ls3 swap, in car acceleration, and cutout video

Ghetto inspired me to go out and get a litte more video of my car. as well as someone curious of possibly and ls2/ls3 swap.
one video is of the different exhaust notes with the flowmasters, and cutouts, as well as some better shots of under the hood with my swap. Cleaned up a bit.
The other video is a short clip of me getting on it from about 20-100.
6.2 N.A!!!
Hope you guys like them.

Re: ls3 swap, in car acceleration, and cutout video

NICE...!!!!!

You are making me wish I did 3 things differently....

1. Duals. Sounds MUCH better.
2. A/C delete. SO much cleaner under the hood
3. ....added a couple liters to the motor!! That thing moves!

Nice work man! You were the guy I was trying to think of in that other thread asking about ls2/ls3...and I just couldnt remember the screen name.

wow You must be proud--thats an awesome car.
( I think I must sell my engine now)

Do another accleration run but get some one to sit behind you and record the speedo.

So when can I bring my car down for that swap?

Re: ls3 swap, in car acceleration, and cutout video

Avro- Anytime....

The cutouts, are a great toy to put on the car!! Very fun to go from nice mild exhaust sound, to a full drag car sound!!
The A/C delete was something I struggled with. When it came down to it, I ALWAYS drive with the windows down anyway. So far there has only been 1 day where I wished I had it. Otherwise I'm glad I ditched it. I did keep the fan for heat, but may rid of that this winter for a cleaner look yet..... not sure.....

I'd like to get it to the track some night this fall. I need a good set of M/T's though. These nitto's don't grab for ****. I have some more video that I haven't posted where I tried to film my acceleration and got in the throttle to quick and ripped the tires clean. It definitely takes some finess in 1st and 2nd not to completely lose control. You guys have any suggestions?

i suggest keeping the heater...

i ditched mine and rue the day... rue it. LOL I summised the same as you that i ride with the windows down mostly... and that i had ttops but you know what it gets really hot here and when it rains i wish i had some a/c even to just defrost the windshield.

and in the winter it never heats up

The engine is not far from stock. I have ported the heads, and put a cam in.

Re: ls3 swap, in car acceleration, and cutout video

What headers are you running - curious on how they fit the third gen chassis...

Also, is this a crate motor or out of a wrecked C6 LS3 Vette?

Nice! And I am wondering the same thing as paul. Only thing I would do different would be Firebird fuel rail covers.

The engine was a crate engine.
The headers are the Stainless Steel Works headers that Hawks offers with 3" secondary tubes.
