This thing is quite the experience just on the engine dyno.  Can’t wait to see how fast this thing rips on the track!

Damn.... what is it going into?

4th gen Camaro. It was a super clean car before and he’s gone full tilt drag car build on it now. He’s tossing a lot of lighter components on it as well.

This was when it was getting the fab work done.

M1 Methanol, it’s crazy how cool this thing runs.

I bet, scary fuel though.

Haha yeah, not quite as cancer inducing as Benzine or Toluene.

Less cancer, more blinding you through contact.

Hnnng!!! I’ll be in my rack...

That is one bad motor.  What block is he running? I didn't see it listed in the video but I recall reading stock GM blocks start lifting cylinder heads around 1000-1200 HP. But several aftermarket solutions have extra head bolts for more clamping force.

The invisible fire scares me most.

It’s an iron LSX block .  It’s got a lot of work done all around.  We have Kurt Urban working in the Raceshop so it’s cool getting to learn some LSx history, he’s been around them almost from the very beginning lol.

Hey I got a 4th gen it can go in...

Seriously though that's crazy. What are they aiming for quarter mile time?

I remember that was one of GMPPs big selling points for the LSX. Wasnt sure if it was a GMPP, Dart, World, or whatever. But that’s cool. My dad wants a motor for his project truck, I’ve been trying to talk him into a turbo LS build, but I think he’s going to go with a big block. Not that they aren’t cool, but it kills the engineer in me to buy a big dumb heacy iron boat anchor when an LS could make the same power more efficiently.

Awesome that Keith Urban is there. Soak up that knowledge!

I’m thinking it’s going to be 7s at the very least.  I’m not sure exactly how deep this one’s gonna go.

Again damn... 7s is crazy fast

Turbo LS’s sound nice, but not as nice as a big block with a big cam. Sorry I gotta side with your dad.

Oh I agree with you 100%, they sound great. I'm just more into LS. It doesn't have to be a turbo, either. But if it were my truck it would get a turbo. Or a supercharger.
