I'm gonna try like hell to be in that grouping. I've got full exhaust, etc... a/c coming soon as well (just needs to be recharged, it's all in there)! I'm pretty damn close.

I may join that 10 second N/A, LT1 streetcar this Friday if all goes well. I am headed to the dyno tommorow and I promise you it won't put close to 500rwhp but it should do OK. Later

Off topic again (ahem), but Denny McLain, do you have any pictures of your ride? Sounds neat.

If I had a six speed and a 10 bolt, mine would make 500 rwhp all motor on pumpgas.

David I agree and my LT1 wouldn't be too far off with a 6spd and 10 bolt but I am not into dyno numbers and like being able to walk over those big HP LS1's with my old tech LT1.

They've been making big power w/ sbc's way before my time... So what's changed w/ the birth of the lsx? other than a **** load of 10 sec. fbodies? our limiting factor? is our wallet's..

Dont forget they're lighter.. i know what the difference is.. but we as old buck technology "LT1" aren''t left behind so to speak.. we just have to go outside our lil ltx box to get big power.. there are some making big power w/ heads specifically designed for ltx's.. but in general i'd like to see some more 18* headed monster's running around..
