I think I seen the post on the blackhawk outdrive. It looked like she'd move. So after reading all night I think ill be running either the stock lq4 intake or maybe the fast if the budget allows. I need to keep the compression about where it is as they don't sell anything above 91 octane around here. I know the o2 may be a challenge but it will run far more efficiently with them than without. Are new lifters needed when swapping the cam? Arnt these roller lifters from the factory?

as long as their is no ware marks or pitting on the wheel of the lifters or cam you can reuse the lifters..

You might want to consider switching over to a carb set up, so you don't have to run a fuel pump, and return lines from the tank..and carbs are easy to tune and can make power..sorry I cant help you on a cam..just throwing my .02 cents out there on an intake..

This got got it working fine with Oem computer I believe http://www.classicglastron.com/phpbb...hp?f=34&t=5852 or you could go with a holey and let it tune it self

I forget what year it was but they switched to a returnless system. I have considered the carb system running the msd brain box.

That glasstron is sweet. I love his cooling system but I'd still need a pump since he has a jet boat. I didn't know pcm made an exhaust like that even set up for o2 sensors. Not as trick looking as headers but still a nice looking system.

if you run a 97 vette fuel filter it has fuel pressure regulator built in

sdg0080 10-27-2013 10:53 PM

yeah I have heard about the vette mod on several ls swap forum projects over on the ls forums. seem pretty sweet. I found a set of rearward headers for about a grand. I guess they are big over on the jet boat side of things. they make a set of wet headers for through transom applications. anyone know anything about them?

professor_speed 10-28-2013 07:52 AM

Yeah those are water injected not water jacketed, you probably don't want to run those under a hatch. these ones right? http://www.rewarderheaders.com/pages...%20header.html

sdg0080 10-28-2013 09:35 PM

Damn didn't see that... found them on cp performance. Thought they would work.... oh well. Lightning headers will work. Yeah not a big fan of bon fires out on my boat..
