With the new project under way i can say she has gone a little out of hand. The new set now sports a FMIC, injecters, dyno tuning,the cats are now gone .and upgraded fuel pump. Power numbers should be around 450 groundhorse's and 500 torque on low boost and maybe a little bit more at the track. Right now i am sporting a set of 275 proxes i might soon switch out to some good old 555r's. Any way what kind of power and breaking isues am i going to run into. My trany has been sound for its 100,000 life spand but i already have plans for when she finaly goes. But what other isues do you guys think i will run in to.

 

ur doing an STS kit on ur trans am correct? ur rear end is going to be the major problem, and your motor will go pop if u are still at the stock high compression and you try to run too much boost. other than that the tranny should be fine at 450rwhp.

 

Thanks for the input but this is on low boost. And i do mean low for a intercooled set up. The LS1 should hold up fine. My big problem i thinkand like yousaidis going to be with traction and the rear. Dont worry i am not going boost happy with this one and keeping the boost levels and tuning well on the safe side or at least till i can upgrade to my 402 .

Here is a question right now i am running nothing more then springs and upgraded sway bars on the proxe 275s. Traction has not been a isue in the past. Now with the new found power i am a little worried about my 60' times. I am thinking about swaping out to 555R's but dont want to put too much extra strain on the rear. Any input [>:]

I should have new pics up in the next 2 to 3 weeks of the finished product and the final numbers. WISH US LUCK.

 

i said low boost because the ls1 is 10.5:1 CR stock, thats really high, you can only hope to go for about 6-8 psi tops before it doesnt matter how u tune, things are going to blow.

 

The most she will ever see on the 346 will be no more then 7 psi at the track. To reduce strain on the street she will be turned down to around 5 psi.

 

I'd make a suggestion of going with the MT ET Street Radial, they get better traction than the Nittos. A drag radial isn't as hard on the rear end as a full slick is, just be careful when launching it, don't be supprised if you grenade the rear-end. Have a couple thousand sitting aside for a 9" when it happens

 

the MT radials are a good tire, but i would say only use them at the track becaus they tend to wear out fast. thats the only reason I went with nittos. lie SLVR said, if u go with a full slick u can expect that rear to turd out in under 3 runs [&:], unless u launch like a panzy on it, but if ur not going to limit the tires, u might as well go with a lesser tire like a drag radial
