HAHAHA yeah its in my Theatre room. PIMPIN!!! hahaha

UPDATE! Dropped the box and cam off to mild to wild today. motor , mounts , PCM and Turbo will be dropped off this weekend. The following weekend the car will be there to get started on dropping the Ls1 into the VL.

the proof is in the pudding (or however that saying goes lol) with the LS1s! TUFCAB runs a standard LS1 with valve springs and pumps our 400rwkw+ on low boost with a carb setup! and already have a built driveline and fuel system makes things much easier looking forward to the results [/quote] Just noticed this thread & was having a read......... Look i had both an rb turbo & ls1 turbo i would put the ls1 at the top for sure. i am also the new owner of tuf cab which is now ls1 pwr & is efi not carby tuf cab also had a camshaft & wasnt on low boost it was running 12-13psi just remember a ls1's compression ratio is 10.4 reguradless of engine it all comes down to the tuner they may well be the most important people in the build cos if they put to much timing in cos there chasing a dyno figue for you reguradless if its built or std any engine will go bang...... ls1 pwr is making 419rwkw on 12.5psi still with the cheapo ebay turbo+w/gate (specs are close to a gt42) with just valve springs & a safe tune f**k all tuning cos just remember 1 bad batch of fuel & its all over. also for the record lol it did make 384rwkw with the std valve springs & run 10.08@136mph on et streets,98 fuel & full exhaust, yet to run with the v/springs & retune but 9's here i come Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

TUFF!!! What are the cam specs your running? I'm running a 232/242 cam. what box??

mine is std the one in tuf cab with the carby set-up was 236/236 @ 112 which is really a n/a cam not boost friendly & im not sure about your beening boost friendly either ? mayb if the lobe sep is 114 if its 112 then u'll loose boost...... mines got a power glide in it with a 3000 stally...... also im in the process of doing my bros vs ute which we have just started but it will be running a gt42 with a gts spec cam which is 213/223 @ 116 it small but it was already in the engine & do work well with boost. His will be running a 4spd auto cos its his daily.

That'll sound f*cking tough as anything and is a good NA cam but I'm not sure how it'll go with a big turbo! Only one way to tell but. Jason. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Update Dropped the motor off to mild to wild last night. Its getting the Cam and Valve springs dropped in. Once this is done , the VL will be dropped to the work shop to drop the Ls1 into the bay!

Update , The motor is 99% done. Cam is in , Valve springs are in. Mounts are mounted to the motor. Still waiting on the starter motor relocator kit (Well over due.) The car should be dropped off at the work shop hopefully This weekend or early next week to get the big boy dropped in and manifold made. Photo's will be posted once the cars at the workshop.
