Dude - Numbers game refers to cubic inches not HP. The LS engine is impressive regardless of 500 or 1200hp.
1000hp seems like a lot but any real LS engine builder knows with forced induction it is "dare I say" easy - or mostly easy http://www.gmsvideos.com/video/6197 this link speaks for itself |

Thanks a bunch in advance. 1) What automatic transmission are you running in these ? (e.g. a modified version of the 6L80E or the 4L80E) Are they all the same or have you tried different ones. If you built them, I'm interested. If not, can you point me to who did? 2) What rearend/differential/axles/driveshaft are you using? Once again, If you built them, I'm interested. If not, can you point me to who did? 3) What tires are you running? e.g. street tread, drag radial or slicks ? 4) Have you broken any driveline parts that have been upgraded ? Basically, I am trying to find the best solution to a drivetrain that can handle power like the 1,200+ hp Camaros you guys have built. Thanks Again. |

Quite a bit. The trick is it will also be run in events like the Silver State Classic Challenge/Maxton Mile. I do have items like a Ford 9" IRS on the table, but it is a very pricey alternative. I thought about straight axle, but the appeal of the IRS for dual purpose is strong. I am really trying to make a versatile drag/open road/street car. Granted, it's a different platform, but there are Vipers and Corvette's with IRS's that are running 8's in the 1/4. I know you do a ton with your suspension, any interest or contacts for the rest of the drivetrain? Thanks ! |

I have tried them al but the jury is our on duration of parts I would say based on the Ausy abuse the diffs will be ok for a while if you really want a daily / drive it like it is stolen rear end / We are shortly offering a 9 upgrade that still has the IRS and a solid live Axle up grade by March |

Nickey Hood and Heritage Grille
The hood arrived in very good condition well crated, complete with hardware. The under hood ducting and finish are excellent. It took longer to get out of the crate than it did to bolt and adjust on the car. Being a suspension guy, fitting a hood was a new experience and much easier than I thought it would be. Two people holding the hood helps too.
It will go to paint on Friday along with the GM Heritage Grille. We are altering the under hood duct a bit to have it dump fresh air to the ProCharger. It wouldn't be my hood is we didn't tweak it just a bit. Thank you for the EXCELLANT service. We'll post more pictures as we complete the work. |
