Default Im back ....WOHOOOO!!!!

I sold my 408 stroker / supercharged vette a few months ago and I just bought the Cleanest 99 FRC BLACK

here's the dilema
I want this car to b as fast as the other one but more reliable (old car ran a 10.80 @ 137 mph) but it was always in the shop
I thought the best way to make it fast and reliable at the same time would be to stay all motor, I would like to know what combos you guys would recommend that are proven to be fast and reliable.
a 500 rwhp motor would B Nice ....who is the baddest at building motors? thanks you


Nice to b back

Contact Dave at Canadian performance. Builds super strong engines and is one of the pioneers of the LS engine. Easy to deal with and 500 rear wheel is commonplace for him. Prices are great to. I believe it is cdnperf.com Surprised you car was in the shop all the time. Was it drivetrain related or engine. Daves customers with forced induction have great combos that are really reliable. They are in the shop for broken drivetrain parts then again he also has an excellent tuner which helps the engine side of things.

Also consider an ls3 transplant, with a cam etc that will give close to 480-500rwhp.

You know how to get ahold of me, I would be happy to put together an NA setup for you.

I have done some LS2 based stuff and working on an L92 setup now.

I would do a nice and reliable 454ci LSX. You dont have to go crazy on heads, just do a mild set of TFS 245cc heads. You would be over 600rwhp without any adder.

You will have a TON of room to grow, an unbelieveable reliability factor, and I't wont cost that much.

After seeing how well LME (Late Model Engines) built my motor, I dont know if there would be anyone else I would go to..
