Regardless, we are trying to make it with the Turbo Mustang. Just picked up the Turbo yesterday. I know he still needs to make a new outlet tube to the intercooler since he dented it, split it when it blew off the intercooler. If that gets done, I will be out with him on Friday night making some suspension adjustments to go down there. Notice the I.

I don't see the real gain here. Now if it made 750 or something then that might be something but less then 650 is not enough IMO........... Not to say it is to low but definitely not outstanding by any means. My motor has more CI so I can understand I guess, but you were the one tooting you own horn.
O ya.....I bet it does sound good cause mine sounds bad *** and doesn't sound like an LS1 at all.

Every one claims they make this and that for power but their track numbers dont speak for it. Im not a believer until i see **** with my own eyes. i see alot of blown up parts! I saw this motor make this power and watched the man change jets on the carb to gain an additional 60+ freaking hp.
This isnt the baddest motor to date, but this mother makes mean power FOR A NITROUS Motor N/A. Ignition updates have been posted. MSD is issueing a refund back to Ray. They will have a front mount distributor on it soon. I was skeptical the day when i had met Chris about his work and was the same about Ray. Id heard about Ray when I worked at Kennedale and watched from the starting line all his powered cars go down the track. I have no reason to lie about anything ive posted. These two do some of the best work in the industry. Ray's the baddest carb tuner ive witnessed in quite some time. He says he's the best in the country. I wont disagree with him as Im not much of a carb dude. But his motors sure do sing. Chris works magic with anything he touches and this motor is here to prove it. Making as good as power as some hardcore, big bore N/A ls1's claim to be making. For a small bore motor, its mean. Im excited to say that I was there to witness and help when needed.
For those that are hating, the motor will be in the car in 2 weeks. If you want to run the car its going in to claim the baddest Ls1 in DFW, put your money where your mouth is. Its 3G's a race. These arent my terms, just passing it along. KECHME, GUESS WHO, anyone else with a fast LS1, he said BRING IT! See ya'll at the Gut.

I would agree.
I will race for 500 bucks but I just don't have all that much money to throw at a race. I will be racing at the Dale anyway. I went to the belly with the black car and didn't like it. I am not to much of a street racer either so I guess if he wants to race this LS1 he is going to have to come out and race at the dale. That will decide who has the faster car. I know his is a street car and everything but whatever. I don't care if I ever race him. I have been taking my time on this project and I am in no hurry to race anyone at this time.

Hey chumps.... just agree to have both cars N/T it and tell the box to not print slips....... sounds fare to me...... hopefully no one is good with a stop watch. CJ, smart of you to want to keep it off the street. If these cars where in the 5.8-6.2 zone...... I might of been able to play along..... sounds like yall are going for low fives!!! I will stay on the porch for awhile
Seriously Mike.... tell him to build mountains out of hills.... 3 g's is alot.... 500 or 750 is more what fellas around here can afford........ heck I want to setup a 5 bill race when my car hits the street with a certain RPM customer car (doubt it will happen though)..... I wanna see this **** happen this year..... come off the figure.

you've gone from just wanting to run a 6.4 to a 5.8!
better invest the money into a converter if you're going that route.
