Used??
New??

I think the best place for a used one would be LS1tech's for sale section. I don't think many AF members would have one up for sale or I would recommend the classifieds here.

if you want a used one check ebay or chevy/vette trader (its a type of autotrader). you can get a good deal on a engine/tranny combo.

im looking for used, and as cheap as possible,one with a T56 attached if at all possible, most seem to have the auto...

and my KA was pretty fast, ran consistent 11.6's 1/4's and 8.0 flat 1/8ths...this is with me spinning 1st gear ;)

That is a TON of MPH to pick up in the 1/4 mile.
Light car with boost for sure.

My times are 7.711 in the 1/8 and 11.97 in the 1/4.
Just curious because mine picks up strong top end too. Just not like that.

that was running 20psi of boost. yea the car low end pulls obviously like a truck...but up high the car was pretty crazy. 1/8 mile times could have been better, but lack of traction out of the hole. my best 60 ft was a 1.86. which isnt all that good. Need to get some slick's instead of the Drag Radials i WAS running.

My friend with the identical setup as me ran 7.7...bu this was with M/T slicks. He's the one with the black 240 in my videos. as you can see..depending who got traction was who won.
