Finally got a pic of the motor! She's ready to be tuned and put on the Dyno here in Michigan, that is if any place can stay in business!

 

What's your setup?

 

N/A Stroked 383, all forged internals. FAST LSxintake and FAST 90mm Throttle Body. Start up tune was done by Wheel 2 Wheel in Detroit, Tubular K member & Torque Arm & Suspension Components, Mezeire Electric Water Pump, Be Cool Aluminum Radiator, Dana 60 9 Bolt, Custom Alumunium Drive Shaft. I'm finishing up the web site with all of the motor components... Will be up soon! Motor was built by Hardcore Racing in Michigan 2 1/2 years ago, bought it off my buddy, he put less than 100 miles on it and went to a blown 6.0 liter for land/speed racing.

 

I've heard nothing but good about W2W..Good deal!

I've never seen a 383 LS1 make good power, due to the fact that it's undersquared (3.905 x 4.00 stroke)

Prove the bad stigma wrong!

 

Wheel 2 Wheel is no longer!! They were awesome! Lack of funds and they are done! Their tuner and head engine builder are now opening their own shop around the same area though, so that's good!

 

Details? They had an awesome engine builder, that is for sure - their stuff was in some of the fastest boosted ls1's out there. Shoot me a PM so you don't violate the sponsor rules.

Alright!

 

what cam is in the car?
and what heads??

 

Did you ever put it on a dyno? Where at? What kind of dyno?

 

It is going back on the dyno this Tuesday. Taking it to Livernois in Detroit, I'll let ya know how it goes!

 

Well.... Took the car to get dynoed... $12,000 and 1 week from now we should have it back! We orginally bought the motor off a guy we knew who had it built at Hardcore Racing here in Michigan, towards Flint. They F#$%ed everything up! The bore is junk, skirts are dinged up on the piston's, not the cam it was supposed to be, the head's are junk too! This all from dyno time! The owner of the shop where it was built is now in Prison and I can UNDERSTAND why. The heads were diamond head's and I have heard the guy that was building those is in prison too! So Livernois is building us a new 404 Iron block. Supposed to be some great HP, Over 500 RWHP, I will let you guy's know as soon as I figure out how much.

 

Wow man that's horrible, but atleast now you're on the right track with a reputable building company. Hope everything works out, keep us updated!

 

Goddamn. That's miserable.

Good luck in your new setup!

 

Don't have the car back yet but I will post new pics and the dyno numbers as soon as i get them~

 

FINALLY!!!! Got the car back from Livernois yesterday!! Will post the dyno sheet in the next couple of days! It now has a 404! Took it for a ride... WOW, SICK! Will post videos coming up too!
