Okay, so I'm way too tired right now to go into detail, but I ordered the big power parts from LE yesterday. He said the heads will be done in a week for me!

I'll provide more details tomorrow, for now it's off to bed for me! haha

 

sweet.look forward to hearing about this

 

OK you guys. The overall plans changed ever so slightly from what I was initially going to do.

Right now what Lloyd will be providing me is:
LE2 heads, not LE1
A ported intake
Custom specced cam (Won't reveal the specs until I eventually get everything dynoed :P); To give you an idea of just how small it is, his first 'off the shelf' cam that is a real step up over stock is a 218/224 .544/.544 111 LSA cam. With this cam, he doesn't even mention torque converters/gears because it's really not needed.
He specced me out a cam only a tiny bit bigger: 219/22X .56X/.56X 111LSA
It doesn't leave too much to the imagination, but I don't want to reveal all the specs until I know exactly what it'll do.

Right now, his/my confirmed hp/trq goals for the car are 370/370 rwhp/rwtq, with a stump puller torque curve! :P

 

seems like that HP goal is a little high but if lloyd said so then its gotta be true, haha.

you have the right guy doing work for ya. he's pretty much the man. and a week!?!? he's getting quick at this stuff, haha

 

no thats me

 

Actually, he was very confident about the HP goal. It was the torque he was worried about. When I told him what I wanted, he said it'd be very difficult to reach that number because of the short intake runners. So I slightly changed my build to take a little bit of a hit in the low end torque department (10 or so lbft), and moved it up a little bit. Gonna turn her to about 6100-6200, instead of the originally planned 6000.

Well, I have to be at school on Aug. 20th (frickin' early!) and he totally understood, and pushed my stuff forward. He's a great guy to work with, definitely good at what he does, especially the customer service portion.

I think the biggest issue with the whole build right now, will be getting every single little part together in this really pretty short time frame...under a month to do a complete top end swap, with parts still needing to be shipped. :P (That was my oversight....I hope it doesn't come back to bite me...)

 

if i was you i would get a 94+ intake manifold and fuel rails

 

Any specific reason, Ali? I've been learning the differences between the years, and it doesn't seem like there were any substantial/performance enhancing changes between '93 and '94. Just some design changes in the fuel rails.

Also, for anybody who might know, What are your opinions on proform rockers? I can't decide between them and comp rockers. But I've read a few more horror stories about the proforms than comps.

 

i've heard the bad stories about proform as well. i'm going with comps for my build

 

94+ intakes are setup better for fuel delivery,that is all
