Re: All better...
Thanks guys.
I still can't believe that after all that work it is FINALLY running.
Sounds kinda sappy...but I am quite proud of myself. This was a first time project for me.

Re: All better...
OH MY GAWD! Lous, that is a beast beyond words. Your car rolled like two inches with that rev..... I need to change my shorts.
Where can I do some reading on the LQ9? And can I get a ride?

This isn't your everyday LQ9.
It is completely built. Forged rods, pistons, etc...
The LQ9 is a larger bore iron blocked version of the LS1.
Ride?? Sure. Anytime you are in Colorado.

Re: All better...
where'd you buy you engine? and did you assemble it yourself, or was it a crate engine?

Re: All better...
Texas Speed and Performance.
I didn't assemble the rotating assembly. I did put everything else together though.
It came as a shortblock.
