I posted in the GM Engine section, but the post is jacked up or something.

Anyway the pic isn't the actual s/c, but you get the idea. Bought a silver I/C from a fellow member. Hoping it will get here by Monday. Gonna go ahead and do a head and cam swap while I'm at it. Gotta get all of the little pain in the *** crap for the swap/install together so it'll prolly be Labor Day time frame for the install.

 

Where's the pic?
Yeah your last post was weird!


edit...now I see it! nevermind.

 

did you buy 1slowhoes?

 

OH **** Frank! Stepping it up I see. Very nice!

What about your LS6 intake? And what are the new cam specs?

I've been having some new thoughts of my own
Hmmmm

 

nope.

 

Turbo that's cool! When are you planning to do this?

Looks like I won't be needing the intake anymore, so it'll go up in the classifieds along with the injectors and non-return fuel rail.

Cam will probably look something like the CheaTR or TR Blower, but with a touch less Exh duration. 214/224 .600/.600 116LSA XE/XFI lobes. There have been many peeps who have had great success with the LPE GT2-3, but I wanted to try something a little different.

 

Good deal, welcome to FI....your gonna have one sht eat'n grin when you get into it. What heads and how low are you taking the CR?

 

Did you mill the 243s yet? That 65cc chamber would do nicely now.

 

thank ya trever1t.

Trever1t I have a set of untouched 243s that I would like to use.

FI is something I have never done and am wandering what would be better...I initially planned to bring the chamber down to what the 5.3 is (61.xx) and use a .040 head gasket to improve the quench a bit. This would bring the CR to ~9.2:1. Should I keep a slightly larger chamber, still using the .040 head gasket, say in the 62-63cc area? This would bring the CR back down to something like 9.0:1. Which would be better?

I talked with TR yesterday about cam selection and will probably go with the TR-Blower cam 214/230 .601/.579 +1 117LSA, ditch the TCI-SF and go back to the TB verter. Would this cam + larger chamber=good combo?

 

Damn, that must be what a Radix looks like... Never seen one...







Just messing with ya man, congrads on joining the FI junkies...
