So its about time I got off my *** and went FI, I sold off some NA/Nitrous parts and ordered myself an ECS kit. Matt @ FSP hooked me up and I am getting a ECS 1500 kit in matte black

Here is a break down of my plans, aiming for spring to be completed (staying NA rest of summer until the snow falls)

• ECS supercharger
• ECS meth kit
• LPE pump (255 IIRC)
• Martin @ Tick spec'd cam to replace my current cam
• Already have AI ported heads with 65cc chambers
• Head studs
• Would like to ceramic coat my headers black and cut off air provisions
• Racetronix hot wire kit (http://www.racetronix.biz/itemdesc.a...WH-007&eq=&Tp=) with boost a pump connector (http://www.racetronix.biz/itemdesc.asp?ic=PBIC-001&Tp=)

Then I guess I'll powder coat my valve covers and coil brackets to match the blower for ***** n giggles.

Already have a built trans, hardened output shafts, mantic twin.

Poor mans drag pack (z06 17" with hoosiers and M&H runners on GTO spares) for track and R888's for street.

Just waiting on that bad boy to ship and I'll post some pictures, pumped to say the least

Awesome man. You are gonna love it. ECS makes a great kit. Winter builds are the best.

Congrats and thanks!

Thanks Guys! Now the question is whats the ideal head gasket to run if I wanted to hang out around 650rwhp?

LS9 Headgasket for me at 800+

I thought that would be the route but they work with the stock 5.7 size ? (sorry don't know your motor specs)

I will have to measure pushrod length after install, I have the tool but never trusted my last results. Time to learn ...

668rwhp stock head gaskets...

I followed your build, very nice Your stock gaskets composite or MLS? I put the composite (IIRC that is what they are called?) in by accident when I should have used MLS a few years ago.

Thanks it was fun wish I could do it again just because..As far as the HG honestly I don't know never pulled the heads off or looked, I let you know after the motor goes kaboom

Stock head gasket....

Matt @ FSP

Sweeeeeet.

I got the drag pack a few years back, pieced it together. GTO fronts and then got the 17's and added tires.

1500 equals a T trim and should keep me happy for a little while lol

Thanks for the laugh, although I hope that doesn't happen to you (unless of course, you're looking for an excuse for bigger, better, faster....)

In for your build and results!

Thanks,Matt

From what I've been told it's bigger and more comparable to a D1sc Procharger. I'm sure someone will chime in.

More PSI than my stock short block can handle no doubt. Once my "base" FI build is done and used thoroughly I will save to forge the internals but that is a while off. Still need to collect parts for this build, hope my kit ships from ECS soon



I would really like to attend a 1/2 mile or full mile event after this setup is complete.
