Run low numbers for now, just get the kit on.

Purchase spare block to build on the side for dirt cheap.

Drop in built block a few months down the line, tune, 300whp

 

what he said, i dont see it doing 300whp on factory internals and lasting for more than a month

 

there is a guy on here pushing 393whp on a stock block ls. its all in the tune. it doesnt mean everybody and there brother can do it, but its possilble. i believe he had cams and a ported head. forcefedmotorsports is his SN i think. look on the boosted ls thread

 

Yea the ls can take alot of boost. The guy used to own the car and he said he was pushing those numbers before on the same block.
I was thinking about getting a block and building it just like you said. Bust basically all those prices look good to you guys? If so I may go with it and just have him tune it to do lower numbers for now.

 

they dont seem to bad to me

 

I have enough projects on my hands. I would rather put the money towards seats and a cage. after buying lines, fittings, tools.. about how much does tucking the brake lines cost? roughly..
I already have a new master/booster and prop.car is mostly gutted.. so now would idealy be the time to do it.

 

That guy quoted me 200 to install it.

 

thats not bad, is that tuned and all?

 

Super Bowl!!!!!!

 

new seats and floor mats

 

so 350 for install and tune. Thinking about letting him do it. I would hate to run across problems and the thing sit in my garage for another year without moving.

 

turboing a car is not that difficult, if you can do a swap, u can install a turbo, the most difficult and pita job is removing the oil pan to tab it for the oil return line

 

God this game is intense!!!!

 

hell yea it is go cardinals

 

whos winning? how many goals have they scored?

 

Steelers won. Final score 27 23

 

Man I cannot believe that. I really thought cards were going to win. That was prob the most exciting game I have seen all year. Never knew who was going to win!

 

lol at goals... I know im un american but I hate football.

 

i really wanted the cards to win, but oh well, i won 100 dollars

 

It's alright, I'm not a very big fan myself. I was at one point in time, but lost all hope when the 49ers kept screwing up.

 

I hate the steelers...but i still cannot belive you found someone to bet againts them!


Yea my team (bengals) have no hope..i just dont watch much football anymore.

 

People don't understand... An ls can hit 800 HP on stock internals... Its all in the tune... But it won't last! Stick with low numbers and it will be "reliable" for a turbo car..

 

Yeah I didnt really care about the teams that were in it this year but, I wanted the cards just cause they have never won.

 

Yea, shew the more I think about it the more I dont think I going to go through with it. I mean thats 2000 dollars. Alot of money with the economy the way it is...
Plus I think to much about selling the car all together. Do you guys do that...1 min you want to put a butt load of money into and the next you want to sell everything you got?

 

How many boosted cars have you built and owned?

300whp ls is totally reliable and almost impossible to kill with a decent tune. I have made a 50 dollar ls make 300whp on a mildly tuned base map and for 2 years plus this car was dd and beat to hell by numerous owners.
