This car was the featured POTM for March on LS1Tech with a run away win on the voting:
https://ls1tech.com/forums/multimedi...ch-2012-a.html
I have taken the extra time to ensure everything was done properly and documented the engine build, the wheel restoration, even the nitrous and purge installation! I used the technical experts such as Brian Tooley, SpinMonster, and Tracy Scott to help guide each engine build decision that was made.

Thanks guys, it was tough even to make the for sale ad, that is for sure!
Antwon, I have to do something to keep up with that turbo is!
ls2foryou, I bet you are the guy that my friends keep 'spotting' and thinking it's me! At least once a week a friend asks/texts and asks if I am out in the car, haha. I didnt know Bridgewater Falls had a cruise either, that is only 10 minutes from my house (I live in Liberty Township).

The car is by no means a "nitrous car". It was built for primary n/a use, with a well designed dry shot for the random occasion I go to the drag strip... Car was built in march and has seen 1 bottle...

Thanks guys!
And yes, that was after about 6-7 pulls, and I cant stress enough it is a conservative dyno... Most G6x3 intake/exhaust LS3 cars make 460-470.... suggesting the heads gave me 30-40 more HP... and there is still room for improvement with some 1 7/8 headers (or 2" if you want to get the most out of n2o)

Only modifications to transmission or rear end was a fluid flush and change this summer. Shifts great/smooth, and no clunking/clanging or anything in the rear end. It is solid. i have babied it the few times I have been to the drag strip (which you can see with my bad times, haha) including locking the nitrous out of 1st gear.
