Thanks Jake. Yes, I must admit (and those are not good shots - I'll upload some more soon) it does look cool. I'm always lifting it's hood to rub a fingerprint off a shiny piece. Lex, I've filled out the form. Wanted to go back in and edit my first post to include my name (Bill) and couldn't...

I wanted to make sure that everything was done and I was happy with the engine before I posted because man, oh man, have I had some hassles getting this far. I could tell you stories for hours (and I probably will) about what it took to get me this far but here I am. Final Result. 230...

I think it was 16k. It might be 14k come to think of it. In any case I'm running it at redline at 6,500 engine rpm. I have the notes with the car which is at the new engine builder so I'll clarify when I find out what my notes said for sure. Can't comment on the other stuff as I'm pretty new at...

With a Mechanical Marvels theme let's see some weird, wacky and wonderful things people do with their mechanical skills. Let's try to keep it amazing and stick to either extremely overpowered cars or even better still weird mechanical stuff that is guaranteed to please any rev head. I'll...

How does it sound and feel? How likely is it to happen? How would I be careful? What do you suggest? When does it happen? That video was taken with the original pulley with an engine rpm of 6500 which I believe spins the charger to it's max rpm (16k I think) and I'd go to an 8pk if I thought...

What's the most you've ever put in? Ever filled it from very near empty?

What size tank?

Amazing! These wheels are REALLY different... Not sure how they'd look on a car without seeing it but I just can't stop looking at them.

I was running a 1UZ with a 3.9:1 (LSD) rear ratio (4.11:1 around town) with an overdrive A340E trans, K&N Air Pod Autronic, extractors, free flowing exhaust, stock internals but mix that with a quite heavy foot and I average around 16-18mpg. 400km (250 miles) for every 65 litre (17 gallon)...

I've got an M90 from Sprintex (they call it an S90) and I run it with a grooved (6pk) belt as opposed to a ribbed belt. The M90 is a twisted rotor roots type blower. I get the whine which you are talking about and you are right, it is cool to hear and almost addictive if you're a rev head like...

http://www.kostecki.com.au/ls1_ls6_performance_parts.php They talk about an "LS1 up to 450 cubic inches" which is "coming soon". Probably based on the World Warhawk block.

There is also the Warhawk Blocks which allow an LS1/7 (tall deck) to be built to capacities up to 454ci. http://www.worldcastings.com/warhawklandsatworld.htm From an article at gmhightechperformance.com Bill

Gosh, I can't remember but I'm pretty sure that I had all pulleys except for the air con running.

I've just fitted a Dayco 7PK1605. I had to cut off one rib which I did with a brand new blade in my Stanley knife, stabbing the knife through the rib and dragging the belt through the knife holding the knife stationary. I believe that you could probably go with a 1580 (mm) belt. Cutting off a...
