Default Back in a LS-powered street car...

After a few years without a LS-powered street car (and a year or two before that where my LS-powered car wasn't really a street car, and rarely ran ) I finally have an LS in my life again. It's a '67 SS/RS Camaro with a LS2 and a T56:










Out cruising with a buddy's cammed LS1/4L60E C10 he is just finishing up:

Some of the Sand Rails I've been playing with the last few years:

SCU "Pro Bro" that was a stock-ish LS1 with a 4-speed PBS sequential transaxle but had a 13:1 454cui LS7 in it before the motor went and I sold the roller:




Extreme Performance "Double Throw Down" with a twin turbo LS1 and 4-speed sequential:




And the current car, I decided to give a 2-seater a try. It's a '14 Potter Productions PX2 that has a ~510HP LS1 and 4-speed sequential but we're putting the 454cui LS7 in it, knocked down to ~11:1 for 91 octane:

Thanks! But no track cars and no boats. At least this year...

Yeah, the LS2/T56 is a great combo in this car. It'll cruise 75-80 MPH with the AC on all day like a new car. It scoots pretty good too for only 360 RWHP.

Word! BTW I'm still running that throttle body you hooked me up with, it's just going in the black sand rail now.

Me too. I don't think it would be a color I would have looked for initially, but once I saw the car in person I was set on the color.

Thanks bro! Sort of an empty victory since I didn't build the car, but at least I know I made a pretty good buy.
