Not w/o upgrading the fuel. Alot of people are going to 8 or so, but I would at least do injectors before going up to be safe. Also, with my system I would need to do meth injection to cool the charge temps.

Took him for a ride in it an he almost crapped his pants lol. went from a 2mph roll and stomped it in 1st and by the time it hit about 3200 the tires broke loose and it peeled out down the street lol. I love this kit

What color is your car? I'd hate to try to take you in my Firehawk and get embarrassed.
I'm in Dallas and occasionally go to Arlington for one reason or another.

I hear his rpms change and I drop to 3rd and we go. Its over almost right away. By 90 I put about 4 - 5 cars on him. He pulls up next to me and yells "does that have a turbo"? I'm thinking dude, you can see the turbo hanging down in the back. ( I have the STS) He wants to see it, so we pull over and he is really cool about loosing. He was telling me he can pull on a new Cobra and plays with LS1's. He has $6000 in mods and is running 21psi. His car was nice, but I will stick with my LS1 Formula.

I've got a G5X-3 also, and have been contemplating getting this kit. I know I will have to send my heads back to get re-worked for lower compression but I would really want to keep the cam. That would be so bad *** if it would work. I know that the cam loves N2o but I'm not sure how it would act with a turbo/blower. I would think that it would bleed off too much exhaust do to the high overlap, but I could be wrong. Anyone have some insite on this?

Maybe, they will let you on with a short leash.
Anyhow, good kill to the original post

I do have one question for you though.....why did I get booted from your forums? I thought I read that booting people was and you guys were proud of not doing it? Only thing I can imagine is that it was because of all he bad blood between us and you guys at the time so removal of LS1 members privelages was considered necessary That or it was b/c a bunch of you guys got banned here, one or the other I figure

EDIT: I posted info regarding a cam match for the STS that is incorrect. My bad.
Anyhow, congrats on the kill.

you guys running a 112 lsa wont work well with the FI. The designer suggests a reverse split, like along the lines of a 226/220 on a 114. If you go into the 230 range, then go up on the lsa. Just for an example, a LS1 with forged rods and pistons (9.2), a small LS6 cam, stock heads, good fuel system;using the t-67 he is making 570/602 @ 10psi. That is a pretty mild motor making great numbers.
