I really wish I had the LS4/DSG in it... Plan is to make it for the 40th show next year so I bet the LS4 will also make it up the hill next year.

Long 3 day road race weekend at heartland motorsports park. It was untimed, so just made a TON of laps. Overall the chassis has been handling worse and worse which i think is indication of the rear shocks failing slowly and overall the alignment needs alot of work that I made some mistakes on and forgot my not seized rear lat links in my garage that I was going to replace at the track.
Other news, heartland park has a dragstrip and I managed a soft 2.1 60ft and snuck out a 13.7 at 103 which is absolutely juiced for a untouched TDC motor... I would guess the cam mods that were popular back in the day would have easily added another 2mph. I feel really bad for anyone that I pointed away from this motor back 10 years ago when I was pushing the 3800sc stuff as this motor just absolutely blows my mind with its reliability, sound, power, etc.

I find this encouraging. I just received the last pieces I need to start my 97 LQ1/F23 swap. I've been procrastinating it for over a year now. ("Should I do an LZ9 and just be done with it? Or go ahead with the LQ1?")
Time to get my ass in gear.
Your car sounds great![This message has been edited by Raydar (edited 10-17-2023).]

Do note that I have a very fancy and also very for sale exhaust on this car that adds to the power and sound quite a bit....

The exhaust looks great, but it looks like I'd have to delete most of my trunk. Also probably won't fit my ('97) heads. (Already have a set of... WCF? shorty headers, so we shall see.)
Good luck with your endeavors.

Yeah, the trunk doesnt stand a chance with this exhaust, I hope to retain the muffler/tailpipe configuration with the LS4 as it is really friendly to my ears and keeping heat away from the motor.
