Rob there is nothing wrong with the one in the car now, Im just builing a new shortblock for the "new" setup. Slowhawk I dont think i should even dignify that response 
Give it time my friend give it time. Theres some serious heat in this group. Just look around 1st and Goal, 9secondlx, Vortech396, just to name a few. Just right there I dont see any LS1s running in that league(in this area) Next summer it will be LS1 =

If all we wanted was 12 second "cookie cutter" run of the mill cars then yes we too would have an LS-1

Geez Marco !
What's all the noise over here about U just now getting to the dyno ?
I remember U and a few of your cronies blowing a lot of hot air back in June !
http://www.ls1tech.com/ubb/cgi-bin/u...;f=12;t=000330
What happened I was hoping to see some 1320 times by now !
As far as firing warning shots go !
What are U firing them from ?
The Tidy Bowl mans rowboat !
It sure as hell ain't from your Z !

Nothing like the power of the keyboard eh
**** happens and it seems like my Z has some seriously bad fung schway (karma for those who've never been to China) as it's been one nightmare after another
Did you put a new converter into your Z ?
Did you go to LVD ?
I tried to make it but was unable.

P.S. If anyone is interested in watching the Quest racing car (blue and white 92 T/A) get blown out in the first round of the IHRA Nationals held at New England Dragway tune it to TNN at 3 PM

Thanx for the concern 96 !
F.R.E.D. and I are not scared of some little supercharged 383 LT4 !
What U guys do not know is that at the ripe old age of 34 I have had my share of drag cars !
I owned and built a 1963 Ford Falcon which had a 6-71 supercharged 521 fed by twin 990 Predator carbs !
As a matter of fact I still have the 6-71 and the Predators and also some parts and pieces to build another 521 !
But I digress,I am not fearing high horsepower cars since I had one and I know what fun it is to make them hook up !
Marc has to 1) sort out and tune his combo, and 2) actually make it go down the track, and 3)the most important of all he has to hook it up !
So as far as Marc's dyno numbers go they mean nothing unless he finds the land of hookedness !
As U can see from that post I knew U had quite a project ahead of U !
As far as my car goes, a few weeks ago (Sept 13th) in preperation for LVD I was out ATAPing my car, and I was doing some WOT pulls (145 mph) when I lost the 3rd and 4th gear clutch packs !
So right now the Krush mobile is out of commission till further notice !
So no smack talk from here till I get my new tranny !
I am still however interested in hearing your numbers, so when U have them post them loud and proud and maybe next year U and I can do battle !
Good luck and I will type at U later !
