New plans!
#6
BIG EDIT... Had a long talk with the guy that's helping me...
We're doing a 7.0L lq9 with a 3.4 Whipple at 22psi... Looking for around 1k hp on pump...
More on race gas...
With no lag...
Sure I would see more power with the 91mm thumper, but I want something unique...
Going standalone to make it all work, including with my stock cluster...
Using my existing fuel system, getting accessories off of a junkyard ls1, doing an 8 rib pulley set up with all of it. Getting a lower intake manifold from whipple, used for ls1 setups (mainly in sand rails) and modifying it to fit the 3.4 in a way everything will line up. No more MAF tuning as well...
Also, backing it with either a th400 or a 4l80e (if i want overdrive) manual valve automatic... Using my built solid 8.8 until it breaks, with a custom length driveshaft...
Already found a company that makes the K MEMBER for the swap. Tranny mount will be custom... Using all my existing intercooler "stuff"...
I am doing this build out of my garage this time, without the assistance of a shop. The only thing I'll have done by them is wiring the engine management ****, and tuning of course... Motor comes out this week...
