Sounds fantastic David.

Great power figures, how much boost are you running?

Any pictures?

Thanks mate, I believe it was 10psi but the balancer came loose, so have had to fix that all up, logged the tune and it's making around 14-15psi now so hence the reason it's going back to get retuned with the balancer all sorted plus some added goodies!
I will upload some photos to photo bucket tonight, just gotta try and remember how it works as its been a few years since I've posted photos on here

Was it reusing a used bolt?

That is awesome power on a Mainline for only 10 psi on a stock capacity LS1.

It's because I run a forged Eagle 3.622 crank and for some reason it doesn't have a keyway for some reason, a pinning was attempted br failed due to how hard the crank is so it was left, it has recently been pinned properly and is all good, luckily it is a forged crank or it would have been stuffed from spinning!

Yeah I was impressed with the result, can't wait for E85, hopefully for close to 500rwkw

Nice build, would love to see some pics.

Couple of questions,

have you considered putting some spacers between the charger and the block? (FIinterchillers sell them for $500 a pair).

Secondly, what intake/filter system are you running?

Cheers,

Hey mate, they only make the spacers for rectangle port heads unfortunately

Im currently just running the intake pipe that comes with the kit and a pod filter, I will eventually change it to a vcm box set up

Nice car, how's the front tow hook mounted?

My workshop made up a bracket for it, I built the car into a targa tarmac rally car with a full cage for a couple of years but have now turned it back into a street car and a more street friendly set up with a touch more power lol I'll post photos of that to

Also got a custom grille made and some badges painted in piano black to fit up in the next few days
