I HAD to do some digging on the LS motors. Found a good read on them to know what's what.

with regards to earlier if I was going full whack all ahead max big cube BBC on alcohol with huge twins, glide, full floater and whatever pro mod chassis I could find best lowest priced and that would be that.
for street boost is tough because of heat and fuel limitations. E85 only builds if available in your area are the exception. Keep your timing down and your boost low and it’ll live a while and still roll out well.
Yeah, those guys go through some parts. Must have a money tree somewhere.Quote:

I enjoy building engines, transmission, not so much diff.'s, but once I have them installed I want to drive, not work on it.
Chaz, hope ya know my post about you and the Stang crowd was just me joking around.
Nothing turns 10k for very long...and its hard to run your car wide open and pull up to a sand bar for a beer. :)
It was funny .. and the truth …. :DQuote:

Fugimoto .. don't look now brother .. but you just posted some U-tube vids .. :eek: ;) :D
For as slow as it is, That first kid has blown up more $2 dollar motors than anyone other than that other nerd .. Jon Doc .. :smiletest:
There are some "full LS fest" vids .. where you don't have to look at old Chevys or Fords … Only, soon to return , 240 thousand mile junkyard refugees .. Like I said , to each their own .. :smiletest:
Twin 88's .. yea that's a good match .. wet noodle pedal , until 5000+ RPM . You should drive one like that .. then get back to me .. :cheers:
...video's posted simply for entertainment purposes, and for gary's LS education,:smiletest: as examples of three different "fun" levels($)... just wish gary had fun level number one. (don't we all)...but I see gary enjoying himself at fun level two, like the guy with the Chevelle.
Twins 88's too small LOL
This guy built a mean LS C6 street car with twin 88's. He used to drive it around LOL

Kinda reminds me of 30 yrs ago, after 9 yrs I quit kneel down racing and decided to build a go fast OB ski boat and everyone told me I’d need to run a Merc.
Didnt listen then either and have no regrets.
Or, one time, stopped at a light in my very nice, very fast, ‘68 440/6 Super Bee, a red neck in a truck, beside me at the light, hangs out his passenger side window and screams “Mopars suck!”
The light turned green and I watched them drive off in their clapped/rusted out, mid ‘70’s Chevy truck.
I was dumb founded.
I can tell you, I did not go home and list my Mopar to buy a Chevy.
