My ultimate setup would be;
Longblock stock bore LS2 block, stock crank, Compstar rods, Wiseco pistons, LS9 or Katech oil squirters, DM Perf. block girdle, ECS blower cam, ARP studs/hardware, shoot for 9.5-10:1 CR Retained A&A T-Trim kit, Patriot LQ9 Heads, LS6 manifold and stock TB, Tex clutch Blower Mods Cartek Flip Drive, 8 rib Innovators West balancer + A&A 8 rib spacers, new style A&A IC and pax. side hose routing. Misc Short radiator for blower inlet clearance, RSI dual intank pump setup and cooresponding fuel system, 1-7/8" headers, Meziere pump I had always thought I'd deal with Champion Motors up in Canada or ECS for the bottom end. However the more I read and see of Va. Speed the more I like.

the ultimate FI setup has to account for the limitation of the drive train.
since 600 ft-lbs is enough to brake it, if you can get it to the ground, that's where I would stop. More power sooner is the goal, so that's what a supercharger (TVS) does. More power sooner is the goal, so that's what a bigger motor (LS7) does. More power sooner is the goal, so that's what Tires (Mickey T's) do. You have to remember, what goes fast needs to stop fast and as far as I'm concerned the C5 brakes are inadequate from the factory. |

Imagine the terrifying sound of that bad-boy approaching. Turbos whistling, waste-gates fluttering, engine loping, maggie whining, exhaust roaring. Dumb-as-hell setup for achieving any particular power goal or 1/4 mile ET goal, yeah, but unique, head-turning, and stupid fun. Stock hood with cut-out for maggie, black convertible, realistic flame paint job hood ---> sides, chrome wheels, lots of laughs. |
