and still working on the rest of the set-up</TD></TR></TABLE>

sounds good. good luck with it. I'm transfering my built gsr-t from my coupe over to my del sol. but I'm debating keeping it simple with a stock sleeve built ls-t with similar headwork and a 60-1. as i said before. sounds good and good luck with it all. keep us updated with pics and such.

just a small preview of what will be coming soon, not using that manifold though but hopefully something similar but better quality

from my personal experience and researching the 402t's i wouldnt even worry about getting cam gears as their isnt much if any to be gained with these cams

are you buildin that in your dorm?

tannerLSt

nah not building it in a dorm, just sitting in the house for now, don't feel safe with in the the garage

Looks like a really good setup... I think it will work very good... How much power are you looking to make?

thats a good question, guess it depends on how far we wanna push it on the dyno when tuning it i guess, i'd like to at least get 500whp , probably tune it to the max and then turn boost down, this is going to be a street driven car so won't need much more than 400whp for the street, will see the track plenty of times i'm sure

you're really making me wanna go LS again. good luck once again

tannerLSt

ordered a Spoolin Performance Manifold today and got a Tial 38mm Wastegate and Fluidyne 1/2 Size Radiator with Maradyne 12" slimfan, hopefully will be ordering crower valvetrain and cams very soon

tannerLSt

tannerLSt

On a side note, for the power level you are wanting to make, may I suggest to look into a little better bearing... IMO, I used the acl's in a street car w/ 420 whp... and they took a beating... (they are a softer compound)... This was the only set of set of bearing's that I had used from them, so maybe there was a defect... I use the clevitte bearing... The disadvantages on using them, are they are made of a harder compound, so if you have any debree that ges into the oil galley and then into the bearing surface, it will grove your crankshaft a little... I have put a lot of power down with the clevitte bearings, and they have handled it with no problems... They always look good when I remove them.. (with wear)... Just a little info.... JAsen

yeah i heard the acl bearing are good for drag cars that your gonna rebuild soon, i've been told by many many people that honda bearings are better, so i'm going with oem honda bearings....not using the acl's!!!!!!!

tannerLSt
