Re: Motor for drag strip

I would not limit fast LS stuff to turbos. That's just where most have gone. Plenty of fast N20 LS combos out there. If your pockets are deep enough, there are some LS combos making >900 NA.

Nitrous cars are limited to 1 carb and cast manifold. The nitrous combination uses and older style small block combination. This combination has proven to be fast and consistent. Justin is 3 for 3 since they started this class. I agree with Marv that a big block is the cheapest power. It does not require a whole lot of work to make them run. It is all about your pocket. They will all make power.

Re: Motor for drag strip

I was not limiting the ls to a turbo. There is a customer running almost 175 at the 1/8 with a single turbo ls at 3000 lbs with stock suspension in 97 degree air temp. The meanest nitrous small blocks I know of run 161-162 at that weight. For some reason that combination makes a bunch of power with relatively low boost.

That is moving for sure. Curious what the vehicle is...
