Default For the LS engine lovers

Thought maybe you LS guys would like this build. This one here in the article is a great piece, but they've took it even further now. New setup is the 4.5L whipple. On race fuel 1450hp. They also have a pump gas setup, and pump gas with water/meth setup they are playing with. Granted, not a "marine build", but, either way, cool build.

Don't worry, I'll put the brass freeze plugs in...

"engine is about 10.25:1. We overbuilt the engine – it’s capable of handling up to 30 pounds of boost"

I was involved with a local drag race shop building a 427 LS about a year ago. I sold them the 4L Whipple and helped get it built and tuned. It made just over 1000 hp on 93 octane. Never did a race gas tune. I wish we would have as I would have loved to see what it could do on some good gas. All in all, it was a cool piece that made great power.

I wish someone would talk gates into ditching that green color on their heavy duty belts.

One of my girlfriends is in sales at Gates. I'll have her put that in the suggestion box.
