e30 LS

[B C]

Well, looks like it goes just as fast as your M20 on 18psi, with more low end and not as high-strung. 

I'd call that a win

Yeah it gets to 100mph pretty damn quick. It's super fun and I'm pleased. I'm just learning how to drive it now...it's really crazy shifting from into 2nd gear going 40+

It's out of a 99 camaro. It's an all aluminum 5.7L.

Also for reference. The Dakota Digital SGI-8E will work in the e30 it must be set to 8 cylinder input and 12 cylinder output to e30 tach.

jesus fuck that is quick. I really need to get a ride in this thing to compare how it feels sitting shotgun in my 135

Are you still running the weaves or will you be going with something meatier to get all of those ponies to the asphalt?

I'm not sure what I am going to do. For now I'm sticking with the style 5 weaves and 205/45/16 BFGoodrich Sport Comp 2's. I would like to get some drag radials though eventually. To be honest the gearing seems a little high right now and In a straight line it breaks loose shifting into second at 50 but quickly grips and powers through.

Once I source a 4.10 LSD things may change...

I would like to try auto x with Kaiser and want to hit the strip near me as well.

LS1 is actually pretty soft down low with a flat tq curve.  That's why it's doesn't spin the tires at 20mph in a 1st gear roll on.  Any cam and it'll become a top end motor.

I run a 373LSD in mine with a much taller tire (255/40/17) and more power.  410LSD would work well for your setup.  GLD for the 1/4 mile?
