sorry car was a lil dirty

and a sound clip got the camra wet a lil lol

 

Thats was up bro it looks real clean... dont look dirty lol.... keep the good work up homie

 

Now that's just great! Damn! Here goes another 3gen LSx car for me to beat up on. I'm going to have fun with those guys lol lol

 

looks good jr thanks for the update . did you run the 317 heads if so did you miil them ?

 

no i didnt just left it how it was and its cool becuz im going to do a heads and cam swap. looking to get close to 500hp i hope. im going with the torqer v2 cam by texas speed

 

wow! nice swap, and she purrs like a kitty

 

that shouldnt be to too hard, didnt LQ9's come from the factory with 350hp? that LS intake and free flowing exhaust would help it off the bat, plus i hear LS type motors really respond well to low back presssure systems.

 

Thanks it come with 345 horses and 380 lb.-ft. stock. yea i put a ls6 intake so she can breath more

 

Looks good. I would try to get the air filter away from the radiator though. Do something similar to TPI Terrors setup. Looks like it works pretty well.

 

Is that rear wheel HP or flywheel HP?

 

I especially like the nitrous bottle on the passenger floorboard, disguised as a water bottle.

 

the car is looking sweet! so the truck manifolds ended up clearing the chassis? i have to check this out sometime

 

Looking good. I hope you can make it out to the Los Angeles Invasion so we can see what that puppy will do.

no i ended up going with ls1 manifolds. the truck ones didnt fit. i tried it was to much work to make them work
u going to come to the meet bro?

 

I do believe those are factory flywheel numbers. So you can figure maybe less than 300 to the wheels.

 

Well if I remember right back in the early LSX day, the F-Bodies were rated at 305 at the flywheel. Come to find out that was whp.

 

Congrats, it sounds wicked. Have you tuned it yet?

You should have brought it to the Bob's Big boy last week, the LSx swappers were getting tons of love

 

Yea GM is well known for under-rating theyre motors, i wouldnt be surprised if this motor pulled better than advertised on a dyno.

 

This is very true. I just figured in a 20% DL loss. That LQ9 is a torquey bastard.

 

this what a stock lq9 put down ur right about torq.

holy cow! thats Beast!

 

Aside from the heads, it's mainly bolt ons. Those are beastly numbers even for the stock cam. Geez! imagine what it would do with ported heads and a decent cam.

 

Quote from OP....

(I know this thread is old but those numbers were incorrect as i latter found out the dyno operator had no idea what he was doing so disregard the numbers i dont want false info be spread around on my behalf.)

 

i found this one off of ls1 tech my bad on num



[quote=keliente][quote=LSs1Power]We didn't do this for a long time now and we have alot of new setups in the past few months. Its nice to see what everyone has now. Everyone post the following:

1. Engine/Exhaust setup -WS6 02 LS1, Quarter Mile Performance Air Lid,SLP Mass Air Sensor, Smooth Flow Bellow, Modified y-pipe, & Magnaflow Exhaust

2. Fuel Setup - stock

3. N/A, FI or NOS - n/a

4. M6 or A4 - M6 stock clutch

5. Rear/Drive Shaft Setup - stock driveshaft

6. Dyno number and graph if handy. - 321.64hp/347.53tq (SAE) smoothing with mods. Used 91 octane gas. Dont have stock numbers.

should be close to an ls1 should produce more power then it

 

All these fellas doing lsx swaps n im here excited about converting my 305 into tpi... kinda bums me out lol!! ..

 

Clean swap tho!!

 

oh ok they looked a bit different compared to mine. idk haven't paid much attention touched my engine in a while! . lol
looks bad *** bro i wanna hear it in person.

yeah i can tell that the hardcore tpi guys are doing a lot of research on the ls1tech forums.

 

thanks bro but if u want to do the swap its not that bad. you can get a low mile 5.3 complete for about 500 buck all day.all u half to warry about is mounts , crossmember, wire , trans ,and fuel pump thats about it.
im sure when i start modding it, it will produce big num.

tpi terror
i know its kind of funny lol. I want to get my heads and cam done befor la invasion. ITs not that loud untill i give it gas. for me that good less cops look at me and it a sleeper. u going to come to the meet were going to the shop after the cruz and hang out

 

Shhhh...you're going to scare all the TPI guys

I just saw a LQ9 build put down 490rwhp/430rwtq with off the shelf parts: LQ9 stock bottom end, Stage 2.5 5.3l PRC CNC Ported heads, MS3 cam 237/242 .603/.609 112 LSA, FAST 90/92

http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/dynamo...ideo-pics.html

 

Shhh..... I'm ready to race some of those 3gen LSX guys anytime when they're ready.

 

"Shhhh...you're going to scare all the TPI guys"

Hey, we are not even in the same league. Nothing to be scared about, as we know what the LSX motors will do, so I know my fate ahead of time when up against one.

We are just trying to squeeze some horsepower from an antiquated intake system that was developed 26 years ago and has been tossed aside by virtually everyone. There has been no new aftermarket support for years.

With heads and a cam that 6.0L car will be putting down some serious horsepower. In fact without a roll bar you will probably only make one pass before being booted. Make that pass a good one.

 

vince u shouldve followed us after the big boys meet.. my clutch is still holding. it would've been enough for a quick run on the fwy..

hey jr not sure if ill be able to make it to the meet. im thinking of dropping my transmission that weekend. clutch has been waiting to be installed for a while. and my only days off from work are my school days.. so i have to somehow change stuff around.

 

You guys left too soon. I was having lunch with my girl.

 

Told ya, you were going to scare some TPI's

Downplaying that Beastly $12k motor of yours lol. Either way, hoping we both dip into the 11's @ LA Invasion

I just can't wait to see it

 

I should be able to get an 11.9 this time around regardless of the weather. We should see a few cars in the 11's this time around.

The motor looks pretty much like a stocker except for the headers and large airfilter.

 

No LT1 love on this thread?

"The few, the crazy, LT1 owners."

 

got some luv for lt1 one of my homies has a lt1 in his. he goes by jermy.

 

"No LT1 love on this thread?"

There are some very respectable LT1's running around. I would not take them lightly. From what I can tell the "opti" is the weakness with the LT1.

 

AND YOUR RIGHT AND WHAT ELSE SUCKS ITS BY THE WATER PUMP. SO IF WATER LEAKS ON IT, ITS DONE

 

I couldn't care less ...
My goal was to make power with a TPI and show (and help) others that it can be done.

Nuff said!

 

Yeah, the optispark is the weak point, but only if it gets wet. This is why the older ones were vented for that reason I believe. All depends on the pump. There is an "opti" delete option out there that I saw a few years ago. It involves the ignition system of a Cadillac Northstar engine if I'm not mistaken. Not sure how well it works, but will stick to the opti.

 

If you think Allen spent $12k total on his current engine, then I'm gonna think it costs $12k to install an LS1 into a thirdgen.

 

when i ditched the tpi set up i got top dollar for all my bolt ons and the tpi system .. well over 1800 on tpi parts it pretty much paid for my ls1.
so your assumptions are incorrect.

 

You're absolutely correct! 12K is an extremely conservative number to replicate Allen's current combination.

 

It doesn't matter how much you spend on any combo being TPI or LSX as long as you get the results you want. Everyone is not a racer. They just like a good running car.

Now a while back the 4th gen guys looked at the third gen guys like our cars ain't crap. This was a throne in our butts. The same results is now coming from some of the converted LSX 3gens now. This is why You get some of the attitudes here. We all know the LSX engines are better than Gen1 engines. Just don't rub it in out faces. Anyone can be beaten any given day. Let's just keep it for the love of the 3gen f-bodies.

 

You got it wrong about LSx swapped 3rd gens. I'm pretty sure the SoCal LSx swappers had to defend their builds to the TPI guys that went into our builds and called them "bastardized," expensive, non-smog legal, too complicated, "should have done a TPI build" etc.

I got tired of the BS and proved why the LSx can be a better alternative to a modified TPI. Now I've found out that the TPI's are not all they claim, they are just as expensive(if not more to make 420rwhp), not exactly smog compliant(modified headers), and require extensive modifications(custom porting, welding etc.). At the end of the day its whatever makes you happy

This is a LSx swap thread, back on topic. The LSx swap are slowly taking over

 

I was never part of the tpi crowd so I wouldn't know how the 4th gen guys reacted towards these 20+year old cars. I wouldn't get butthurt cuz the real lsx guys are always faster at the end of the day.
A lot of business in the lsx world, new products, huge market, advanced innovations, tuning etc.

When I posted my dyno results on my ls1 build, two individuals in particular who commented on my thread "I make those numbers here on a tpi everyday" and what not. Good for you but I don't want to pay for your labor, it can be done adifferent way.
On a out of state ls1build I saw the same member stating " u should've stuck with the tpi, mine runs 12 s". And what not.

From my pov ive never attempted to promote lsx swap in every 3gen in so cal or gone into vincents or anyone elses build thread stating "you should've gone with an ls1".. .
