Sorry I missed it, but how big is the new engine?

I've got a LS1 383 with heads, big cam and fast manifold + throttle body and the 42lb injectors are maxed out. Just asking in case your going bigger.

Excellent choice with the manifold. If I were to go through the bonnet that manifold would be the one.

Yea bookme it's only a 383 big heads and big cam. I will have to put bigger injectors in it when the nos goes on anyways. Yea the manifold is the new holly one they just bought out mid rise one. Should have good throttle response.

I've got a t400 in mine as well. 4500 stall with 4.11 gears.
Car absolutely flies lol.
Only just got it back yesterday.

Having some oil overheating problems ATM I think (according to my oil temp gauge)
PCV problems yesterday. Hopefully rectified that today. But it got pretty hot today after a short drive.

What are you doing for your PCV system and cooling system? Hoping the standard VY ls1 radiator on mine can hold up.

Not to sure about the pcv setup yet. Get a desert cooler or pwr cooler. Hopefully mine don't have any heating issues. I put 2000kms on it when running it in with out and issues so hopefully it's all good.
