More photos from Andy this morning.

We part ways

Shots of the LSX

Dropping the tank for a fuel pump install is what is going on here i think

Nice pix. Very cool seeing a build like this from one of the better shops around. I didn't see what mods you had before build- were those baseline dyno numbers at the engine? Or at the wheel? Just wondering because at the engine (stock) is showing less power then advertised when sold new from the factory (426 HP).

Those are rear wheel numbers. The car had full 3" catless exhaust, 1 7/8" long tube headers, CAI, and a tune. The stock rear wheel horsepower is around 350, so it was already slightly better than a stock SS.

Nice, keep the pics comming.

casvg5 · 07-19-2012, 12:41 PM

Baseline dyno pull.

*CamaroSpike23* · 07-19-2012, 12:56 PM

Cant believe they would just let the calipers hang from the brake hoses like that.

Andy says car should be done today!

From what I understand, break in engine oil is used for some time before final dyno tune. Andy will have to comment on that when he updates this thread.

IT'S IN!

J-Rod6410 · 07-20-2012, 10:27 AM

Wow man! We were just talking about you doing this at the last street meet and 2 weeks later its all done! Very impressive

And I'm glad to see you went with the GT9 cam instead of the ZL1 stock cam!

It looks awesome! Can't wait to see it again! We'll be in Sealy tonight at the track if you wanna come by so we can check it out

I just finished installing a supercharger on a V6 camaro so we're gonna see what it can do

Congrats

It always was the Lingenfelter cam, I was mistaken. I am hopefully driving up after work today to pick it up, so I wont be back in the Houston area till way late. Anyone meeting tomorrow?

You were the guy with the immaculately clean underhood and the nos tank in the rear seat right?

Waiting to hear from andy on the final numbers!

Yes very very pleased with the turn around, ADM said he would make it happen and he just texted me to tell me it will be done by 4pm today.

The LS3 core was taken back and a core refund put towards the LSX.
