e30 LS

Are you still running the weaves or will you be going with something meatier to get all of those ponies to the asphalt? 

I'm not sure what I am going to do. For now I'm sticking with the style 5 weaves and 205/45/16 BFGoodrich Sport Comp 2's. I would like to get some drag radials though eventually. To be honest the gearing seems a little high right now and In a straight line it breaks loose shifting into second at 50 but quickly grips and powers through.

Once I source a 4.10 LSD things may change...

I would like to try auto x with Kaiser and want to hit the strip near me as well.

Well, looks like it goes just as fast as your M20 on 18psi, with more low end and not as high-strung. 

 

LS1 is actually pretty soft down low with a flat tq curve.  That's why it's doesn't spin the tires at 20mph in a 1st gear roll on.  Any cam and it'll become a top end motor.

I run a 373LSD in mine with a much taller tire (255/40/17) and more power.  410LSD would work well for your setup.  GLD for the 1/4 mile?

Rock falls raceway, what setup do you have?
