Re: Rookie on lsx
Made the agreement to buy... 135k miles from what I was told... unfortunately I was wrong it has everything but the computer... so do I buy a pcm or go carb? Part of me wants to go carb bC of less wiring. A lot less electrical work... but would that hurt my bottom line? Looking as close to 600hp and tq as I can get... natural aspiration **no boost**
its possible to get more like 550’s hp. Good head and cam, typically 450-475 whp give or take. Bore it out to make it closer to a ls3 and use ls3 heads top end, with decent compression you can get closer to 500 whp in a manual trans, 475-480 auto most likely but thats a radical motor. Very hot street deal
408-416 stroker is the best way to make 600+
