I will be finishing up my engine in the next few weeks. I still need to order some parts and had a few questions. My goal is to be able to dip into the 11's and keep it close to stock appearing. The current combination is as follows:
stock block
ARP Main Studs
stock crank .010 mains and .020 rods Clevite Bearings
stock rods polished and shotpeened
ARP Rod Bolts
JE Pistons
Total Seal Gapless Second Ring Pack
stock heads (ported/polished/valves)
ARP Head Bolts
Cometic Head Gaskets
Ported Intake
Power Plate
Stock Location Stretch Intercooler
Turbo: I was planning on using a TA-49 but have recently considered the GT 3255 due to the advantages the GT turbos offer over the T series. Is the GT3255 stock appearing and what is everyones feeling on which to use. I have a stock converter now but will be getting a 2800 stall in the near future.
Camshaft: I am trying to decide whether to go with the Lunati 200/200 or go with the 204/214. Also, what springs is everyone using? Where can i get GM lifters?
I was either going to go with 36 or 42# injectors. I am afraid that i will be pushing it with the 36# but i want to use the smallest injector that can support the horsepower.
Any info or opinions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Scott
