All i did was ask a question about the LT1 motors because i really have not heard alot about people moddeding them to that point. I was interested in getting a little more well known with what you and some others have done with them. I think it's cool. I think that maybe you took my question as questioning your honesty which in fact i was not. I'm just interested in what other people like to spend their time on.

I guess I couldn't tell the difference, It's no big deal.

Ask Tye. All i do is ask questions.

Still in progress. Pulled the intake and heads last night and got them shipped out to Elliot portworks this morning. I won't have the heads back for a few weeks so I'll be cleaning up the block in the meantime. If you ever need head work done check them out at http://www.elliottsportworks.com/lt1.html they show the different hp potentials of each of their packages on there.

well that was fun.

im actually genuinely interested here. I know head changes on a v8 are important, but could you maybe through some pics up of the change? Kinda want to see the process and all..

Wow.... I missed alot. However, I'm glad you assholes kissed and made up on your own

Native, keep us posted on your build!

Pics of progress. If you want to be critical, go fuck yourself.

Normal engine bay pic.


Engine covers off.


Intake, valvecovers and headers off


Heads off

Great pics! looks like alot of work. you do this all yourself?

Yeah it's a little involved. Yeah I do the work myself. This is my second time doing H/C swap on a lt1 though so it's familiar.

WOW....... i really need to get my intake off and and swap my junk over to my new stuff.

yeah i called him a few months ago and talking to him about goals and what he had to offer. Man he will talk your ear off if you ask the right questions! lol But, I would like to get LE3 heads sometime in the future...only thing is, I need to work on drain train to support what I have before I go any bigger.

terminator04 is right, he does ask a fuck ton of questions lol. glad u decided this route.

The link above, if my car.

Your going to be very happy with Lloyd's heads, he does great work and amazing customer support.

My car did put down 377 on Midwest Hybrids Dyno, I was pretty happy with the results. It was the first time on the dyno on a Mail order tune, it was running fairly rich 11.6 afr across the board so needless to say there is some power left in it.

wasn't you fuel pump maxed out too? Or did you get a new one? For some reason I think llyod was telling me once you did that you would be closer to 390-400. But I could be way off lol

At that power level you are on the edge of what the stock pump can safely support. You might be able to get away with running the stock pump fine. I had 50k mile son mine and it wasn't able to keep up. IMHO its wise to replace the stock pump in an FBody when you start getting serious about performance. And when you do the Racetronix setup is the way to go. Easy plug and play.

run meth to pick up where your fuel pump drops off
If V8s do that. i dont know shit. lol

they don't usually do that on unboosted cars. not saying you can't but i'm betting they don't have the compression/cylinder pressures to make god use of any meth. not only that but that is not a safe thing to do yes people do do it but what if the meth pump fails or you run out and don't know it. also if his fuel pump was not able to supply enough fuel the a/f would be lean not rich. badass car for sure buddy.
