Christ....what a beast. Power is good.....way more than too much power is . . .better

 

Nicely insane

 

Holy ruined underware Batman! You know you need to post vids of it when you get it finished, right?

 

Not worried about that stock block or the lack of 6 bolt heads?

If I were worried about anything, I would have left it stock

 

Any vids? i have to ask what was the cost for all of that? No One says much about the cost and I understand why but I still can ask..

 

You're running all that through a C5 trans and diff? Why not go C6Z?

 

I'm sure that is in my future.

 

No vids yet.


I don't want to add it up lol

 

Crazy Insane!!! You do all the work yourself?

 

Some of the work I did, but I mainly gave the work to a local shop to keep him busy during the winter season.

 

The iron LQ4 block is pretty hardy.

Something is going to go bad in the drive line with all them ponies.

You will break the differential. I would definitely get some safety loops for the axle shafts so they don't tear up the body too much when they snap.

 

I think the C6 Z06 rear cradle will bolt up to the frame but will set the wheels back about an inch and a half or so. You might end up needing the stronger C6 components in the future. Not sure.

 

Well thought out but why the 20's on the back????? with a 25 aspect ratio, you will never hook up that HP to the ground. I would have gone with 17 inch on the back and ditch the 14 " eradispeeds for some stock diameter rotors, and fatter tires. 40 or 50 aspect tires. at least that Hp could be spooled up in the sidewall.

Not criticizing a beautiful car. but just questioning the need for all the HP and choking it off at the rear tires.

Good luck shaking out the bugs.. look forward to a finished project.
well done.,

wow.. where has this car been? Show, and GO.... Nicely done sir!!

 

For street the 20s

For roll ons, at set of 18x12 C6 w/ drag radials

If I actually race it. I will go the LG drag spindle/15" route.

 

it will put the rear wheels a tad further back into the wheel wells but it isn't that drastic, realistically it's more like a quarter of an inch or so... whether you choose to run coilovers or c6 lcas also makes a difference... c5 lcas and coilovers will not put the wheels as far back as using c6 lcas with standard shocks from what I have seen on other cars... there are also 2 c6 cradle variants, one with 2 holes for each diff mount and one that has 4 holes per mount which allows the mount to be used in 2 different locations but I personally don't think the cradle differences matter because once the drivetrain is in the car there's only one way to put the mount, you have no choice... the only reason I can think of as to why gm manufactured that cradle with the added mounting points is that maybe that cradle fits another car once the extra holes are added and it would be cheaper to do it that way rather than building a completely different cradle but I really don't know... here are a couple of before and after pics of my car, it is lowered a tad more now than it was in these pics but it doesn't really change the relation of the tire to the rear bumper... my rear tires are advertised as almost 28" diameter and I have no problems with fitment or rubbing the fender liner, I did however have to remove the inner brake duct to prevent rubbing

stock drivetrain and lg gt2 coilovers



after tr6060 swap using stock c5 lcas and lg gt2 coilovers

 

excited to see how this turns out. My car has a similarly built, ~370ish lq4 and F1R. Wonder what mine would make...

Where did you get that volute?

 

Great looking car!!

Thanks for the share

 

Now THAT's an answer...hahah. Love it man.
