Sounds damn good.

Chad ,

Do you have any pics of how your exhaust was installed? Especially the rear...

Hi Jr.

The closest thing I can find right now is this pic.

If you need to see something else, let me know.

EDIT: It BARELY fits in the rear with 3" tailpipes.

Are you running a baffled oil pan, accusump,etc with your LS? Are you having any oil pressure problems at the track?

I'm running an autokraft oil pan which has 4 trap doors rather than just baffles, the windage tray that comes with the GM hot rod pan and a large oil cooler which also added a little more than a quart of additional capacity.

So far I've had no serious oil control problems. I say that based on never seeing the oil pressure gauge drop in a turn on track though to be fair my attention is usually elsewhere. But I also take a lot of comfort in the fact I've also never had a low oil pressure code. My Mast M90 ECU will trigger a code if the oil pressure drops below 15 or 12 PSI (can't recall the exact number) so I know for sure I've never had a total loss of pressure from cornering.

I'm still considering an accusump though.

It had been a while since I went through your thread, but I seen that you were using an aftermarket pan. I have a Texas Speed 570 hp LS3 in my 69 firebird with the Holley 302 pan. I got my hands on their new trap door pan insert that I will be installing after I drop the sub and pull the motor....I haven't fired the motor yet. I also have an Accusump 3qt to plumb in. I will be using my car similar to what you are doing.

Sounds like a good plan. I saw the improved racing insert recently and that is a great alternative to buying a whole new pan. I haven't seen the Holley one but if its similar it should work great.

If you are going to be doing track days with 20 minute road course sessions I would recommend an oil cooler. Even 10 minutes on a road course heats my oil up a LOT. At minimum get an oil temp gauge and get one that goes higher than 250* (280* minimum) so you can see what is happening.

I thought Improved Racing is who came up with the pan insert for the 302 pan, but it is sent in Holley packaging. I have a C&R rad with built in oil and power steering coolers. I went with an Improved Racing thermostat that bolts up to the pan. I will be keeping tabs on the motor with a Racepak dash with warning lights.

Custom built exhaust I assume?

Sounds like some great parts! I will have to check out that thread at home as PT.com is blocked for me at work.

Yes that is a custom built exhaust.
