Sounds like a real cammed v8 now. Not just an ls1 with some light mods.

Your car is god of all things god. Fastest NA/Street Legal award?

STATIONS! (i wonder if anyone will understand that one?)
anyways good vid, all you where missing was the fish! :icon16:

car sounds mean as hell, cant wait to see the dyno numbers. How long have you been working on the swap? last we spoke you where having cam issues.

Mr. Luos

I was having pushrod length issues.

I did the swap in a one car garage using basic tools. Had an issue here and there.
Took about 7 months total.
Oh yeah...winter slowed me down as well. Hard to get into the garage when it is 10 degrees out there.

sweet vid, that thing sounds mean as hell. cant wait to see the dyno numbers

Mr. Luos

04-18-2006, 08:43 PM

The numbers I get later this week will probably be a little low. Motor will have been warmed WAY up during tuning.

I will be getting better cooler motor numbers April 30th.
Anxious myself though.

Car sounds great. Were you at WOT for any of those runs by the camera? or was that light on the throttle?

Mr. Luos

04-18-2006, 09:32 PM

Some of the shots I just cruised by though to give an idea of how it sounds just driving around.
Another one was decel in 3rd gear.

I was never 100% WOT in the video. I did put the pedal all the way down though, just never stayed in it.

that was very impressive

massive props!

Mr. Luos

04-18-2006, 09:53 PM

Thanks for the compliments everyone!!

This might sound kinda stupid/sappy...but it feels good. It was such a long project that spanned 7 months. Seemed like I was in the garage whenever I could be. Of course...I really wasn't, but hey.
Finally nice to see it all together and running properly.

Which... is pretty fast. I'm impressed.
