I think he means a GEN III Chevrolet Small block of some kind. Was this at Sacramento or infineon (sears point)? Must have been hard without a differential..

yeah, usually "lsx" denotes the ls series engines in general, but when you are only talking about one in particular, the actual number is used.

...so is it an ls1,ls2,ls3,ls6,ls7,ls9..unlikely, or and ls truck motor?

nice time though, for a stock motor.

im alittle confused. his screen name denotes a nissan 5.6l

I believe the LSx is a block that is compatible with pretty much all of the LS series parts... so you can throw on an LS6 crank, then some LS3 heads etc...

But yes, many use LSX to describe the LS series of engines, LS1, LS2, LS6 etc....

you thought N/A diffs were strong? I've heard of people blow'n them with a stock T2 engine after a swap. I'm surprised he got two runs at the track with a N/A diff powered by a LS1.

its the torque not the horsepower that breaks the diffs.a rotary will not produce 250 plus ft lbs of torque at 2000 rpm and up.thats what breaks the diffs

torque is= how hard you hit the wall
hp is= how high up the wall you go

I ran the 12.7 at Infineon. it was a good day for testing.

GM did brand the name LSX as an aftermarket LS1 swap.

I have sold the car since.

On to the S14 with a titan motor.
