Re: LG Motorsports 418 Solid Roller is in (rfgoss1)
Nice numbers,What rpm does it make peak HP and TQ?.I think the LS6 intake is the restriction here,Cartek talked me out of going with a solid roller set up for now,due to the lack of an intake that can keep up with the high rpm capability of a solid roller,they didn't feel there was a need to spin the motor to 7000rpm's with a restrictive intake.Cartek is doing some R&D for a custom short runner intake,when it comes out I'll change to a solid roller cam and C5R heads and shoot for 575 RWHP,for now I'm happy with my 523RWHP hydraulic roller set up.Good Luck with it,I hope you didn't bend any valves on your missed shift,the loss of power doesn't sound good.

What was the price on something like that!!!I was thinking of going to the same size and a solid roller !!Also if you want to work a deal on the 3.73 I can send you some 3.42's and some $$$$$.

Here is the graph, I will post a cleaner one as soon as I can:
There is more power in it, this was with full exhaust and no tuning.

Yes I will spray it once we get the Racetronix installed. It will like the spray but I don't know if I can shift fast enough. This thing revs so fast now its scary.

:cheers: on what looks to be a real bad as ss engine and mid to high 10 second naturally aspirated Z06! :cheers: There is no beating a naturally aspirated solid roller LS1 big cube stroker imho! I assume that this block is a resleeved aluminum LS6 block or is it an iron block?
Enjoy and be safe! :smash:

I drove the car and was startled by the raw power even after already owning a 600+ RWHP twin turbo car.
I will tune the car for 650RWHP on the spray and with practice Randy will join the Elite in the 9's at 145MPH. :yesnod:

Re: LG Motorsports 418 Solid Roller is in (Superj)
Thanks everybody,
And thanks to Randy for giving us the opportunity to build him a great engine. Randy has never gone short on anything that we do with his car. As a Tuner, we can only hope for customers to give us the jobs that make us look this good.
Thanks Again,

Re: LG Motorsports 418 Solid Roller is in (LG Motorsports)
Very nice numbers, must be incredably fun to drive. :cool: One question about the solid roller setup, how often does it need to be adjusted to keep everything running right?
Hope your motor is okay after the missed shift, my car is at Cartek right now for that same reason.
Enjoy it! :cheers:
