I actually feel a sense of joy that it was my thread he chose to come "out" in.
You could say, I feel unique

Rules only apply in the real world with people that have experience with them. I mean, nobody has EVER had a problem with a 2j motor....they shoot lightning bolts out their exhaust and do your taxes for free.

Not in the engine bay, but it will be an option very soon...

This is the turbo:

No thanks. That's not one of their newer CEA turbos.

No, it is not, but will still flow plenty. If you are stuck on the CEA turbos then this would be another option:

Well, the CEA turbos are quite superior to their older models in both output and spool. A 7675CEA would be a much better choice IMO. It makes almost as much power as their old 88mm.

Well, just got back home from the shop. We're heading 100% into the direction of LS. Now, to decide on which exact base engine/tranny setup to choose, find it, buy it, and get going. I will have a crap load of VQ/TT/fuel related parts available f/s soon.

Good luck!

Has anyone in the VQ community done an LS3 swap yet? That would be cool to see ...or an LS9 swap.

LOL True. The initial investment cost of an LS9 is high. But lots of guys have spent 20+K on VQ FI builds ...especially those who are on their 2nd or 3rd (or more) built VQ motor.

So true. I'm looking at anything right now, trying to decide the cheapest way to get as close as I can to 550rwhp n/a then shoot 150

A stroked cammed sleeved 427 LS2 would be awesome. they are making close to 600whp NA with those setups for less money than that LS9.

Throw on a rear mount PT108 and you'd really be rolling
