Thanks for the update. I just bought a set of Forgelines used and was wondering what that bracket was for.

Ferraris have glass windshields just like every other production street car.

Lexan is not going to save any money over the long run. Just get the glass and be done with it.

You'll end up with a 4qt pan if you cut it down. I cut mine down, then had to add some in front of the sump and it ended up looking just like the Camaro pan. Now it's been skipped off the ground a...

Right on both accounts. I did not know that they changed the name on the LS1/2/6 manifolds too. I also didn't remember that you had a 4.125 crank in your build. Sorry about that.

The lsxr is for LS3 or LS7 heads so it won't work on LS1 heads.

It's not going to be easy/possible to get 700hp out of 346 cubic inches and still have any streetability without boost.

Touche, I didn't notice that you were in FL.



The seals are technically not compatible but people do it all the time. I think the bigger factor is the increased efficiency of the newer units.

50 degrees? Is that as cold as it gets? I get low 30s from my STS and I've seen 28 on another one. 50 is not going to cut it. Is your refrigerant full?

Yes, that's what I want to do. I did not think about compatibility issues. The Camaro system is R12 so no issues with that one. I hate the look of the compressor outboard of the head.

I've been looking at the Evaporator kit and the complete kit. Neither one states whether it comes with a compressor. Can someone fill me in here?

I used a Griffin too. I had it already and made mounts to make it work. It's about 3" shorter than what could fit, but it works fine so far.

Since the tach wire will be using very little power, I would think you...

Yes, it should read double. I don't know why your tach isn't working. Sometimes you have to add a "pull-up" wire in line with the tach signal. Search LS1tech for "pull up wire" and you should find...

I use HP tuners and Jesse uses EFIlive. For whatever reason EFIlive won't let you change the pulse per mile number down to 8000.

If you find someone with HP tuners he can change it for you.
