Welcome to LS1.com! That sounds like a serious engine... any pics?

**noyz1** · 05-01-2010, 07:50 PM

No yet- Engine is still at the builder. It took Callies 8 weeks to send him the crank. I am expecting 580 or better at the rear wheels before the giggle gas. I have a 2 stage nitrous system (plate & port fogger) w/stand alone fuel system. Car has been down since Sept.

Any driveline and suspension mods to keep up with the powerplant?

Performa Built 3600 stall, DSS 1000hp drive shaft & axles & 3.91 gears. Trans is next then gforce 12bolt IRS diff. I know the trans won't hold what the motor will put out, but $$$ are short. one thing at a time
