maybe because 2.5% apr with no down payment for a car loan is a great way to improve someone’s credit. and yup! just picked up the title from the bank right now… the gates will be open in 2 hours. meet me there!
post up picture of the title bitch.
thats fine. I like competition.
parts that will be here by may 1
-85# injectors
- either a dual oem pump setup from fastlane or surge tank system by vengeance racing (any opinions) dual oem is good for 800hp while the surge is 1000+ but has more work and more expense.
-some new heads from TSP with Ti valves and .675 lift springs - sfi 10% overdrive crank pulley 8 rid system and possibly a cog system for the rear drive.
-lots of drivetrain parts along with my two weeks transmission… shooting for about 700whp. Prob wont see that much but such is life.
Sounds like it’s going to be sick!
you wanted an opinion about fuel setup…
try giving lonnie at lonniesperformance a call.

He is kind of a big thing on ls1tech and a few other mainstream lsx forums. I talked to him on the phone a few times. He should set you up right. I know when I was planning my 418 build, I called him with what I thought I needed for a fuel setup. He steered me in a different direction and actually saved me a lot of money. I liked how he was more concerned about me getting what suits my needs the most, even if it means me spending less money at his store
and the best part… he is in pittsburgh.
P.S. he also does dual pump setups and sumps stock fuel tanks.
excellent thanks dan
You could really say thanks by letting me borrow those sweet wheels for a day at the track, while I’m waiting for mine. lol :hitit:
hell no…
ok well i ordered the cnc ported heads today from tsp with hollow stem valves, ti retainers, .675 valvesprings, oem head gaskets and arp head studs. Also ordered arp rod bolts, and a surge tank fuel system from vengeance racing and some 85# injectors from injection connection.
Any idea on projected hp with new stuff?
meh not really. i was 580whp on the mustang dyno prior…i’m gonna hit up the dynojet i always use to show actual hp gain from last time once the trans comes in. I have a two week wait for heads…i’m starting to hate companies saying two weeks… But I would say 700whp will prob happen or close to it at least.
sigh… I’m gonna need my 200 jets…
what was your initial idea for jets? 150? either way we should be close on the strip for sure.
150… 200 shot every now and then, if the person I’m racing is one of them big hitters… provided i get myself a backup car. lol. This weekend it’s getting tuned for a 150 though.
for those that wanted to see what exactly broke and why i dont have the maro on the streets well here is to answer your questions.
Hey look a TR6060 from a camaro…
Seems to look ok…
Hmm seems like I broke something.
yup definately broken.
Maybe I can fix it?
wow that sucks. did this happen on a hard launch? is that the main shaft that is sheared off?
yes that is the main shaft or output shaft whatever you wanna call it sheared right off. This happened on launch at MIR back in November.
what dealer say? wonder if GM would possibly cover that since they do claim that is one of the strongest trannys made
just curious why you havent gone with the LS9 7 layer MLS gaskets instead of the stockers? the LS9 ones are thicker and are labeled as GM’s boosted head gasket. I plan to run these on my latest setup
summit even lists them as well, only downfall ive seen is not everyone can get ahold of them as they are limited to availability
the output shaft breaking is actually not too uncommon on these cars. John Fitzpatrick (GM) already put out a bulletin… you break the output shaft, they give you a new one for free.
Some people have broken the shaft on stock cars, just regularly driving it around.
Think of the output shaft of the tr6060 ass the new 10 bolt!
