    On Oct, I took the LS1 on its maiden Track Day at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway and she did me proud. I left the street tires on becuase I wanted to know how she would perform w/o the slicks on.

    Track temps were at 100-105F all day but she ran well within normal temp. Here are some pics and vids:
    Vids, going down the straight away:

    Scott,

    Do you realize that if you would just install a large V8 in your car that it would be close to the epitome of what my widebody should have been?...The student would become the teacher lol

    Car looks and sounds awesome. How much power are you hoping to put to the wheels after the head/cam work?

    Its essentially an all stock LS1. The cam and head work will come later down the line when I iron out some lil issues, like my clutch line blowing up last nite... But when I did dyno tune it. It did a conservative 308whp / 313ft/lbs tq. I'm very happy with it for now.
