pacesetter LTs, ORY
also im gonna have the heads and intake ported when the time comes

also i gonna stick with the cat back, SFCs, CAI and elbow that are on it now

What pistons and rods are you planning on running? Stock crank I assume...

Are you letting a machine shop assemble it for you, if not you can order your oil pump, rings, and bearings.

[devonsZ28]

both rods and pistons(4.030) are eagle and JE forged
yes from what i hear the after market cranks arent worth the money
yes a shop will be putting it together

[My95Z]

The stock cranks are pretty tough I think you'll be fine with it. Everything else sounds good, just make sure you get it balanced.

Depending on the wear of your engine you might not need to have it bored out, these things wear extremely little on the cylinder walls, so you might want to consider holding off on the pistons (unless you already bought them) until you get it apart and see the wear.

the shop is gonna do it all from pulling out the engine to the exhaust to the tune,
i already bought the pistons,

[My95Z]

Sounds good! Keep us updated.

[devonsZ28]

will do, im savin up the money to have the work done right now, i have a little over 1/3 the money i need right now, i hope to have the enough by next winter

[My95Z]

Are you planning on spraying that motor?

[devonsZ28]

i have thought about doing a 100 or 150 shot but i havent really looked into it at all because its not really in my budget right now

[My95Z]

Well you'll have a solid foundation with the forged rods and pistons you could even spray a little more than that if you wanted to later down the road.

thats good to know, theres a good chance that next years tax return will go towards a nitrous kit, haha thats sad that i already have plans to spend next years return on car parts, and i just got this years

[devonsZ28]

anybody esle have some imput?

[devonsZ28]

the hotcam numbers iv been seein arnt really satisfying me, so im thinking of going with a LE or cc306 cam what do you think the power difference would be if i went with one of these cams insted of the hotcam

LE 226/230 .565/.565 111 LSA.

cc306 230@ .510/ 244@ .540 112 LSA

bumpag

[devonsZ28]

also if i go with one of those cams will i need to get bigger injectors

[jebcamaro]

I was just about to suggest some new injectors. If, the spray, is in the future, I`d look into getting some 36#ers
