I'm not trying to be an *** but I have a question to ask. What is the reason you did a ls1 swap for just 322rwhp. Do you have future plans for this setup, possibly FI? To me this build is not that cost effective nor horsepower effective when you could have supercharged your engine. The way I figure it is that you could have had more power with a supercharged setup on your vq, pretty reliable at those power levels, also. I am just trying to see the point of the build. kudos to you though it is a nice setup. I'm not bashing and I may also be out of touch.

The primary reason behind all of this is that I am an engineer for a living and this is what I do for fun. No real reason behind it other than that.
Beyond that, the LS1 will still make more power more reliably than the VQ and with less hassle. Anyone can argue that point to death, but it is my personal opinion through my experiences even though my experiences are far from normal.
I would like to boost the LS in the future, but I think I am just going to do an intake manifold, cam, valve springs, push rods and a 50 shot of nitrous and call it a day. Some suspension work and I can run low to mid tens all day and have fun.

No offense taken. As you can see in the video, my first version was a 400+whp supercharged stock motor and the second was a built motor with a single turbo.
