SLAMMER Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Brought FNBADAZ06 in for some warranty repairs on a transmission leak. After the repairs are completed, we're going to put it on the dyno to see if I picked up any newfound power from LPM's work. Any guesses ? Closest answer will get a six-pack of their favorite beverage I didn't know Dom Parinon came in handy 6 packs now. Good news. 550/535 hp/tq SLAMMER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNBADAZ06 Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 What kind of power are you currently making ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNBADAZ06 Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Well.....I had a pilot bearing that was pretty much siezed up. I guess that explains the pilot bearing and input shaft issue/replacement . That had to be worth .7989 RWHP. We shall see Next is to see if we can measure guide wear without pulling the heads. GM gave a procedure for this, so the boyz at LPM are going to give it a shot. Just take them off and send them to WCCH. You know you want to... Richard quoted me $1500-$1600 to do the Stage 2 on my LS3 heads. That includes all new stainless valves and double springs good to .660 lift. http://www.proheads.com/WCCH%20LS7.html If mine were to make it to WCCH, I would have the new Katech titanium one piece exhaust valves put in....don't want the extra added valvetrain weight with SS or the dual springs.

StevieG Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Wow thats a great price, might have to do that.... If you aren't going to do high boost, it's a good package. If you are going to run high boost(12-15psi+), I would get a thick deck head. With the Eforce I think youre limited to about 12psi with the long runners. Currently with smaller pulley, LG Superpros 1 7/8 and no cats, I'm maxing at around 7.5psi, can't see myself ever wanting to exceed 10psi. Just need to find a good cam, nothing agressive.

If I had the money that would be the way to do it. Along with light intake valves. The less mass in your valvetrain the better. It's real spendy for the good shiz though. I'm keeping my motor to less than 6800rpm, so I should be fine with stainless intake and exhaust. With the Eforce I think youre limited to about 12psi with the long runners. Currently with smaller pulley, LG Superpros 1 7/8 and no cats, I'm maxing at around 7.5psi, can't see myself ever wanting to exceed 10psi. Just need to find a good cam, nothing agressive. You will be fine with the stock heads ported. If you had your heads done before a cam(or just put a new cam in), you would need to pulley down more to keep the same boost pressure due to less restriction through the motor. If you don't already have an overdrive crank pulley, I would consider one of those to keep you from having to run a tiny blower pulley and slipping belts. It might also be worth talking to Jeremy Formato about porting your Eforce. I know he's been doing it on the stock ZR1 blowers and picking up about 40rwhp and 40rwtq with the porting of the blower inlet and the blower itself. He says he takes almost six pounds of material out of the ZR1 blower case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I have less than a clue about mods so I'll go with 515rwhp cause I like the way it rolls off the tongue(keyboard). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LastC3 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 p.s. - while I got tremendous wear out of the original clutch, I think LPM and Hal can attest, she was wearing a little thin on the disc material THIN .... the only thing making this hot rod moving forward were the rivets !!!! didn't see much wear on the brake pads tho ..?????? must be all go eh ?? I musta left too soon to miss Marco and Lisa ....???? Damn !!!! The new wheels are the bomb fer shr ....... can't wait to see it back on the road.

Two Fangs Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 As far as dyno numbers, without knowing the mods (and there are a few on here alluding to mods) I am going to abstain from guessing. Yes, I take my guesses that seriously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FNBADAZ06 Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 My guess is "More than me". Only because LPM pilledged parts from your new motor for my car before giving it back to you. j/k Your car sounded sweet when they fired it up for the first time the other day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNBADAZ06 Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 OK, then......back to our regularly scheduled programming. OK.......I'll spill the beans to calm down the mob At minimum, when I get the car back from LPM, the following things will have been performed, beyond the warranty repair work they executed : 1) Katech LS9X clutch assembly and remote bleeder 2) Akrapovic titanium x-pipe installed in place of my OEM ZR1 pipe 3) Billy Boat longtubes installed 4) Katech Torquer 110 cam, PSI 1511 beehive springs, and titanium retainers installed 5) FAST LSXR 102 intake and billet fuel rails installed 6) Nick Williams 102 throttle body installed 7) 65 lbs injectors installed 8) new OEM LS7 rockers with Comp trunion upgrade 9) Quantum spindle cooling kit installed 10) extra special NicD tunes.....both for 91 pump gas and E85 I'm also having LPM perform the measuring of the valve guides to determine if any attention needs to be performed there when they install the new springs. If attention is needed, head work might include a .030-.040 milling, CNC port job, and the new Katech one piece titanium exhaust valves. that part is uncertain at this time.

HOXXOH Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I think you just went to the head of the class, so I'm changing my guess to 570 HP or 615 if you do the heads and E85. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOTV8 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I like the format Tom. I'll guess 566, or 603 with teh heads/E85. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buccaneer Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Absolutely no idea what Victor has done other than what's been stated, so my guess is just a tad more than a CF since he may have used RP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNBADAZ06 Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 I think something approaching 550 rwhp might be obtainable.......I think 570 and above would be unrealistic without a more significant bump in compression. My goal is 530-550 at the wheels, and a 3000 lbs curb weight (minus driver)....any more power, or dropped weight, will be just icing on the cake for me. 500 ft/lbs at 3000 RPM, in a N/A form......that's what I want The 110 cam spec's in at 220 / 244 @ .050, .615 / .648 lift, 110 LSA .....certainly not considered a "big" cam for large displacement motors such as the LS7, but something middle of the road. Katech uses this grind (or the 116 LSA version) in ALL their LS7 engine packages. My LS7 setup would be the equivalent of the Street Attack package (if I mill the heads), with the addition of the NW102 tb and E85 tuning. The Street Attack LS7, with 11.4:1 compression and 93 pump gas, puts out approximately 630 BHP and 565 torque, as measured on the Superflow engine dyno. THe Track Attack is the same motor, but with a 12.0:1 compression, and is rated at 660/570. http://www.katechengines.com/performance/engines/engine-packages/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
