Definately let me know when you'll be in the area. Also, shh(burn), I never realized you were in VA. Where abouts are you located? I'll stop by and pay you a visit. I'll bring my digi too so i can take pics of your car for the board, since I'm assuming you just don't have access to a digital camera...

PS-self's Z28 could run you into the ground as well, and I don't think he's running 10's yet. (correct me if I'm wrong, I know you were close)

Sadley enough though, that's all in the past. Because of some budget...problems...I've since had to sell my mostly stock 96 Z28 AND part out my 95 Z28. The car is almost completely back to stock Fortunately though, after all of that was done, I came back into some money. I was contemplating a new car just for a change, but really don't want a payment hanging over me. So I'm just going to start the modding back up! Taking a different route this time though. No nitrous, no FI, just a straight up all motor mammoth, hehe. And depending when you guys are down, I may be well on my way with that goal. Do you have any clue when you guys will be down? I can meet you on your way to Harrisonburg btw. Or just go down there and meet you. It's only about 2 hours south of me. I know the JMU area well. I go to Virginia Tech and have to pass right through there everytime I go to or from tech. I'll PM you and sshh with my number a little later on, no prob.

Scrap the ls... get a b16, rev it to the stratosphere, and cram IT full of boost, crazy power, and at low revs it drives like an lx civic...
oh and rod/stroke ratio? 1.74:1 on the b16, definitely strong.

I wouldn't scrap the LS..I like the extra torque of the 1.8s. Thats why the Turbo and LS/Vtec questions have been raised. Plus, the LS tranny is really good for turbo's, and the LS bottom end is good for it as well. I just prefer the added Torque of a 1.8. It will drive much stronger than the b16 pre turbo, and thats a big thing for me; decent torque. Especially being surrounded by hills and such. Thats why I went a 1.8 over a 1.6 awhile ago. Of coruse, you are correct, the B16 does have a much more ideal rod-stroke ratio. I guess it's all a matter of trade-off's in the end.

hehe i was kiddin about the b16, but the matter of trade offs is shear truth, the best thing is to try and get a hold of the motor you want inside the car already.

I hate arguing with people, and I should just agree with you, but the LS bottom end cant take near the punishment a b16 bottom end can. The LS bottom has way to much stroke for its own good. And actually, the B18 is better NA because of its descent torque w/o FI.
Smaller discplacement turbo engines will always defeat large displacement NA engines cuz the small turbo has the torque, and the revs. And we all know that is what hp is. But anyhoo the reason the b18 is weaker than the b16 is because of the rod/stroke ratio. The B18 will buckle under significant boost unless you go forged in the belly. And even then, a forged b16 will run circles around a forged b18 in terms of strength. The b16 is the closest to geometric perfection.
