POLL! So I had a thought.... What do you think.

[Northernregal]

So I was taking some pics of this sexy beast all mocked up to help a fellow G member when the sight of this awesome made me think..... What if you just ran that this summer and have some fun.....

Practically it makes sense. I might even have some body work done by April if I did..... I could do some tuning, hit the strip a couple times without being booted immediately and actually learn more about the setup and kick butt on a killer turbo install over the winter. Maybe twins, no one knows...

This is my first frame off. I'm sure I'm gonna hit a few more obstacles along the way. I need to be able to drive this summer.

So this poll will carry weight, I'll take your advice. Some of you all have been doing this way longer than me and I value your thoughts.

The pic that caused the problem...

What intake is that?

What intake is that?

Definitely looks like a truck intake.

 

[Gwarren79]

looks taller though.....

 

[Northernregal]

What intake is that?

Late model L76 I believe. The LS3 square port truck intake. Bought it used so I'm not 100% sure exactly what it came from.

Turbo, do it once, or dump that money in to the guts and heads and have a super nasty n/a engine

If you are running stock heads, Dont waste time in doing anything else to it.

Put it in and drive it.

Get a set of heads and port them. Get an intake and match it.

Then install them and a cam once finished

Installing a power adder and not freeing up the power thats already there is a waste.

Head work is more important on a nitrous motor than a boosted as far as I'm concerned. A turbo pushing through stock heads will work better than throwing a bunch of giggle gas at it.

3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 hundred horsepower sitting on the engine stand for years on end is pretty lame. Life is too short to be waiting around to achieve perfection. Plain and simple: you will have more fun driving it.
