Yea mine was procharged I think at 23k. At 10psi from a p600b. It lasted to 72k or something. But that was because the fmu took a dump. Then the guy had another motor built. And still didn't figure it out. And cracked the rings in that motor. Which is how I got it. But it was raced everyday possible along with being at the track. So i could see a low mile motor lasting awhile. Which would be plenty to save for a built motor.

And I definitely don't want to do that. __________________ 1995 Caprice Classic Wagon, LT1,...

build the bottom end/ motor first as a stepping stone to what you want to do in the future.

I never saw pics of the motor. I kinda avoided those because I was afraid I would see some stuff that couldn't be unseen. After hearing about molten sodium and alot of the other stuff I was sure there was some kind of insanity under the hood. If it has low miles he may can get 50 or 60k more out of it before time comes to rebuild. Most anyone can afford to build something pretty nice in that time.

i was reading around and LM speed and MTI both have kits for the ls1 f-bodies. the magnacharger will be there right when u hit the gas this is great for street but if u want more top end power the a centrifigul will get u there either way theyre both nice blowers im gonna do a maggie when i get some cash and get an ls1

ok cool thanks, i can't decide what i'm going to do yet. fixing to park the car for the winter and pulling the motor but i don't know if i want boost or if i want to go nitrous. right now i'm on a 200 shot of nitrous but i'm looking for easy 9's by the time i'm done. i just don't know anything about boost but i know about nitrous lol. I'm wanting to run a 150 shot off the line then spray another 200...

There was a post on YB a while ago about this, in the end a member ran front and rear mount twins on a 10.5 car (or an outlaw radial car cant remember) and got damn near the same results (Hp numbers and times) with both. My personal opinion is its easier to run them up front. Im not a fan of rear mount.
