Damn nice numbers! How much boost?
I would think to make those on a basically stock LS1 you would need 11-12psi

Ive been shifting at 6700-6800 on my stock bottom end/stock head LS1 for years....with ECS blower cam

My ECS is dead by 6000. Did you get the big cam or small blower cam?

You are right where you need to be. Shift point 6200-6400 and rev limit 6500-6600.

Personally I wouldn't take the stock motor past 6400. It'll live a lot longer that way. Your springs are not the greatest. The rockers while some say are good to 7000 are really better off 6400-6600. Your pushrods are not hardened.

Thanks for the advice! Not really looking to push it, final tune is not even done, need this winter to end. Really looking forward to getting the car on the road. I can say this, had it around the block the other day for a few miles and it drives just like stock, idle is smooth and no surging at all. Guess all that will change when I can push past 2500 rpms in a few months.

Thanks to everyone for the positive comments,



Darion

very nice results

I would add headers and if you wanted a little more rpm/power some valve springs.
