That's a substantial amount of material you are removing, should make a BIG difference in airflow.

Surprised more people haven't done this.

In my opinion this should allow the same volume of air to pass through to the valves with less boost.

I guess what I'm trying to say, is that a non ported system running 8 lbs. of boost will produces less air out the back of the supercharger than a ported system running 8 lbs. of boost. This makes the boost number a relative term and the actual amount of air in "cfm" the important number for tuners to determine the proper AFR.

We've yet to install the Phadt suspension and LPE 3:70 diff and halfshafts. Thats gonna blow the budget for this winter. The plan is to stroke and forge the bottom end next winter so we will run somewhat conservatuive on the boost this year.

Yes for now. I assume your refering to the potential for trouble with the needle bearings as opposed to an upgraded roller bearing?

Thanks for the interest guys...

Yep, that GT9 looks like it has a bit of lift!

LS7 427 · 12-28-2010, 09:55 PM

Here's the dyno numbers from today. The baseline (blue) was with the LT's, exhaust and CAI done last July. The new dyno numbers (red) include the ported TVS2300, LPE GT9 cam and LPE CNC'd LS3 heads.

They were running a 3.6" pulley on the S/C at 7 lbs. boost.

I think Namala has some pictures to go with this that hopefully he will post.

Thanks for the pictures Namala, I know you spend a lot of time doing this sort of stuff, I think its great that people can see how parts are installed and look as a project progresses. Too often we get to see bits and pieces of a car without getting the real feel for the overall project

Now as for you Bryan, you have shamed me into stepping up my project Camaro, you bad man you.

Thanks, it should be a pretty fun ride come spring. The guys are just waiting on some parts to arrive from LPE to continue. I think the tires are being mounted and balanced on the HRE wheels today.
