[LS1] stroked or camed?

[DARK SIDE]

to many things to pick lol, you think the gear box would handle the 270rwkw's or so you get from a cam then?

Cheers

keep the box cool and it will be fine.

Dark Side, maybe go for a ride in a few different combos and see what u like. U might even like the single turbo route for 8g drive in drive out thereabouts.

Ive seen the box in yours handle 290 and be fine, but ive seen them with 250 and let go. 270 will be fairly safe i think. Give brad a call and he will sought you out forsure 8250 2233. he worksvery long hours so you can call whenever

 

[DARK SIDE]

Mmm I’m really not a fan of turbo, they just have the vibe that they are compensating for something lol. But seriously they are not that street friendly and I cant see us getting a track here anytime soon. I would proffer to get her blown. But I think for now I will just save for the cam.

Cheers

not street firendly? they are quiet, smooth, work very well with stock stally, **** loads more power than a cammed ls1, and average much better fuel economy than bolt on, and are a shoe in for 11 sec 1/4s with your full weight stato.

Cammed ls1's are grumpy, loud, **** on fuel a pig on the street with a decent sized cam and will cost you around the same money as an entry FI kit when done properly.

I am just not a fan of the turbo, although you do put forward a convincing case. I just want to know at the end of the day that I get my power from ci I guess. Besides after hearing Steffens cluby I love the sound of the cam.

 

[SIG-054]

i love the sound from my cammed ls1 aswell.. But i was only answering your initial post with what u wanted eg low to midrange power andgood fuel economy.

Being an auto, u can only really go a small cam (eg 220/220) to work with your stock convertor unless u want to spend an extra 1500ish on a decent torque converter, but there goes your economy.

Cam will be so loud on your car!

and once you've driven your cammed ls1 for awhile, you'l wish you went straight to boost hehe but atleast you'l still have some lump since the cam is in there
