You did a great job with engine install. Looks great and I love the pic with US carrier behind it. How does the LS3 compare to the 383 as far as low end torque, etc?

.....came out pretty good..... LOL That's an understatement!!
Very, very nice !! :cheers:

How does the LS3 compare to the 383 as far as low end torque, etc?The 383 had more low end torque...this one is not far behind but over 100mph....this one wants to keep going!!!!Tons and tons of power!!!
ps the carrier is The Uss Hornet.....I live in Alameda Ca....A decommissioned Naval Air Station

My drivetrain is ls2/t56, any info would be greatly appreciated
Thank you , dean.

Psi has the best aftermarket harness... They will make it to your specs

[Justin@EntropyRad]
