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

 

well the car is finally done gettin inspected it failed but the guy past it. so im gettin it right after work and im goin to remove the interior tonight all but the dash start to get it ready for the cage install. that made my day lol 2 more yrs of street legal driving lol

 

nice! must have been a pretty nice guy

 

ive been a friends with his son since we were 8. we played baseball together so he said if we put a cat on he'll pass it so now i can get to work finally and the motor should be done soon

 

that's great to hear man...sounds like you got a good chance of being ready for the shootout!

 

well im tryin 900 dollars saved on heads will help a bunch so we'll see cuz it wont leave me much time to test and tune but idk if i care i just want to go

 

Well I got att the interior out tonight except the dash. Ill post pics tomorrow.
