Re: 5.3 to ls2 86 camaro
Do you have any sort of build pictures of the turbo setup by chance? What kind of mods did you do? Stand up the radiator or anything like that?

Some nice runs there and sweet rides. With your setup you should race them from a dig, might be a different story.

Re: 5.3 to ls2 86 camaro
Everything is installed and the car moved out from under the back porch. Busted the oil pan when letting it down... No I was not using the pan as a lift point.. Wheel on the jack killed it. But all is well and pan has been replaced. Should have dyno numbers thursday

Dyno numbers were 463/430 which is about what I was expecting. The car is a different animal on the street...and.....the A/C works!

redyno'd the car today.. ended up making 449.7 hp.. but this was also with the a/c now on the car so its having to turn that belt/pulley and it was 98* in the shop with 93% humidity.. so it was HOT to say the least

Re: 5.3 to ls2 86 camaro
lol yeah.... never noticed that. got the car retuned thursday with the maf back on and its alot easier to drive vs. the SD tune i had. pulling roughly 96kpa though so i need to look for the culprit behind that.. i have a spectre filter from advance on the car that had maybe has 2000 miles on it that my tuner thinks is my restriction... http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/web...P|GRP2026_____

Re: 5.3 to ls2 86 camaro
Installed the trak pak yesterday and I couldnt be happier. Its a really nice peice and I can slide a coke can under the "hump" in the crossmember and it doesnt come close to touching. Went on with minor mods and some good country boy welding. Thanks to the guys at bmr

Nice! 
"Country boy" welding is the best kind, right? 
Did it affect handling? Any better launches?

Re: 5.3 to ls2 86 camaro
Either going with the 2.9 whipple for the f-body(if they make it), a vortech v-3 with the respaced a&a brackets or a 150 shot direct port setup... Any of which will put me over 600 hp and into the 6's. Prefer'd to go with the whipple setup if its not gonna cost me an arm and my first born.
