was that s10 the primer one with big slicks in the back? If so, I saw the owner working on it today and he wasn’t looking too happy. He slammed the hood pretty hard when I was driving by.

Tough to say swift, the truck hasnt seen the track on this setup, and jays car will be down for a little bit. Should go good though.

I would say more near the 140+mph mark.
tonys Z06 went 10.8 @ 135, yes it had traction issues but that gives you the general idea of where these cars should be trapping.

A lot of variables. My buddy went 11.002 @ 122 in a 3/S and I ran against a big block that went 10.9 @ 121. Insane powerband.

its not a LS1…he said he has a Iron block…that defeats the whole LSx motor.

Doubt it, it was hard enough keepin that thing straight on the current setup lol. More boost wouldnt be soo good untill the chassis gets setup right. But yea it would be sick nasty.

Its an easy build… the complication is time and a 2 post lift for a few days…and your dads swamped at the moment…but I will keep it in mind! I’ll get u access.

Okay… lots of good guessing going on.
#1, it is NOT a 9 second car… watch the video…took over 11 seconds to run the truck.
#2, Its a LQ9 6.0 iron block, bored .035 over with a 4" stroke, making it a 409ci. Same as LSX series motor, just diff accessories as a stocker, and, um…iron.
#3, I do not plan to put the same shortblock in the car for one reason…if I just build another, i can do the swap in one or two days, then spend a few night re-installing exhaust, turbo kit, fuel atc… and rebuild the iron block to sell or have in stock. I’m pretty sure it was cam bearings that went… so the fix should be easy. It’s all forged and solid…but oil pressure was never great from initial build…I believe the cam bearings were bad from start. The company that built the lower end built 11 6.0’s in a period of a few months, all are dead, all due to cam bearings, I knew or suspected I was on bought time for a while now.
#4 I will likely go with another iron block or an aluminum ls2 6.0… just not sure I will stroke it…turbo motors dont need it.
Lastly, I was running 11lbs of boost, that motor has seen 22 lbs with the old kit / I’m just happy with 11 with this kit.
theres the facts! just need a month or so to get time to do it.
