LOL alot of fast z's out there that dont have a v8 in it.i guess to each is his own....

 

lol yes I see a whole **** load of 6-700hp vqs going 11s...very impressive. nothing against them..its just very hard and ridiculously expensive to get any decent numbers out of those engines. Im using a proven drivetrain in an unproven platform(when it comes to drag racing) so as of right right now..until I can produce some sort of number I have no leg to stand on..however from my past experience with the LS engine in a car much heavier..they are pretty impressive..and VERY strong. Please don't post in my thread if your intention is to start a fight.



P.S..that comment I made was directed to my own car..not the Zs in general..look at Hals car...VQ and my car wont touch that thing..its all in how its built. Ive seen 400hp cars go 10s..and ive seen 900hp cars go...11s

 

last year when i was making some money i was looking at the cost of a tt setup for my g, in adding everything up including lower comp rebuild, you can get into the LS swap for the same price, if not cheaper.
i was looking at the hotrodders special, iron block LQ4 and L92 heads its 60 some lbs heavier than the aluminum ls2(big deal), slightly lower compression and super cheap. end up with 400 tire no problem and still get high 20's mpg

here is an artical 480 HP for under $4000 (try that with a VQ)

its all just a pipe dream now with cuts at work

 

My engine will put down somewhere from 420-440whp...for under 900$ and still be extremely reliable. The only mod being a camshaft and supporting items like springs, and all new gaskets.(including head gaskets) add ported heads/intake manifold and your looking at close to(or over) 500whp...all motor...stock block.

 

so awesome

good luck with my dream swap!!

just like the RX7's its the ultimate swap, take a car with a perfect suspension and looks with a flawed power plant.

 

just read through the thread..nice work man we def need to see some vids and sound clips when this beast is on the road or dyno..props to you my friend

 

hahaha been waiting here for some time.

GL with the project. Did you ever consider dropping in a VQ40?

 

who is going to do your tunning? I highly recommend blackbearperformance......... his customer service is AWESOME and he really knows his stuff.

Do you have any plans of going w/ a s/c or turbo ever?

 

Im going to tune it. I tuned my PL 37r turbo setup...this will be much different.

 

My engine mounts shipped out yesterday so this could be a good weekend.

 

I know you'll be glad to get more parts in, that's always fun
