fuel system with pro meth system used on that car cost quite a bit less then a Port Injection setup or XDI system with larger injectors.
