Yeah! I forgot what his name was! but he drove the yellow protege... he got a really cool video of us leaving the ferry heading to 275.... I would like to see it
Damn, sorry I missed the cruise. It looks like you guys had a great time. I couldn't get out of work b/c one of my coworkers was auditioning for American Idol and I had to cover for her.

I am hopping to have all finished by next summer!
Now it gets interesting. From what I have read the LS1 is an all aluminum block with a total weight including trans of 450-500lbs. How does this compare to the stock RX8 weight of motor and trans.
Also, the engine will product 350HP in stock form with a whopping 360-375 ft/lb of torque. How are you going to deal with the traction control? obviously, you will need a stand alone ECU. Sounds like a great project.
BTW What are you doing with the RX8 motor???
