nice gains and your setup makes very good power.

what cam gears are you using?

DragWerks

^^^ stock gears, adj cam gears definately would have helped-- There were no gains

Televator

Even if it is ever so slight, I never would have expected a torque drop. Good contribution.

MikeSarr_GSR

which v stack did you choose to go with?

DragWerks

IMO the slight tq/hp difference can be attributed to slightly different coolant temps, ambient temp, etc. There is no significant difference...

DragWerks

Velocity stack was a generic type with 3" inner diameter and maybe 5" outer. I'll try to get some camera phone pics up I took

MindLess311

wouldnt u need to be moving for a velocity stack to do ne good??

All velocity stacks are not created equal.

at 13.5/1 c.r or so (if using stock hg) it better make power. pct's are scary

Nor are filters. Who believes a real cotton gauze filter will perform equally or less than a cheap ebay filter?

I think the point is - if theres no diff between a velocity stack and a cheap filter, theres definately no diff between a v-stack and a quality filter. Unless you're trying forced induction of the particulate matter (dirt) kind.

I've always thought ls block + gsr head + pct pistons yield compression in the low 12s. I doubt it's in the mid 13's but I'm a turbo guy.

HHHmmmm not bad on the DYNO son, i was thinking that the motor would have put down less power than that determine that the air flow coming in the head and the flow being pushed out the head were way off LOL, but i guess its all about the tuning! GOOD JOB!! bring it by the shop sometime.

FWIW, I've seen bigger differences between two consecutive pulls.

PCT's/LS Block/GSR Head/OEM Gasket = over 14.3:1 I'm shocked it runs as well as it does.

...

C-Speed compression calculator is telling me that static compression is 12.27036242581659:1. The fact that this car and about 3 others I've tuned with this combination don't show any signs of pinging on 91 octane also leads me to believe c/r is no more than ~12.5:1 but if it is thats very interesting/gay (to only put out 186whp)

Natural Aspirations

c-speed does not take compression height or the LS's shorter deck height into factor. Try http://www.zealautowerks.com/

That is an impressive number with the parts you have, you used Type ARGH parts and got above Type ARGH output.

My cam combonation must really be bleeding a lot of that compression out then

LS and GSR/ITR have the same deck height.

But you are right with the cr numbers, with the LS crank/rod and CTR piston, the piston will sit out of the whole. It is definatley higher than 13:1, seeing as a 87.2mm GSR stroke will create an unhealthy 12.6:1.

We have built 13.6:1cr street motors that run on pump 92. With the right cam combination, you can get away with a lot of static cr.

What I am surprised at, is how the hell aren't you getting piston-to-valve contact? You sure you don't have a gsr/itr crank running things down below?

Nope

LS is 211.84mm
GSR is 212.39mm

GSRCRXsi

im fairly confident that they are the same. i know zeal lists them differently, but i suspact they either measured incorrectly or got a block that had been decked.

nah im pretty sure its correct
the b20 is also 211.84 mm
