Word.

Hello all LSx owners.

This is the owner. Glad you guys all liked the video. It is pretty "wicked nasty" as some like to say. Right now, I am building the IRS. Should be hooking and getting 1.5 or less 60fts. It is also getting a built Auto swap, and should be good for mid to low 6s in the 1/8th. It ran a horrible time last time at the track. Axle hopping bad in 1st and 2nd, I couldn't even do anything, I was able to mat it in third and hit forth easy (still on the stock T-45 tranny) and still pulled 99+mph.

Anyway, I will keep pics coming if you all care.

Oh and I was talking a little ****...but it was all in good fun. I have TONs of respect for the LS motors. I know they make good power...and some day I will own one. If anyone knows of a good deal on a 02 Sunset SS...PM me. lol.

P.S. SlwBirdy was correct. The guy before on the same engine combo (actually less in the heads) made 687rwhp on 15psi on pump gas...then threw in some C16 and made 847rwhp on 21 or 22psi. Turbos were almost maxed. So some day. I will turn the boost up...and make some better numbers, but that is all it is...is a dyno number...its all about how you run on the street or track.

Thanks guys! Good to see some nice comments instead of all the BS I hear about this site...

Matt

I guess that procharger just wasn't enough eh Matt? I gotta say the video was pretty cool. Your nuts man, you change engine setups more than most people change underwear. Good luck with the new setup, I am nowhere in your league, but I will give you a run in the old nova if you want...

I have no crazy expectations of my setup, it was built as a cruiser. She is pretty quick considering its a tired 5.3 backed by worn out 3.08 open rear.

You better take it easy off the line, I dont spin!
