Ted and I made the long haul to Minnesota over the weekend to pick it up. We decided against the clutch and went with the automatic since the only person capable of tuning a clutch that I know of is in Maryland, too far to drive:D The current mill will be removed and replace with a DLS Engine 427 LSX block, Rossler TH 210 Trans and a proven Neal Chance Converter. The turbo set up is coming from Mike at Full Throttle...thanks for the hot tips Mike.:D

Dave,

Sweet ride..........when all is said and done what kind of times do you expect out of it?

If it's not too much trouble Dave could you give us a full breakdown of the buildup and with videos when done. Good starting point with these pics tho.

Best of luck and you HAVE to keep us posted EVERY step of the way.

I would think 8's are safe goal with a 427 cube V8 since Ted was able to bust off a 8.50 on his first outing with his DLS Engine 274 cube V6.


I will have the boys at Komer Racecars keep you posted on the progress.

>>> Sounds great Dave..........if Ted can rip off 8.50s in his first outing you should have no problem.

Keep us ALL posted.
 
Wow that is a beautiful GTO Dave, really like that color!!! Sounds like a pretty badass project, can't go wrong with the LSX motors as they are making some serious power with various turbo combinations.:cool:

Thanks Steve, I am impressed by the 400 hp and 400 tq right out of the box. There is quite a bit out there for the LSX, should be fun!:eek:
 
Pretty soon I will be the only guy on here with out a LSX Block!!!
Make sure you do a solid axle conversion and save yourself some heartache.
Sounds like fun, good luck.
 
I think I see a dandelion in your lawn.....nevermind, it was just a shadow! Nice GTO, I still would have bought the stick!
 
427, 274, I see the similarity, must be something in those numbers. :rolleyes:

Dave, I think I see an oil spot under the car, typical BOP car! :eek:

BillIe, dandelion, you crack me up!!

Art.

It's a good thing you don't have any fences in your picture. Maybe some pics of the garage might be in order Dave. I see you FINALLY got a cabinet guy out there.

I still think it is a shame you are cutting up a brand new car with the cage setup. I wish I had your $$$.. :eek:
 
I flew to St.Louis Monday and drove mine home. Getting the twin turbo kit, L92 heads L76 intake, and a Revolution LSX tubo cam. I will have DLS do me a stock block with K1 crank and rods + diamond pistons when we find the limit of the stock stuff. The turbo kit with 60 Lb injectors, our fuel system and pump gas has made 600RWHP and 625 FT/LBS on the stock motor. Bone stock my SRT-8 wil eat this car for lunch but after the turbos......

Dave your personal plate for the car is available

Should be fun to go cruising together

Mike
