Motor is a 3.8 with a 3.4 steel crank, 2 bolt mains, 8 bolt head pattern. Ported Champions w/ scorpion rockers. Going to use a solid roller so it can rev and use a FAST (or maybe that new Big Time ECU).
Car will weigh around 2200 with me in it. Has a powerglide, strange strut front end, 4 link in the rear.
I'd like around 800hp. I originally ordered a TSM 71.5 GTQ for it but Harry recommended a GTQ 70 (which I ordered) it has the ported shroud. Will be a 4 bolt tangential housing w/ 3.5" DP. Does that seem reasonable to you? I can go up to a 72 in that housing. Harry thought I could go with a tighter convertor with the increased spool this turbo will offer.
The cam. I see all these giant cams you good folks are recommending and Strezo recommended no bigger than a 216º for this motor and my HP goal. Again, this is a solid roller. Does this sound right?
My old GN had a hydraulic 210º billet roller in it and I went 131 with that on 25psi with a 70 (p trim) turbo. This car will have a liquid IC and I'm seriously thinking of a small hit of nitrous to kick it out of the hole. I'd rather get my speed on the short end of the track than try to run it out the back end due to my short wheelbase (90").
I'd really appreciate your thoughts...
