Blew it up

Question. I see you mentioned changing IC piping. That mean you changed to V2.0? I definitely would have retuned after that. I have a hard time saying for sure because I changed exhaust at the same time but my tuner definitely had to do some tune dialing in when I upgraded.

Did you upgrade to 3" intakes too?

Has anyone here put in an LS into a 370 yet?

Should have had a v8


One person is in the process of fitting an LS3

and to the OP sorry about hearing about the engine blowin,
that's why If I ever decide to go boost I will be getting every little mod known to man kind to support the type of power the car would be getting besides the mandatory mods for boost. Sadly that will cost me anywhere between $25-$30k instead of $15-$20k like the average is discussed. Like for example I put a Spec Stage 3 clutch in my Z but I know by the time I want boost the WHOLE Clutch/Flywheel combo, Rear Diff, FI exhaust from the end of the FI LTH for the turbos, increased oil cooler size, Powerhouse Amuse or +1INGS Aerodynamic full authentic body kits, entire Fuel system, sump pump, CSC elimination kit etc. will need to be done. EVERY LITTLE THING that I could do to prevent and engine blow I would..
Plus I would do all of that at once just cause my car would have to stay there period, just rather them knock it all out in one sitting. Now having the money is a different story lol.

If I ever end up not going boost, I'm going to tune it (don't know which yet), still going to do the body kit, Full ARK Grip exhaust system (gotta figure out something from my friend, he knows a website I guess to where he knows the owner of the company and is good friends and when the parts get made they can be 50 state smogged and the sticker put on there even though they don't qualify to even pass smog in CA.) So even though my car wont pass smog with the ARK exhaust the stickers from the manufacturing company give the right of way. So hopefully looking to never have to exchange my damn exhaust for a smog check.

Just my two ideas incase you are able to get any ideas of what you want to do with your Z. Honestly an estimate from a shop might not be a bad idea just to see exactly all of the damage and what everything would cost at least for OEM. Gives you a starting point to start choosing a path for the Z

Think there is one at my tuners shop but I could be mistaken and they are all 350s.

Yeah I changed to the V2 version of the piping, but still kept the original intakes. I did some tuning myself to the car as far as drivability to fix it. I didn't get it perfect, but it was good enough to drive. Under WOT, AFR and timing were good. I ran a few datalogs to monitor back when I first made the change.
