Nice dude! Any pics of your set up? Put some ARP headstuds in there and turn that bitch up lol. I bet it feels good to have it tuned! I know I was super happy to finally get mine tuned.

Re: LST / LS-T Turbo B18A B18B setups
i'm sure he can push about 15-17psi without ARP headstuds. I've done that before back in '02, with another person's LS...
He finally sold it HERE, back in 2006, full engine intact. Made 256whp/222ft/lbs on a bone stock LS, at about the same boost pressure, so its at least consistent...That was a FUN car, despite the questionable aesthetics
Phaphon ..Nicely done, good powerband use. nice and linear.

Re: LST / LS-T Turbo B18A B18B setups
After 3 years I finally got it tuned.... I left the car with the tuner on Wednesday so he could finish up partial tuning. Gave me a call on Friday saying the tuning was done but started pushing a bit of coolant under boost. I trailered it home on Saturday and tore the head off to find one of the head studs pulled the threads out of the block. I work at a Chrysler dealership and gm is next door so this weekend I will be using there timesert kit and be back on the road.

Any of you LS-T peeps need a vented valve cover? It's a B18a1 cover that is spray-painted Sundance Gold Pearl and comes with 2 -10an bungs welded in. Cam cover is also cut. Price is $100 shipped obo.

Re: LST / LS-T Turbo B18A B18B setups
i saw one of my old friends cars at the track a few weekends ago. full weight teg, street tires and 12 psi ebay 50 trim went 13.4 @ 105. i think it could have gone 12s on slicks. its running my old head with bc stage 2 cams and blox im. im really believing some decent all motor cams is definitely the way to go with nonvtec. bc st2, crower 403, what were the crane st 2? 0018?
All motor cams seem to make rediculous power on nonvtec engines with some boost.
The ported head I have has jge303 cams and made somewhere around 457hp with a garret t3/t4 .57 trim with 24lbs of boost, or somewhere around there. Afaik the turbo was maxed out and more boost wasnt netting much more power.
Stock intake and tb too.
Holy **** my cams are even bigger than his. Mine are .417 lift, 274 duration in/ex
Yeah after seeing that, combined with my 10.7:1 compression, im gonna hit 400hp@8500rpm like its a walk in the park
Also, those cams should breath to a higher rev limit. Cam timing maybe?

Seriously? People have been doing this since these valve covers existed. here's a thread going all the way back to 2005, with shaved valve covers for every engine under a Honda emblem.
Interesting you should mention that. I just found some Crower stage 2 "all motor" cams locally for a steal. I've been told that I should get cams to reach my 400 WHP goal more easily, hopefully these are a good fit. LS, Wiseco 9.4:1, Eagle, 3071. I'm sure I'll need upgraded springs and retainers, but all in due time.
I never took the car out or to a track so that means I was the first to do it.

I feel you bro And I have looked threw this entire thread And not seen one fully shaved v/c. There's on one I see And It's still not fully shaved only the oil cap is gone but the pcv is still there .

id have already bought them lol
SI RICKO - its funny looking at that graph, its exactly the curve my b20 with bc stage 2 cams had. they came on like crazy a bit before 5000 (felt like vtec actually lol)
