hes at 14 psi

New Orleans and your negative trader rating rocckkkk. It's not worth the effort to correct you / attempt to educate you on anything that isn't about a silverado.

Some people are just so blind to the fact that if it aint got a V8 its a pile and slow wont last blah blah blah. These are the same people that ate corn bread all there life and probably think that marrying someone you are related to is an ok deal.

if you only have bolt ons; headers, exhaust, intake, tune. the rsx will pull you after 40. ive ran this rsx quite a few times and ive ran bolt on f bodys and a camaro with bolt ons and a large cam

Ask any racer, a real racer. It doesnt matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning is winning.

wow have any of these *** shats ever been on any other forum except a domestic forum... seems like a lot of uneducated statements going on here.

to make a k-series hit 500 hp aprox. it would take about 4k or so in turbo parts... can you make a ls1 hit that or above for 4k... and at that point can the camaro that the ls1 is in that is 1k lbs heavier run with the lighter cheaper car for the same amount of money???? and just look around on the internet if you think that that car would be unreliable... **** it would still get 30mpg probably... i love ls1s but common people be alittle more open minded about other vehicles

Head, cam, longtubes, and a tune will net you over 400whp on most LS1's. Throw a 100-shot on top, and you've got 500+whp for less than $4k.


Imports suck my exhaust fumes.
