Without doubt the LS1 is made of alloy, but to play with your theory, what is we substitute a jet engine of the same weight for the LS1. At the cars new top speed, how well would it stop? I presume the LS1 will go much faster, and accelerate much quicker than stock, thus inertia plays a bigger role in stopping that weight even if it is of the same mass, no?

[jp91484]

@grifter116 classic example of simple misunderstanding of the basics. it will stop just as well as it always has unless you add weight.....and as we all know ls1's are made of aluminum. the end.

i gotta ls6 ctsv, trade?

[grifter116]

So how well does it now stop with all that extra power?

[D3ADFLA5H]

Were you using the stock rear end?

Or using an m3 diff and half shafts? If so with stock or m3 rear end will the half shafts handle the torque or will it Tear the splines out?

Just curious, I'm doing my research on this because I have and ls1 with ls6 heads and intake. Comp mild cams and stage 3 clutch, that I'm stuffing into my e36 sedan,

Basically just wondering if I can use my stock rear end for now or if I should just go for broke with a c5 subframe and fab it in to fit.

Thanks

@adguerra9 oh. haha sorry for being a dick. didn't know that.

@kevinthematthews e36 was the model. there were actually two different motors put in the e36 m3 over the years. in 95 the motor was a 3.2 rather than the original 3.0 from 92
