wow........ thanks gary, now i wont sleep
all the granny speed stuff will be here next week sometime
Gary is doing some wiring and helping jason paint it all up to perfection like always......... hoooray, ........thanks you two
andy, what do suggest being my best intake choice be then?? some sort of aftermarket composite or a stock ls1/ls6/ls2 manifold??................ I want something clean/simple
That is not your typical 1.32 s400 either, it is a smaller turbine and tighter housing, you prolly realized that though........... You still think it would be a lag monster???????? I can't go smaller than what the rotary had

So is Zac ditching the haltech?Yeah....... I wanted to keep the electronic tranny and all the options HP tuners gives you in controlling that whole system
Plus my E8 only has 4 ignition and 4 injector channels..... so i would of had to batch fire some injectors on the TB and waste fire the spark to get'r to work............ or get the E11 which has like 1000 outputs lol

Why not reuse your 42? You got it back didn't you?

i commend you for the LS swap... I think there is going to be more than one non-GM LS car looming around fargo, FYI!. The FAST intake is the best, although they are spendy (FAST 90mm / 90 mm t-body). Weiand has a newer composite intake as well that is better than the FAST and only $550ish, but I am not sure if it is production, yet. TPIS make a LS6 with a modifed 90 inlet that works just as good as the FAST as well. if you got to TPIS.com they have there dyno comparison. The prof products isn't a bad piece, but they heat soak terribly (really thick alum) they get to the point you can't even put your hand on them (especially forced induction). I'm sure that turbo will spool, but it may be pretty late, not sure. Good luck though, I have seen quite a few of those swaps personally and they are clean and lotsa options for parts later... If you change from the truck intake you will need to change accessory brackets and crank pulley, I BELIEVE. just an warning.

Cool stuff, will be interesting to see it come together.
Lag monster? I would have thought that with the relatively big cube motor it should spool that pea shooter pretty well? Faul's gonna be spooling a S480 with a 1.32 a/r T6 with his little 183 cid. There is a pic of his setup in the dictionary under the definition for lag.
