    Under high G's the stock motor's sump can go dry, from what I have read. I don't have one in the garage to back that up but I have read it in a few places.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldnt that happen with most any cars...I think that's why some of the racecars use a dry sump system...

      Certainly but most "stock" cars cant pull the g's that an R34 can. The ones that can are all built for it, ie Porsche, Lotus, Ferrari, Corvette, etc. etc.

          I would love to have a G-body LS1. Have any of you guys seen the video of Dave's SS Camaro in Sioux Falls when it did the wheel stand on a 200 shot and smashed the block?

                    Piece of cake. We're doing a plug change here.

                        Put long tubes on the LT1 and get rid of the emissions and it is a lot easier 🙂

                          Yeah I have a friend that says this is the easier of the two ways to change spark plugs.

                          legacy image

                          I dunno looks like the LS1 is harder to work on then the L36

                                  Oh...well then, imagine how hard the rear driverside plug is, then multiply that by 10, and thats how hard it is with stock manifolds on. LT's it's a cake walk.

                                        Been there, done that on Camzaro's car when he used to live up here. It wasn't all that bad.
