im plannin on the middle of next month havin them do everything. so their will probably be down time waiting for heads and cam but i dont hav the 3500 till april 15th so i cant really have them do it any sooner. how much you think my stock lt1 longblock is worth? i need a price to sell it for itll be everything but intake and fuel components.

looking for a quick sale or want the most out of it? 800 for the most you can get...5-600 for a quick sale i'd say is reasonable

ok so im still waitin to get the car back from inspection which is pissin me off but i need an opinion here this might be long lol. so originally i was going to use the AI 200cc heads/cam package. then i decided i needed the bigger heads so thought id use the trickflow 215cc heads from AI and hav them port my intake and do a custom cam and thatd be $3500. now recently ive been looking at TEAs 220cc trickflow heads which flow more then the 215s and also cost almost $1000 less then the AI 215s. the 220s have been proven i actually got the exact set up that went 9.60 from brian tooley (the guy at TEA) brian told me 9.80s would be cake, that with a 200 shot ill be goin 9.4-9.5s. do you think that it'd be wrong to have asked AI advice and a few questions and then only ask them to grind a cam and port the intake? should i keep the work all in one place or use both companies to save $1k? if i go with the 220cc heads ill be spendin about 2600 instead of 3500 and possibly getting done in time for the shootout.

hmm...that grand you save could go a long way for other things...tough call though. i'd probably save the grand and use it somewhere else
