WOW some big bucks getting spent here Gary! I see you bought KRYPTONITE at the Santa Rosa dealer. Did you drive it back there or have a car carrier take it? I think you are going to have a lot of fun & thrills on the break-in drive back home!

Looking forward to seeing and hearing it...Bill

That's going to be really sweet! How will this compare to a Mallett conversion?

LS-3 has 10 more cubes and 30 more horses.

Thanks, I'm jealous of both. They must be awesome to drive!

427 ci & 505 Hp stock

Oh sure rub it in. Yes, I'd love to drive one of those too! I can't even get my dad to let me drive his '63 Stingray split window coupe. But then it doesn't have near that horsepower but it sure looks nice!

RedSkyMan · 05-23-2008, 08:43 PM

How about these upgrades instead.

Now that is my dream car, I would almost consider trading my Sky for.

Nice

Awe shucks all I have is 555.6/485.5 to the wheels, just a QM 600 cam, AR LT headers, intake & tune.

"all throttle, no bottle"

Just another small block Chevy, hand built at GM Performance Build Center, Wixom Mich

BTW How does the SKY weigh with the Mallet conversion?

Now I'm getting jealous.

Oh, and about that weight question, Chuck said the conversion added about 200LB to the Sky.

Yep, same color too. He had it restored from the frame up. The only thing not stock I think is the radio.

Don't mean to hijack the thread though...I would certainly take an LS3 in my car.

Don't be, you have a fine piece of machinery with the Mallet. I almost went that way myself. Have you ran any 1/4 mile passes? I am real interested in the times.

RedSkyMan · 05-23-2008, 09:06 PM

I would like to, but I'm not real comfortable putting that much HP on that stock driveline.

What it needs is item #16 on that upgrade list with better tires.
I got 47 big ones in it now. If I did that then I'd have 59 bills in it, and like
was said last year, might as well buy a Vette.
