Re: To Boost, or swap

SO my motor is done for the year and I thought I was all set to go get another one when my Dad stps me the other day and says, why not just sell all your parts and swap a LS1?

Its a sexy thought, I mean I could throw a cam and heads on the motor right away, and build an N20 Motor.

I dont know, advice please.

I thought about this for years and finally decided to do the v6. My reason - better balance for autox and something sexier for the car shows. Price wise, I figured it to be about the same - not cheap.

Re: To Boost, or swap

If your goal is only to go fast, do the LS1. If you want to be unique and still quick, do the turbo v6. At first all I wanted was to go fast, so I was going to get an LS1. Later I decided that I want to keep my car around so I'm just going to boost the v6.

oooooh no, either way this car will be 12 sec fast. The wiring would really be the major drawback overall with swapping an LS1

Re: To Boost, or swap

go spend time on a v8 site for a week, you'd die to comeback here. all v8 sites are full of a$$holes and people who think thier car is better than everyone elses. hence why i am still here. :)

i only post on ls1tech if i need an answer to something i cant figure out. other than that i have no urge to post there and become a full blown douchebag.

Roger,

there are some there but some here, hint hint. At tech you might get a little jostled if you're running 13's or slower, ;) but there is 10000 less ignorant noobs there trying to give you advice, that's a big problem with this site.

I'd say swap or put a junkyard 6er in there and sell it. There is nothing you can do to a V6 to match a H/C/N20 LS1 ;)

btw, can I join team douchebag

I meant that our cars have a lower ceiling than the v8's, that it's possible to get more hp and lower times with a v8. I don't doubt that your car will be fast either way. :)

Re: To Boost, or swap

screw the swap, go buy an LS1 car. The swap, doing it right, is too expensive compaired to just buying one.

HUH? Please explain.

I wanna be as fast as my $$ allows me
I dont really care about having a sleeper v6, beating stock and bolton v8s (sorry guys, its just too much $$)
I just see an LS1 as more economically fast :)

I too will be on team Douschebag

screw the swap, go buy an LS1 car. The swap, doing it right, is too expensive compaired to just buying one.

I totally agree, but by the time I do my swap I really hope to come out on top by finding a good deal

What would Lt1tech do if I asked for advice there? :)

Oh and Slow6, you have to have a V8 fbody first to be on the V8 douchebag team.

why? my cars faster than Everybodys!
They may be all stuck up and think theirs is faster than everybody elses but the non-n00bs are gear heads and are a VERY good wealth of knowledge on cars. Very technical guys that know their stuff
You can find more Experience & Knowledge on Ls1tech.com > camarov6.com

welcome to the internet, where everyone is a mechanic and has a 10 second car.

seriously most forums are like that, have to wade throught some **** to find the golden info.

also anyone can have a ls1, only a few have a turboed 3.8 fbody.
