^LMAO.

I'll be surprised if you did the same motor on E85 and not be close to 450-470rwhp.

You will love it either way you go.

Honestly, I think you should get slicks and put a chute on it while your at it.

Also make sure to get a racing suit and bring it to the track but never race it :rollinglaugh:

Any idea how bad the engine is? It would be awesome if new pistons/heads and a rebuild would be all it needed! Nice pickup Peter, good luck with it!

2500 horsepower, then hit up the guys from street outlawz and have them come up for racing
awesome dude

I can definitely be that one guy that talks a bunch of shit before the race, even though I don't own a car that would even catch the Vette's tail lights!

Those LS's are badass. I have an older coworker with a cam and longtubes 2003 5.7 and it makes about 430whp at Doug Rippies. I've driven it, fun car with no headaches.

A local 335i just hit 100k miles and is about to shoot for 700whp, it might enough.

The previous owner had it at a Chevy dealer to get diagnosed before I went to look at it. They took both valve covers off, drivers side a valve dropped and they said the motor doesnt budge by hand. They also said the block is cracked but im not sure if thats true.

Will know more once I start dissecting in a few weeks. Would be nice if the block was okay! But im betting on a new shortblock and at least one new head.
