Its time to get this party started!







 I have been very busy with getting everything in order to have an amazingly strong, and reliable, motor for 2011. Part of this is growing my supporting group of team partners.





The biggest step up Jiovani Racing has EVER seen in performance is happening right now. With our new team partner Trick Flow Performance, our drift car will put out over 500hp at the crank! The numbers will be backed with a dyno chart soon. Due to last years terrible luck, I have spent lots of time researching parts, kits, rebuilds, and such to put together the most bulletproof-without-robbing-a-few-banks LS1 motors ever.










The level of quality is amazing on these 215 heads. The intake runners are 215cc, exhaust is 80cc with the combustion chamber itself at 64cc. The kit came complete with hardend pushrods, rockers, bolts, and gaskets. The reason this kit is so attractive to the moderate knowledge motorhead, is that it was designed with a cam that works great with the heads. The cam specs are 228/230 duration, .585 in./.585 in. lift, 112 lobe separation angle. Too many times people mismatch upgrades with bad results. TrickFlow did the homework, so you can just enjoy the raw power!

















In addition to Trick Flow, Eagle Rods has joined our efforts and will be at the heart of the motor with connecting rods. These H-Beam style rods will replace the factory rods and come with ARP rod bolts for even more durability.






ISIS is now providing an oil-cooler to help keep this motor safe. ISIS Performance is dedicated to providing high quality products at amazing prices. All ISIS products are thoroughly tested on vehicles on and off the track prior to being released to the public. In other words, ISIS knows what they are selling.!


Finally, we picked up some DriveShaftShop Stage2 Axles for the new found power. The bar is thicker diameter, and the interior mounts are stronger design. On the stock style, there are 3 "legs" that stick out and bolt to the differential; these Stage 2's have a "caged" or full solid ring so the mounting itself is also stregthened.


 


Additionally, I picked up a new Melling10296 oil pump, some Celvite Main&Rod Bearings (Calico Coated), ARP 2000 Rod Bolts, CP Flat Top Pistons (10.5:1 compression ratio), LS6 intake, higher flow injectors, some gauges, and a rom-tune (coming soon). The pistons, intake, and injectors are suggested to pair with the TrickFlow kit for optimal gains.
