All better...

Sorry for the repeat thread...but I think it is worth it.

Found the misfire.
It was a HUGE problem.
Pushrods = Too long. :banghead:

Idle is set at 1150 RPM's. WAY too high. When I get a chance...I will drop it to about 1000 RPM's.

Whoops....I was hanging the valves using the pushrods on the right....
Bet that created a problem. :lol:

how high do you think you will shift?

or set the limiter..

That thing sounds Mean.

Can't wait to see the other vids.

Limiter is going to be at 6750.
Shifting should be right at 6650.

Nice......

damn thats nice... do you know what that makes me want to do? put a 396 lt1 in my car...

that is awesome...congrats on getting it running again!

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.

very nice, big difference on what the right size pushrods will make

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. :evillol:

Awesome. I'd still rather go LS7 myself.

where'd you buy you engine? and did you assemble it yourself, or was it a crate engine?

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

Hmm, I'l be in colorado springs over the first weekend of april, I might have to make a detour.... hmmm.

Awesome. I'd still rather go LS7 myself.
hell for 16 g US you could build a hell of a lt1 os a ls1

^ Very true.

yeah the ls7 is nice but ehhhh....if your looking for raw power you can get a lot more somewhere else.
