Thanks it was built and tuned by me.....Im still learning I don't think that ever stops!
Yes SLIC = 1 1/2 stock location intercooler
Prior to this roller cam I had a Reed 223/223 .504/.504 it was a straight pattern hydraulic flat tappet cam...it sounded freaking awesome! a lot of people swore it was a small block chevy...it had a very lopy idle and it made real good power. I never really got to make any good passes with that cam but I did have it on a dyno ( MD dyno )for some tuning. It made 430hp and 475tq @19psi and we never ran it over that since at the time my bottom end was stock. I had heard stories of stock bottom ends being done at 500FWHP.....
I did my calculations and figured if it was at 430rwhp then I was real close or at 500 at the flywheel so we stopped....
The next day it spun a bearing!
I pulled the engine apart and found it stretched a rod bolt.
I rebuilt the engine and the fresh build ate the cam during the break in period.......
rebuilt the engine again and the trans went.......I then went through many transmissions until I ended up swapping the case and it was good.....Got the car painted.....two weeks later the car got totaled.
I bought another car with no drive train...I bought my salvage back and swapped over the power train...several weeks after I swapped everything over it wiped a cam lobe.
I finally said Fu*k it and saved up for a roller which I have now.
With this engine build its basically the same engine just added the girdle and studs and changed the cam.....
I noticed a smoother power band and much harder pull up top over the flat tappet cam.
Sorry about the long rambling......I just started typing and couldn't stop lol!
Needless to say I have been to hell an back with Turbo Regals......oh and my first GN was all stock and lost it in a bad crash........both wrecks were complete destruction of the cars and due to people crossing line / falling asleep at the wheel.
