Nice job Norm, congratulations and look forward to it going faster in better weather and when it's a little lighter! I forget, you have an EWP?

No EWP.. I'm hoping a company will want me to run one and send it to me
No underdrive pully
for now full stock interior including lloyds mats..lol
very little porting on the heads by me
very little porting on the stock intake by me
the reason I state by me is because that is not what I do for a living so I know it would be better with a professional job.
The headers are made by VARARAM and are 1-7/8 primaries
the Yank ss4000 leaves like a ****(it went 1.42-60 bone stock motor)

the entire suspension is stock except the front sway bar is off(it weighed 12.9 pounds)
stock axles, diff etc
The car looks like it came from the factory with the auto in it thanks to RPM transmission's awesome work.

What exactly did you do to the intake? Mine's an ls3 and I'm very undecided on porting it due to the different variances ans gains I've seen. I rather just do a touch up than a full port job.
Once again, you have a very impressive combo!

The ls7 intake looks remarkably good. I smoother the inlet and radiused every corner as well as removing all the mold lines in the runners.. Hard to say what it might have gained because I dont have a way to compare it. I ported my ls3 intake on my ls2 car and it went from 10.58 to 10.51 with only that mod. I spent about 1-1/2 hours on the ls3 intake.





I was out at the RPM Transmission sponsored track day at muncie today and had traction problems all day I had 6 runs from 137.02 to 137.58 mph and the DA was an actual measured 2800 when I ran a 9.96@137.4 (and I spun on that run as well.. 1.37-60')
I think it could have easily went 9.89 in the horrible air we had today!!!!

I'm not sure.
I have gto skinnies on front and lighter front brakes and removed front sway bar... So far that is the only lightening that has been done. I will pull the pass seat and put a race seat on drivers side and swap out a few things when I go to MIR. I will not remove AC or any big items like that. Not sure what it weighs now but it will be 130 lighter at MIR. For the record I weigh 175 plus a helmet
