[QUOTE="RSbeast, post: 10251278, member: 110560"] So, do these cars grow some nuts with a blower or do they still feel doggish around town? I've had a centri 5 liter car but it was always quite torquey. Felt big blockish with the blower, very grunty for a 302; screamed up top. However it was a lighter car. I have a full weight vert with added and subtracted weight from the full MM setup. EVERYTHING on this car is tubular. It weighs 3860 with me in it and a hair under half a tank. 3620 w/o me. This weight + windy 4v = the not most fun experience around town. The car has an WMS velocity tube, o/r H pipe, super 44 catback, and 3:73s aside from a spec stg2 and a MSW handle on a pro 5.0 base. It's gone the 13.5's in my sig on near bald DRs with a 1.87 60'. That was in SUPER good air though. So it's not THE worst when it's twisted out but eh. Anyhow; I have a vortech t-trim with a AFM powerpipe and all polished charge piping (non intercooled). I'd really like to get some input on how this thing is going to run. I don't have the $ to forge the car right now; and truthfully not to even finish what I have for awhile with the job situation. Will it get out of it's own way without revving the piss out of it? I looked at a few dyno graphs but I can't seem to find any stock ones to compare it to. It seems like it's going to love the rpm under boost however. The car is basically a street toy that doesn't get open tracked as it should (cost prohibitive) and it makes a few trips down the 1320 a year. I guess 11's would be a 'goal' but mid 12s with boost will be fine before I forge it. What I'm asking is will I be disappointed with the weight and the way this car makes power? Should I maybe move on before I get in too deep? I was trying to replace my old 5.0 with an LS1 platform in either vette or ws6 form but I got fed up with crappy cars for alot of $ and I got mine for a fair price in near showroom condition underneath with an almost equal exterior/interior after a nice cut and buff. The car is gorgeous. My brother has an 2000 SS m6 car, his 2nd LS platform; I've owned an m6 lt1 so I've driven my fair share of LS cars to know how they feel nice and torquey around town. What's everyone's suggestions/predictions? I'm terminator weight looking at non terminator tq with the centri :( Still fun? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
