As per text, pick up a used LQ9 for cheap, throw it in.

Or, cut your losses and run the LT1 car as is.

LQ4 with boost. Go.

LS1ow 02-13-2012 09:48 AM

have thought about boost, but doesnt seem like a good option. the heads i have are milled, and high comp = nono for boost

Jersey Mike 02-13-2012 09:49 AM

Sell heads, buy heads, be ahead, get head. problem?

LS1ow 02-13-2012 09:50 AM

approve of everything i just read.

i was debating on LQ9... seems to be a pretty cheap option, and im not to concerened about the wieght increase, since its not a race car.

coolmanvette75 02-13-2012 09:55 AM

Lq9, throw your heads and intake on, nice cam. That would be a nice set up...

sweetbmxrider 02-13-2012 09:57 AM

Jersey Mike 02-13-2012 09:59 AM

yes. what is almost 100% going to happen, is drive the LT1 car the way it is, and slowly throw greenbacks towards a motor build, and when the the motor is done, swap it. im not in a rush to get the LS in it.

Jersey Mike 02-13-2012 10:24 AM

Ironic that out of the 4 cars you own, the LT1 car is the only one that's working.
