Just keep putting money away. Racing is not going anywhere. The way technology is going. If you wait you will have a crazy setup...

Marty was putting down 320 hp on his LT1 97 TA. But he had an impressive crate 383 short block and some AFR heads that were worked over pretty hardcore. He was going to put all that in and put a power adder to be named later once he got all the stuff together.

Understood, and admirable that you waited so long...

Leon--if you have a good flowing exhaust, then spray it with safety first and start to build a stronger block WHILE you are having fun with 100 economical ponies.

Here is a stock bottom end dyno :




Cool huh Scott???
Yes, this is with TEA (stage 1) heads and a TR cam, but I sprayed a 150 shot to 468 rwhp on the stock heads/cam with just headers and lid. Granted we are talking ls1 and lt1, but my point is, n20 will give you a very economical hp increase, and if done right (I have only been spraying this car for 3 years ) will last a very long time.

Scott Ive seen a killer turbo 302, 1500hp, ran 8's. Bad ass hell but thats just a tad out of the budget for a college student dont you think?

Dan Ive been asking doing some more research and there are a few LT1 guys who are running 480-550wrhp with heads/cam with either 100 or 150 shot.
Check out these LT1's putting down 390-420wrhp with moderate hydraulic cams and heads. http://www.advancedinduction.com

With my current set up a 100 shot should get approximently 430wrhp and torque im not sure of... probably 30-60 more ft lbs than the hp.... But of course i want to do heads too.....
One step at a time.. Im going to do some touch up work and tranny mods on the car first. I really dont want to blow the shit up though.
