Coming to Thunderhill next month if all goes well!!!

PS

While TPIS may sponsor me, you can get a discount!!!

Tell them Ken Kurtz sent ya :-)

TPIS is offereing 10% off !!!

That looks like a monster... What kind of numbers are you expecting HP/TQ?

Expecting??? How about dyno numbers?

725hp @ 7200rpm
562ft @ 6400rpm

300hp/480ft @ 3200rpm

Is that based off of an LS3, or is it their own, completely new block (a la Dart, World, etc.)???

Umm yeah, that should do some damage.

I'd take that over a quadruple digit turbo system.

It's still not enough vs. someone who can drive it. The turbo motors just make too much power, hence why they are illegal in AIX in 2012. I was crewing on AI cars between the the guy who brought the most NA HP to Nats (Elliott Fisher) vs. the guy who brought the most HP to Nats (Chris Griswold). Even without Elliott's hub failure, I think the guy who brought the most HP (and a well setup car) would've won.

Chris beat Elliott at Putnam as well with E on new Hoosiers and Chris on older ones.

I don't have a dog in the fight, just reporting the facts.

PS- That's a helluva LSX motor.

WOW! Awesome build......makes my 680 HP LS7 seem quite the wimp!

Nice motor, but lets see the rest of the drivetrain!

Randy - You always make me cry when mentioning that you have an LS7 in that car now...

Ken - that's going to be a fun bullet to play with, congrats.

I'm just an internet spectator. I watched Roco's reality show and I was a bit stunned in the start of that first race when Griswold pulls on him. Didn't know that Griswold was armed with turbos but suspected something after that. But that's just insanity. Later Roco breaks his diff.

I doubt 700 or 1000 HP is going to make much difference in lap times for me. NA 720 is less weight and less stuff to break. And brakes less stuff.

I have no dog in this fight either.

One should fit in your car ...

...one would think.....however with the fight mine is putting up.....I may have second thoughts.....DOH!

Not meaning to hijack ...

We'll put it in the CMC car.

That's amazing

Will be switching to a Tranzilla T56 from RS gear this summer sometime.

Currently is a built T56, but we're pushing it's limits. It will be going thru a Mcleod race clutch, 7" setup using their nuclear bomb protecting bellhousing... lol

ACPT carbon fiber drive shaft into a Strange 12 Bolt.

Helping getting it down is a Unbalanced Engineeringg Torque arm (if you haven't got one yet, get one...) I'm able to get off corners hard enough to make people ask if I have a independent rear end...

the cam

duration @ .050 intake 248.8
duration @ .050 exhaust 264.5
Lobe seperation 108.2
lift/ intake .704
lift / exhaust .680

That's a helllllllava motor Ken. Should be TONS of fun. I'm certainly green as I'm sure everyone else is

It will most certainly put to use the UE TQ arm on the car.
