Since everyone else is doing it...


V8 Beast

Recommended Posts

Since everyone else is letting the cat out of the bag, this is what I'm working on currently.

 

Rossler built transmission with trans brake

Yank 3600 stall

6.0L 408cid iron stroker

AFR 225's

Direct port nitrous- 2 stages 250 total

original cam wanted - 244/250 112...

I saw a vette with this cam and loved it - 251/262 .651/.654 112 :D

3.5" flat exhaust pipes

 

Its probably going to be late summer before I get everything together and in. I'm just hoping to get one pass on it in '07

Oh yeah, you know we are going to race!! I'll be at the track as much as I can too. Should be interesting.

 

John It should be around February before I'll have the money for the block, so I still have an open mind. If I can find reliability for what I want in a block that weighs 100lbs less then I'm all for it!!!I went Iron because I'm still planning on running twin Garrett turbos in 2008 at a rediculous psi(900+rwhp). The displacement with the turbos I want makes for a nice setup. But you know me reliability>speed. We will definitely talk before I buy the block.

^Damn, you beat me too it LOL!!. The LS1 will be for sale. It'll come with AFR 205's and a 228/232 .588/.595 110+1LSA custom nitrous cam. I dont have a price in mind yet.

 

John called me and told me about the l92's. If I port them I can save a bunch of money (without switching to geico :D) As far as blocks I want to see what the new lsx block is all about. Its a good thing I have 2 months of prep to get everything together.... 800rwhp FTMFW!!!!

 

If we do pinks I'm not driving. I would rather put on a tight t-shirt and waive my arms around.....

New slogan - loose the race.... loose your ride... I already lost my dignity by wearing this tight ass shirt

Yeah the camaro, we'll have to get a run in at the track. I'll let you know if I start parting it out. I have a few people that are asking for parts as well, so I may get more out of parting it rather then selling it as a complete motor.

your building a big bore LS and you didnt know about the LSX block? Why would you put AFR 225 or L-92's on an engine like that. I think you need to go back to researching. I would look into the NEW heads that are being designed by GM around this block. (read 6 head bolts per cylinder). Good luck having these parts by summer your right about being lucky to make one pass in 07. The L-92 heads are a truck head that are very inexpensive and have a huge intake valve. but without a good exhaust valve your going nowhere. The only thing that makes them nice is the price. Do you really want to build a max effort machine and skimp on the head castings? If you actually do build something let me know so we can get together. I'm always looking for someone to check my tail lights.

The AFR's and L92's were before I found out about the LSX block. I never said I was putting L92's on an lsx block, that wouldnt make any sense. I said ported l92's would work good on a 6.0L iron stroker. I would have to match the block to the heads when they are both released.
