Any >700rwhp car I ever own again (if RWD) will have a set of 15s as one of the first mods.

Researching as we speak for the proper wheel/tire setup.

Does anyone know if i can bolt up LS3 heads to a 427 LSX to be able to mount my heartbeat? I know Scuzz mounted his back up on his 427 (none LSX) swap but i didn't see what heads were used.

Worst case senerio if you want to keep the brembos there's a few 700+ rwhp cars around here running 17" welds on Hoosier slicks. Running 25 psi they hook pretty damn good, even on the street.

I run a F1R procharger, daily driver, makes roughly 1040 RWHP.

As far as tires go, when I roll race I run a M&H Racemaster DR 325 45 17 and it dead hooks from a 60 MPH roll. For Street tires I use a Mickey Thompson ET II drag Radial.

M&H are good. Heart beat will make it harder to hook from a hit because of the torque.

Ls3 heads

I'm on a 18x11 rim with a 305/45 tire.

Hub centric spacer installed to keep from rubbing the lower control arm

To take advantage of the bore size and 6 bolt of a 427LSX I would suggest going to a head that has a bigger intake valve and has 6 bolts.

Would be optimal but im going to stay with my brand new Beat until i decide to change.

Im assuming you guys did some head work as well? What kind of boost are you going to be putting down and what fuel system?

14 lbs of boost through the 427 LS7.

Yep some work to the heads were done. ADM played with them to get a specific compression.

ADM upgraded my fuel system when I had a 750 package on my LSA. I don't know the specifics.

Are you planning on running more boost?
Also are you going to be running e-85?

Nighthawk89 · 07-16-2015, 10:27 PM

Im really contemplating e-85 as there is a gas station not too far away that offers it. Which fuel system can i purchase to support and which injectors will i need?

2010SSRSM6 · 07-30-2015, 02:41 AM

Bosch 1000cc injectors or ID 1000's, Squash dual pumps or Fore Triple.

Mine finished up at 10pm tonight........748rwhp. You know who you need to email. lol
