Default Da Vette so far!

Vetteer's....

Resolved the issue with my alignment, now to work on the oil sending unit!

I'm looking at going the FI route eventually.. I see a lot of confliting views on how much / how well the drive train handles 600 to 700 WHP.

I could toss the A&A supercharger on first, and fix things as they break... or replace the drive train first...

Looking at these upcoming mods.

A&A Super charger or Root style (magnuson/whipple)

(These would be done together, before, or after, the Supercharger)
RPM Stage 3 Diff
RPM Stage 5 Transmission
Drive Shaft Couplings
Hinson Engine Mounts
Transmission Strut Brace
Monster Clutch


I'd rather not drop the transmission / clutch / diff multiple times. I'll have a shop do it, if I can find one locally I like.


Current engine mods.
Comp Camp 224/224 .581/.581 114
Manley H beam forged rods
JE forged pistons
Cloyes Timing Chain
LS1 Lingenfelter oil pump
Lingenfelter Short Block LS1
K&N Air Intake
FAST 90/92MM Intake Manifold
Longtube Headers / X Pipe / Hi Flow Cats
Billyboat Exhaust Axle back
Ticks Adjustable Master Cylinder
DeWitts Radiator w/ Oil cooler
Oil Catch Can
Textralia Clutch





I don't know if the heads are aftermarket or not.


My other random mods..

Audio: Headunit, Amp, Sub, Mid-Speakers
Headlights (on their way!)
Window Tint (atleast 10 hp gain, 100 if the leo are estimating )
Optima Battery
Stance SS/GR2+ Coilovers (On their way!) / currently have bilstien shocks
CCW 505A's 18x9.5F/ 19x11R
Hurst Short Shifter
Sway Bars (Hotchkis I believe)


See ya'll on the road...

I tried to figure out if the heads are aftermarket or not... I see the number #853...
No idea if they its ported or anything like that... /shrug.

Looks like I have the Dynatech headers+Cat+xpipe combo.


Ordering new intake gaskets... so I can change my oil sending unit...
