Hello sweet99ss,

We have experience with both of these kits with install and tuning. We've had great luck with the Magnuson Heartbeat system as well. Let me know if you have any questions, we'd be happy to help you out. Shoot me a PM for further information.

Glad to hear you're still happy with the LSA!

Thanks for tuning in.

Love the LSA for how I use the car, no questions about it.

That is a nice TT 427, I might do it in a Vette I dunno. Mine will be many moons away, and I would keep my LSA to do exactly what it does now, provide a thrill in all types of driving, including cruising the kids thru the mountains, 1.5x 60 ft butt plantings, 1.xx lateral Gs or just plain being pretty.

OP, moral of my story is like others have said, decide what you want first, then research what you give up to get it and make peace BEFORE you start!

OP's goals are low-mid 11s @ 120. What would a Heartbeat run on an otherwise stock power car?

smokum · 10-26-2017, 07:33 PM

I made 721rwhp and 740 rwtq. with my lsa 417 at 10 psi boost on 93 octane. If I keep it I'm going e85 and 3-4 more lbs of boost and will sit at 825rwhp and 850 rwtq. Yes that's with a non ported lsa with a stock ls3 throttle body. On a safe tune. My car made current numbers with 14 degrees timing. E85 will change that a bunch.

Koool. Dont mean to get off topic but i have a 408 iron block stroker 10.1 compression 2300 jackshaft maggie with od cog rear, btr pds blower stage 3 cam, ported ls3 heads, 3200 circle d stall, fore dual 450s pumps and flex sensor and 1400cc injectors. 6% od ati balancer, sc upper pulleys ranging from 2.9 to 3.6 Going to the shop tomorrow for a tune

Best part of the LSA is the torque.
I see a lot of centrifugal blowers make good high end HP numbers bigger than mine, but lack the lower end torque.

I have a recipe for 10.90s 123ish, for L99 cars using a Maggie, cai headers Tune and drag radials.

505 Wheel HP will get it done.

JRE Street Brawler package.

I have that cam i think AGP is talking about me. I didnt feel the need to take it out when i went TT. Kind of took a gamble but it worked out. Turned it up to 824whp @ 13psi and tuner felt it had more left in it but we stopped there. Also still had stock 2.5 inch NPP exhaust at the time.

Bildo · 10-31-2017, 09:54 AM

I am a bit concerned about my compression 9.5:1 because I was originally going to just run 91..... did an E-85 conversion with a squash dual 450lph system and now think the compression will be too low or I will be missing out on some power with compression that low.

Good to know. Thanks for the response! What turbos are you running with it?
