    LS1 vs 302H.O.

    Not jealousy. I like the LS1 motor. It's good stuff. It's just that it doesn't make sense to compare it to 5.0. Not in the same ball park. Like everyone else said. It takes a LOT just to keep up.

    LS1 vs 302H.O.

    Obviously, when STOCK vs. STOCK it is no contest... But why should GM owner's be proud when there 350ci engines of 2002 are beating 302ci engines of 93 and WAY earlier. The LS1 is 16% larger in displacement. The STOCK horsepower is 35% more. It's like one of us being proud of beating a...

    Hydraulic, Solid and Roller...

    Yes I searched but found nothing that helped. I want to know the difference between each. My motor combo will be spinning a max of roughly 6200rpms. I read that solid is that way to go for HIGH revving engines and needs adjustments a few times a year. Someone PLEASE explain. BTW, here's...

    STROKER INSTALL WRITEUP???

    Does anybody know of a write-up or website that walks through a stroker build??? I'm doing 460 > 557 in my garage and just wanted to know EVERYTHING I can just to see if I'm getting in over my head. The weakest link for power in the BBFs is the internals and heads so I figure first things...

    Gearing a BBF,C4,28" tire combo...

    ok, NOT street car... And what kind of springs are gonna take care of it??? Eibach drags are the tallest I've ever seen and a bitch to put in. I've got almost 5 inches between the tire and wheel well. Your still making this too difficult... 3rd gear (1:1) at 5k with 28" tire needs a gear that...

    Gearing a BBF,C4,28" tire combo...

    Excuse for saying this, but try not to come off as an ass next time and I'd listen. And I'm actually use ported doves. I'm just trying to find a good gear to match what I'm going for. The reason I just say a BIG cam is because I don't know what I'm getting yet, is that a problem? Trust me, the...

    Gearing a BBF,C4,28" tire combo...

    Need to know REAR gearing... Got my 460 and plan on N/A power. It's getting backed by a C4 (not c6) <2.46, 1.46, 1.00> Going with 28" Slicks at all times. Plan on revving not much higher than 5k. Going for Dove heads, big cam, Torker II intake. So with a gutted HCI 460+C4 what gear...

    Going big... 460 big.

    Damnit I got outbid. Now to 400 :( Anyway, I found a bellhousing to go BBF to C4 so I can use the "Redneck Performance" C4. This guy on ebay sells race ready C4s from the torque converter to tail shaft with trans brake, reverse full manual valve body, the works. Not bad for $900
