Black LSX
I had a previous thread going in the Projects group about my LQ9 build and didnt know the avenue i wanted to take until lately. I recently did a LS3 build on my LQ9 and finished it up. Below is a link to the LS3 build which i am going to update with everything you need to know on doing a Iron block LS3 (its not hard). As for this thread it is currently what I have built and what I want to do in the future for my LSX engine build. I decided not to put boost to it, going to leave it as is and move on to another project that I have. Coming up will be 66 bronco which is a family heirloom (or however it is spelled). Thanks for all the suggestions and comments on my last thread hope this one goes well also.

smoked
Smoked my tail and brake lights. I didnt want to go completely black, just a light tint so that i dont get pulled over. Not professionally quality but work for me for now.

dyno results
So i got my results back, I am not too sure about my tuner and his work. He is mainly a vette, camaro, mustang guy. But he is only one in town. I gained no torque barely from my upgrade my HP is so so. I would like input from others on if this is correct stats for my setup or if i need a retune or different parts. Thanks!

thats STD and smoothing zero, youre real numbers are about 20 lower and that high torque isnt correct thats a kick down from the trans
your mods should net higher numbers for sure

Atomic - it was a basic LQ9, now if you look at my first post it has all ls3 heads, intake, new cam setup etc.
george - yea for what i did i was thinking it should net higher, my transmission is worn out pretty bad and needs upgraded and also need bigger gears in the back. I would think those MAY help, not sure. If you know of anything i can correct let me know, texas speed may have done me wrong IDK.

Maybe you need to come and give my tuner some pointers Lola.I would like to be close to that Hp but would have to be led in the right direction.

thats a pretty damn big stall and gears. Being that I paid for a stall already i will focus on my gears next and see how that helps. I will re-post when I start it, still paying off engine upgrade now. Thanks George.
