Brian Hinson is working with the guys from UPREV(on my recommendation) to ensure EVERY function will be retained. When I decided to do the swap retaining the factory gauges and functions was of a top priority. Guys remember that this swap is the first of its kind and the car was finihsed and rushed to its SEMA debut. There is still some trial and error and last minute this that were not completed in order to meet my SEMA deadline. The car will be going back to brian for some last finishing touches. I am assuming that all of our questions will be answered once the car is complete and videos of the car driving will be available then.

I will say this....Hinson Supercars did an AMAZING job....so much so that people had to point out to their friends that this wasn't the stock motor....i am 100% satisfied with their work and cannot wait to see what number we make now that I have a little more time.

Noah, Awesome work on the car man! I got a chance to see it last night and it looks even better in person! You did a great job and everything on it looks clean!

Now for the question! When is the LS2 coming out and the LSX going to be completed and put in?

Did you buy the LS2 also? Or was that just a loaner to get into your car for SEMA?

Dream bigger. Because the new GM Performance Parts LSX takes the LS-series V8 to the ultimate extreme. Shaped from 50-plus years of V8 know-how and refined with the speed secrets of Warren "The Professor" Johnson, the LSX block was engineered to handle up to 2,500 horsepower, all for a price that will have the rest of the world wondering how we did it. Build your dream with LSX, available March 2007.

2,500 hp? Think you may need more than drag radials to get traction.

He'll need that button on the steering wheel like on the Mach-5 that enabled the tank tread to magically appear over the tires.

I bought the LS2 as well....hence why I am stuck with what to do financially now. I Can twin turbo the LS2 for a good 6XX RWHP and be happy or build the N/A LSX for roughly 6XX rwhp as well...I am completely wiped out so i guess I just need to start saving again.

Or you could sell the ls2 to someone who is wanting to do this as well and then get the lsx and put a blower on dat b!tch and make lets say 12XXrwhp. I bet there are a few that would love to drop that engine in thier whip.

I think your "problem" is not necessarily a PROBLEM! As is I'm sure your Z rocks!

NoahzBurnt

it is a problem....I am way over budget and really just want to drive the car...either option will get her back to me just in time for the snow....maybe i'll buy a blown up FD RX-7 and drop the LS2 in there to drive around while i build the LSX....i don't know at this point...i am going to go with Brian Hinson's suggestions as to what to do....he knows his stuff and has yet to misguide me (hell he has an 8 second TT LS1 RX-7)

I asked this before but no answer: Would this be a "legal" modification in California?

Out of curiousity...Why not? Can you not build a street rod in California?

tahoe-man

This should solve that problem...
