Katech's new project Street/Strip/Show car

[Katech]

This is going to be an exciting project. Keep watching for our modification process throughout the winter and racing next spring. Everything will be documented with lots of videos and pictures. This is going to be a drag car that does not comprimise drivability or streetability. Other details will be released as they are determined.

are you going to dyno after each mod is done?

Most likely yes. The mods may be grouped and there may be one "big" mod. :smt077

What would you guys like to see as a powerplant?

[Ta Jay]

budget depending i wouldnt mind to see something along the lines of....affordable/streetable. a powerplant capable of anything you throw at it. long road trips, hard WOT runs, stop and go traffic, abuse of MI roads. a setup that is user friendly. where if a gf or mother had to drive the car they would be able to do so comfortably. more of an all around feel. yes its a high performance machine, but it can also be your daily driver. I think that when people start modding their cars they forget what their intentions/goals are. bcuz once you do headers, u want a cam, then with a cam you could use a nice fresh set of heads. so now your talkin major $ but ur also talkin haulin ass. its hard to setup one car to suit everyones needs, but if i was to be pikn out the parts i would start with an LS1. agressive cam, stock heads, intake, TB, LT's, Yank36OO, tune, lca's, torque arm, and sum kind of rear end. either beef up the glass 7.5 or 12-bolt.

You share my philosophy on modifications. I never want to comprimise drivability. I don't want a drag car that needs to be trailered to the track and only runs on race gas. This car is going to drive to all shows to demonstrate Katech's durability. This car already has heads/cam/intake/headers/exhaust. We will be removing this powerplant. Generically speaking, what powerplant is everybody interested in? Budget is not really much of an issue. We have allotted a significant amount of money for the powerplant and we do it at our cost.

mmmmm i can't wait.... !!!

Can't wait to see all you guys at Auto Europe in the spring!

That is going to be a sweet SS when u guys are done with it. :smt023

First off let me just say Nice choice on F-Bod styles!! :smt023

But I gota agree, the LS1 already has the aftermarket stuff for it, and is so great to mod! (altho wouldn't mine seein jus how far you can push the LS2!!)
Push that Bi&^ch to the limits I say! Without loosing driveability, of course! :smt025 :smt038
