Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit... 105mm was never mentioned in this thread, I must have had a mental layover from Facebook earlier(?). Damn meds. But, yeah - port the snout and add a matching TB is just good practice.

On a stock blower a 105mm TB definitely qualifies as snake oil. Your 95mm most likely suits your mods better, as you stated it is a supporting mod. But, on a stock car there is little reason to look past a mildly ported stock TB. You'll know you need to address the TB when the datalogs...

That's because there isn't any. More snake oil - when you need a 105mm throttle body, you'll know it.

What performance benefits, and associated data/proof, do the vendors who offer them tell you to expect?

Sounds about right.

The dealership I am dealing with is investigating my options (as Canada only gets a 3 year powertrain and basic warranty); my expectation is that we will settle on a heavily discounted extended warranty. I'd like to get a minimum of 7 years of coverage - this is not a car I plan to fix myself...

I'll just take leave, so it doesn't matter to me. Question is whether my family wants to come along too.

I am in! ...at least as long as I am not traveling to/from Windsor to pick up my new car. ;)

http://napiervilledragway.com/calendar2006.htm Wow - they are planning on running into November this year.

Plus 13% taxes and any residual financing. Did we ever tell you how much more expensive our gas is?

Got word the car is KZLD... aka transit delayed. But, I now have this to stare at:

Napierville?

Same deal with LS builds. If you are going max effort on a SBE you pull the pistons, file the rings, and pop it back together. The HCs have the ring lands lowered slightly (unlike the NA Gen III; and also why the HC is 6.2L vs. 6.4L), but it is not nearly enough in a stock application for big...

What about a Friday or a Tuesday?

No, that is not what I am saying or said - so don't read into it. However, only you can control your actions (like choosing and validating your shift points) - regardless, your transparency continues to be appreciated. This is one of those instances where it is not better to be lucky than...

Power production is only one facet that needs to be considered in the potential of these engines. Weight is a huge oversight, these cars are 1000lbs heavier than their contemporaries at the drag strip. Look at every Fox-body, G-body, or F-body that is effectively running a hopped up LS with...

There are those who bought them to look at them, rub them with diapers, and ride on the coat tails of those who actually use their stuff. Where's the "most stone chips" thread at? Probably buried beneath the copious "which PPF?" and "which rock guard?" threads.

The links at the top of the page are slick.

For as beautiful as this is, there is a reason Dodge put a solid axle under the Drag Pak cars: reliability. This is the same reason that I scrapped the idea of using a 30 year old 8.5" GN diff in my wagon and went straight to a Strange S60. Brand new, beefy, and no worries.

Bingo, these engines are 8 to 9 tenths off the showroom floor. I've expressed this fact on a number of occasions since this piston/rod/rpm/shift point debacle began. Put an aftermarket rod and piston set in it if you want more.
