    I have it on there now, but not sure what I'll end up with. I have an IX booster and I've been playing with the thought of using that. I don't have ABS and don't have high beam headlight, so I may have room to fit everything with a little modification of the current setup which is supposed to use the Mustang hydroboost. Once I get the engine in I'll know for sure, but the headlight/ABS delete isn't an option for everyone.

    Picture below sort of what I was thinking early on. That is the stock booster, IX booster is a little smaller but not much.

        Jeez, how slammed is your car Yoshi? Was the oval exhaust pipe really necessary? Or are we just being cautious? Regardless though... very well done

          I forget. I think it's a 4 inch oval into 3 inch straight back. maybe it was a 5 oval with a 4 inch straight back. It's just a tight fit down there. I'm not really that low at all really.

            Hm. Just ordered parts to make a real exhaust for my car - hopefully 2.5" (single pipe) isn't too restrictive.

              For what motor? I think that's too small. IMO 3 inch.

                Was that as big as you can fit down there? Im going HCI LS3, is there really even enough room for a big enough exhaust? A single 3" out isnt going to cut it.

                  ford 302. I was the guy whose exhaust was dumping in front of the front tires at summit in october.

                  hopefully it's not too restrictive.... I used this site to figure out my exhaust size:



                  I'm guestimating I'm making 300-320 wheel, so per the calculator I'm a bit undersized - hopefully it won't make too much of a difference.

                    LS anything will put out 350 wheel I would assume. I'm not so great on these motors yet though. I'd do a single 3 but that's tough. dual 2.5s would be awesome. I hate doing dual pipes though. So much welding.

                        LS1 = 350 hp
                        LS2 = 400 hp
                        LS3 = 430 hp
                        LS6 = 405 hp
                        LS7 = 505 hp
                        LS9 = 638 hp

                        All CRANK numbers. Most of the above have variations in hp depending on application.

                        I'm not an LS expert, just wikipedia'd it.

                        aaaaaand bump for the last buyer....

                          Nice, so only 1 more for 10% off..... I know someone wants a LS powered e30.

                          And yup ^^ those numbers are right on. Some applications have different intake manifolds or air intakes so some vary +/- 10ish hp. HCI ls3 will put me somewhere around 550-600 to the crank. I don't think a single 3 is going to cut it. Is dual 2.5s even possible?
