ProAm anyway. I didn't do that well in round 1 and round 2 was a 0 so I wont be competing in rounds 3 and 4. I'll finish out the Sonoma series where I am leading in points and I will do a bunch of fun events before I tear the car down in November.

You're a beast. That blows, you going to re-weld it or get another?

You might be surprised what it adds up to when you part stuff out. It would be a start anyways.
Sucks about the broken tabs. That's the first time I've seen that. I was like "can that even happen?!?" If it weren't for bad luck, we'd have no luck sometimes.

Depending on the 8cyl you want/choose, you can get away with paying very little to actually making money. Any of the aluminum GM blocks will obviously be a bit more expensive, albeit a smarter choice IMO. You can get swap kits for cheap or make your own for even cheaper.

You said it. You have to be quick. Even LS2 isn't that fast, I keep up with those guys in my SR. If I'm going to do it I don't want to be just a little faster, I want to be like crazy fast. Decisions decisions.

Testing The New GM L92 Cylinder Heads - Car Craft Magazine
Do it. They flow better than my aftermarket heads and are half the cost. |

I do see myself going with an LS in the future, as Ive always been a Chevy guy and it seems like the logical choice. But I do understand what you mean about making the choice. Its got to be one of the hardest things to do when it comes to your own car lol.

So I know you like the simplicity of the big cube LSx's, but I think a turbo VQ35 is the ultimate engine as far as weight and power delivery/capability.
You could be super rad and do turbo VH as well. But I understand the draw of the LS.

What are the good pro-am guys there running horsepower wise? It's kind of silly if the pro-am level becomes a horsepower race as well. So much for budget friendly competition. Pro-am should have like a 400hp horsepower cap. Push people to be better drivers instead of turning to more hp so they can out run their competition.

Decisions like this is why I don't ever want to do competitive drifting.
Turbo VQ35 is soooo right, but it isn't gonna be a swap. The 350z is gonna blow up once prices go below 8-10k and people realize it is more expensive to swap the motor out of the Z than it is to build it in the Z.

I don't know enough about these motors yet. I've got a lot of research to do before making any kind of decision on a swap. I'm still just taking it 1 event at a time. I've got Sonoma Drift series Round 3 this weekend. Money is on the line for that one. $3,000 cash if I win the series.

Lol I love the L92 head article link from 4 years ago. We've been around the block on all budgets... Matt, if you seriously want to talk budget vs benefit, give me a ring.
Troll! When YOU want to talk about your car, you should call me too bruh.

Did I leave ya hangin? My bad! I should have been more specific, the lol part wasn't that you posted it, but that it was written when L92 heads were "new". Now all the best heads are LS3-based / cathedral port.
