Thats what im saying though! Thats only about 110. Now at 110 with 3.73s you're getting real close to the top of 4th. And after that point what are you going to do...i always shut down. I refuse to race in overdrive! My car pulls like dog poo in 5th. But a 6 speed LS1...wont stop pulling till 140ish when they start to level off...5th gear is actually useful.
Well its definitely perspective on what you call big dogs. From what he stated I am living proof that the big dogs go down for the count on both the roll racing and from a dig with this combo. never been shat on while on the "closed circuits" at high speeds...
Some of you guys are buying to heavily into the LS hype. I own an LS1, and it's a fun car, but nothing for the AFR/FTI/Ported Cobra combo I was running before, and that's a lowly 302. Get more serious with your build and include a stroker package. A worked NA 347 will put out comparable numbers to the worked N/A LS1's. It's just a matter of putting the right parts together.

Those who refuse to race in 5th
IM going to have a T56 built by g force if needed, if not mabye a 03 cobra t56 6speed will handle the power. Then I can pull on the top end just as any Trans am could with there t-56's...Top end should be a problem, I bet I will pull like a mother with the 6 speed and 3.73's and Kenne bell above 120mph watch out ls1's

Well honestly they dont make a lot of peak hp...and they really arent meant for high rpm power....and they do generate a LOT of heat...and there is no easy intercooler options for foxes...so high boost numbers cant happen. I also think that Meth Inj kits need to be modified to shoot after the screws.
My buddy ran 13# on his SN for about 5k miles...then the blower took a poop on him.

YIKES...
Will I be OK with the KB at around 9psi, I dont want the blower to break or generate alot of heat, after all it is a street car. And whats Hight RPM, Im using the stock block H/C/I w/ Anderson 2000-6200rpm cam, Im not going to spin the motor higher than 6,000rpm anyway, Is that ok? or will the KB drop off boost before that? Im also using AFR heads with high rev valve springs and 1.7rr's, So there wont be valve float and they will handle the boost better.
