Project "Blown HD" my 6/8 drop/shortblock/heads/cam/blower/tranny install
22 NOV 11 update: DJM suspension showed up; getting ready to drop this thing soon!
My big install is just around the corner now, as some of you know, it's been almost 2 yrs in the making. I did my best, with the help of a few experts, in choosing a well thought out combination/package. Cam specs have changed 100 times, and I've had no less than 3 cams in my possession, all uninstalled.
So in keeping with my goals and engine parameters, the basic spec is as follows.
-Heads, WCCH 035 Stage 2's, 73.5cc, 2.02 1.57 (roughly 9.0-1 CR w/stock Head Gaskets)
-Cam, EDC(Flowtech), 224/236 .600/.590 @ 116LSA (powerband is 2000-6400 rpm on a 346-364ci engine)
-Connecting Rods, Stock w/LPE rod bolts (same as Katech)
-Rocker Arms, Stock
-Lifters, Stock
-Pushrods- Comp Cams 7.4
-Timing Chain- Comp Cams adjustable single roller ( I will be degreeing the Cam)
-Blower, Magnuson MP122HH @ 10lbs of boost
-remove/replace check balance of driveline
-clean-up/re-route engine wiring
The exhaust system is already installed, SW 1 3/4w/3" collectors, 3" spun metallic cats, X-Pipe, dual Magnaflow 3" in/out 14" mufflers, one magnaflow dual 3" in/out muffler, w/turned down hidden tips out the back.
On the DynoSim Software this combo is making between 750-850fwhp/fwtq, depending on boost levels, 10-14psi range. Peak TQ occurring @ 2000-2500rpm, Peak HP occurring @ 6000rpm (extending to 6500rpm). Obviously that's not a reality yet so I will be sure to post results as the combination is tested in the appropriate sections.
Also, I wanted to make sure I had a spot to mount the Dynojet(Autometer) Wideband gauge and the Autometer EGT gauge. I'm not really into the pillar gauge pods, although I am not oppossed either, I figured I might try and find another high visibility location and ultilize a useless(IMO) area of the dash for them to mount.....however.....it will take me few days to get it all done, here's the first few pics, I used one sheet of woven fiberglass cloth, one sheet of 3M patch reinforcement, and some resin. Next step will be the bondo

There is a guy on gmfullsize that mounted his air gauges there. It looked awesome, as I am sure yours will too. Do you plan to paint, or are you going to make it textured like the rest of the bezel?
