i ve got a 92 rs with an LQ5, headers,open element air filter,custom chip.and the 350 injectors and i stayed with a 97 z28 with a catback just telling all of you that if done right it doesn t take much to be fast enough! We only went from a roll whihc i think helped since i still have 2.73 gears.

 

ohh yeah i have the edelbrock tbi performer intkae too

 

Sounds about right. You must have a good tune with your combo. Do you have an LO5 and not an LQ5? I am not familiar with any LQ5.

 

yeah i though it was lq5 but i now see that it is a lo5
it is the motor that they used in caprices and trucks

 

Yup that would be the LO5

 

it jsut suprises me that i could stay with him when i all i hear about is how much tbi sucks from all the other guys but screw them once i start burjing my own chips and doing sum more mods it will sucks to be them when i pass there a**

 

Dude right on man. I am trying to stick with tbi for as long as I can. For one I already have it and it is cheaper to work with. I have seen some of the tbi cars on this board making some really awesome power and making it into the 12's no problem so until I have tapped out the potential I will not switch to anything else.

Good luck with your tuning and mods and congrats on your car man

 

ohh yeah that was also with a a dying trans
like it died a few days latter that how bad it was. Right now it is in the shop gettting a nice rebuild

 

from my point of view, TBI= a carb that doesnt have trouble starting when it's 10 degrees outside

I'm looking into that ZZ383 crate motor, and retaining the TBI setup

 

yeah that would be awesome to do
that would be one small block that will actaully need the 454 tbi and injectors

 

Yeah get that 383!! There a quite a few 383 tbi combos on this board. R90camaros or something like that has a pretty bad *** one. So it definitely can be done.

 

I'm going to make a new thread so I can get some input on what I will need to make this swap work 110%

 

Not to call or anything but how fast of a roll was it? As a former owner of modded Lo3 and Lo5 and now modded Lt1 I can tell you that the Lt1 will rape either of the Lox motors no problem. The problem with the stock Lo5/Lo3 motors are the swirl port crappy heads and the motors lack any high end, the Lt1 has so much more pull from upper rpm's even bone stock over the Lo5. I have raced my old car(now my brothers) repeatedly from a roll and there's no chance for him at all, I can easily pull 1-2 cars in no time. But from a stop, he can hook like crazy which leads me to play catch up for a second or two but by the 1/8 I'm a good car or so ahead of him. Dunno if the guy in the Z could drive or not but good kill either way. Like I said, not trying to call Bs or take away from your kill but in my personal experience an internally stock Lo5 will get raped by a near stock Lt1. Goodkill nonetheless!!!

 

we went from 20 40 and 60 every time i stayed with him until i had to shift cause with a completly worn out 700R4 it took forever to shift
we never did go above 80 though becuase my third gear was useless if i tried to get on it hard the clutches would just slip

 

i went and got my car today and it now has a shift kit and corvette servo and tonight i m gonan with that kid hopefully this will be enough to beat him

 

Sweet dude let us know how that goes.

 

i lost to a stage one roush mustang by about two car lengths
he thinks he is sucka badass now. well he had four or more at the start but from about 30 on up i was pulling on him till about 110 thats when i let off if i had a posi and could actaully hit the gas before 20 i would easy destroy him but i m getting tires latter this week so hopefully that will be enough to at least launch kinda hard

 

ummmm.... What is a "sucka badass"? Just wondering. I have not ever heard of that. LOL!!

So did you guys race from a roll or from a stop? What all does a stage 1 roush mustang have?

Bill

 

I have beat quite a few LT1 cars. Never had a shot at a LS1 car from a stop but got slammed by one from 70 to 110

Rad8,

Are you running a 305? How do you like the head and cam swap that you have? Just wondering. I am thinking of building up the 305 that I took out of my car as a spare engine and I have an lt1 cam and vortec heads sitting around with a rpm air gap manifold. Figured that it would be cool just to build and then have incase my engine took a huge s h i t on me.

Bill

 

nope 350 and luvin it

 

i crashed stupid me luckly no one was hurt i already got the car apart and got the parts to fix it but then it has to leave becasue now i cant afford the insurance on it because i m sixteen this sucks
