What does the LS engine in my Camaro have to do with this conversation. :lol:

Since when does an LS engine make decent torque? :peepwall:

Define decent torque? The Camaro is running a very conservative, safe baseline tune for break in miles. I've been meaning to take it in for a better tune, but it has been so much fun as is that I haven't gotten around to it. The first and only full pass yet, it made 585/565 on a loaded chassis dyno. not bad, right? How much torque do you think it has at 3000rpm?

I only made that statement due to Todd's usual position that a motor is inadequate if doesn't make over 600 ft lbs at 3000 rpm. like his did... Or something like that. :lol:

I can confirm that your new LS engine makes pretty damm good torque! Now if you can get the pass door to open.. :mock:

And like Todd, I was trying to make you guys say something so I could come back and talk about how much better my pile of junk is. :D

If you ran it on an engine dyno next to Rob's archaic monster, I bet it would make 600 ft-lbs at 3000. I don't have a print out, but I want to say it made 400 on the dyno at 2500rpm and 500 around 3000.

Cris, I have the inside door handle working again, so at least I have people can get out now, haha.

I believe you meant to say Vintage Jewel :action-smiley-027:

Glad to see all that GM advancement in technology in 40 years has allowed you to equal my motors output. :lmao:

:cheers:

Let's have a chassis dyno day when your car is done! :)

Utterly pathetic of GM, isn't it! You have no idea how happy I was to spend 10k on the latest and greatest piece of Ford technology with overhead cams and variable valve timing and 8000rpm goodness which produces a whopping 444hp.

That's damn solid for a little mouse. Cole and Dale are just jealous. They need nascar technology or 50 more cubes to have a sporting chance. :D
