Thanks really means a lot coming from you, maybe I'll have to pick up an m30 manifold some day for my e28. Car felt like it made very good power when I melted the piston haha shot the dipstick into the woods since I had the hood off.

Thanks

That's what normally happens when your like, "damn this shit feels a lot faster" then BOOM.
That HX52 might be too small. Those LS motors can make a 1000hp with boost.
How much are planning to boost?

Lean is mean haha. The hx52 is just mocked up for size, I'm thinking Borg Warner s476r, and water/meth injection. Maybe 18psi or more we will see

Headlights have arrived.
What do you think? I LOVE how it looks.

What is that grill & headlight setup from?

Huge fan of everything but the square headlights... looks like something someone thought up as an afterthought.

As far as the pan goes, cost of pan + $100 for modding + shipping sounds reasonable / what people will pay.

100 bucks isn't enough to make it worth while to do. It took me 3 hours to modify mine. I used a plasma cutter to cut the pan and it still took about 3 hours to cut, fit, prep and weld the pan.

The square headlights aren't for everyone, that's for sure.

I don't think 100+ shipping is worth it either, the plate I used was like $30 itself.

[jalopi]

1. $30 for the amount of plate you used seems kinda pricey

2. I thought I remembered the sikky pans being way cheaper than they are. $750 includes a modded pan with kickouts on the sides + baffling, the necessary dipstick and an oil filter relocation kit. GTO pans are about $100 or so used.

Trust me, I know your labor/time is worth the money and finding someone who's good at welding aluminum isn't easy, but take what you think your work is worth and reduce it by 20-50%... that's what people are usually willing to pay (at least that's been my experience anyway)

Yup, should pretty nuts haha. I need to find a set of clean lightly smoked tail lights, mine have seen better days (shopping carts at work)

Thanks, will do!

pure awesomeness.... just swapped in a s50 into my car.. drove it for about 50 miles and texted Otis to order a turbo manifold... LSX with boost is going to be out of this world.
