I wouldn't even consider a nitrous kit on a plastic intake car without a window switch either. I've seen what a nitrous backfire can do to an ls1 intake. It's not pretty
|
Nothing a new intake can't fix hahah

bottle heater. blow down tube. remote bottle opener. and depending on the kit? most kit solenoids suck.

Car looks and sounds mean. She rips, too ;) thanks for the ride Joey lol
|
The GTO air box/inlet sucks. We gain about 10/10 by just cracking it open 1".

One hell of a shockwave when you're standing next to it flagging the race. But, that's a story for another day lol. |
ya you so dont want to spray with out dropping timing ask any one about what I did to my 383 :(
|
Well you did use like a 450 shot or something :haha:
|
I never heard the story lol let me in on it
|
He ran 10's! ONCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
|
didnt lock the distributor down well and had the timing creep on me then hit it with a 300 shot and kapow bent two rods and smoked a few pistons
|
oh shit. haha that's a huge shot!
|
boomer doesnt mess around...go big or go home for him
|
had about 50 passes on the 200 shot and ran a 250 shot at it about 25 times it probably would have been ok if I didnt fuck up

Well before I do anything (besides CAI, PP the TB, possible bigger MAF) I wanna port and polish the 243 heads get better springs retainers rockers and pushrods, and a bigger cam with more lsa.. More streetable..
How good are slowhawks street tune ? That's all I need for now |
All his tunes are good he does most of the tuning on street anyways however figure out if u want fi in the future etc if not there are so many good 5.3 head choices for probably same price as getting your stock heqds to a good point.
|
He doesn't tune cars on the street just talked to him, Sooo gotta save up some $..
What are the prices on performance 5.3 heads ? |
same heads I'm looking at tsp 5.3 heads cheap! like 1200$
|
I'm not a big fan of 5.3 heads, ther is a reason they are cheap, especially if you plan more power in the future. 2/3 of the gain you get over LS1 heads is the combustion chamber reduction, and LS6 heads are right there already. If you had LS1 heads I'd say it may be worth it. Their casting isn't as good as the 243/317 style head either. You are better off investing in the LS6 heads you have or go aftemarket.
|
I don't see any big gains with the ls6 heads to the 5.3's when n/a if going forced then absolutely but a stock motor with n.a the compression gain and power is almost the same withint 10 hp. and usualy around 500-700 dollars cheaper.
