vlt-025 - yep your about right there mate and then on top of that what ever i make from the engine, from all the research ive done thowe it pays to go something a little bit bigger, as soon as the engine pops anyway its going to be bigger cubes either 383 or 427 so that gonna a help a bit with bring lag down shaun

400 CID has proven to be the most reliable combo so far utilizing the standard block... I guess you can always build up a 500+ CID motor with a new GM LSX Block Just imagine that 1000+ HP with everday driveability... And the ability to wind it up Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I was going to say they look remarkably like 35/40's. Mayaswell have the extra oomph when you need it. Full boost (12psi) on a 5.7 with gt28/71's, well comes on preety hard from about 2300 and peaks at about 2800rpm. But of course thats all proportional to load at the time. I could see full boost loading it up in 6th gear from about 2300rpm onwards.. You do realise 1st 2nd 3rd and a fairwhack of 4th gear will be wheelspin city in the VL. I dont see those coming on hard till atleast 3500rpm. but from there to the 6250limiter its going to come real fast. The I want to have insane amounts of HP recipe.. 4in Bore LS6/LS1 Iron Block - $1250 - Suburban Imports Eagle Stroker Kit Forged crank, H beam rods, Forged pistons bearings blah blah - $3500 - Delivered to your door from the states. L98 Heads - the same ones of a current 6.0 VE SS - $ have not priced them yet Comp 918 springs/comp pushrods/promagnum roller lifters - $400each to your door L98 Inlet manifold $500 smackers from holden 90mm T/B to suit $600 80lb Injectors $800 to your door. Fuel rail and fittings $250-300 3 x 044 ($240) fuel pumps and probably 2 x holley blue(from memory $300) feeding a 10L surge tank + a rising rate reg Two garret 35/40's I think 6boost has them for $2200 Tial 60mm Gates $650 a piece His manifolds $1500 Voodoo series turbo cam 236/230 580/580 @117LSA anything else im forgetting?

Should be good for a lazy 800hp at the wheels... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Nice work BLU747 Just a few q's, did you have to relocate the starter motor? And what did you do with the sump? Cheers. Brad. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Brad. hey Brad Yes you need to relocate the starter to the left as it wont go on the right.. it fouls on the steering... the commodore LS1 sump you keep and it drop straight in.. we only had to radius one of the gussets on the subframe for clearance...... BLU says he's going to move his motor back some so??? not sure what he's done? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Shaun is moving the motor back so he has more room to play with. when we mocked it all up there was room, but not enough for his liking.

thanks stair, yep his right im just moving mine back so i have more room to play with, i mean it sits fine u wish to keep it na, there no dramas there at all, its just for my setup it not the best, very tight shaun

Any Updates???
