Check out this bad Cadillac on the dyno, "test track", and parking lot:

minime68 makes 630whp at SRR on a standard bottom end, so this makes the LSA engine even more interesting.

Looks like it can make alot of power and take some abuse

Yup, I made 630whp on that SRR Dyno. Should be close to 700whp on a dynojet which is mostly what they go by in the states. Not to knock on this build, but those are not great numbers on the spray for the mods. I didnt catch what size shot it was.

Check out Junkie's CTS-V. He consistently pushed close to 4 digits to the wheels on the stock engine with the spray (100 shot) and 740 on boost only. Ran 9.7 in the 1/4 mile and this is his slow car. He has a beast supra and a notchback mustand with an LS motor being worked on. After this, many followed his template and now are running in the 9s. Here's some links:

Come on man?! You can't tell me that does't look badass! That setup is functional for a 9 second car. Better than 90% of the poser rice we see around these days.
