looks great to me.

what intake combo are you going with?

transbird86 · 12-21-2006, 07:07 PM

depending on your intake i would use the 268 xfi p/n 249-12-366-4 at jegs. i have a stealth ram and run that cam it is a great combo

i was going to go with a edelbrock base, as&m runners and ported plenum with 26# injectors and a 58mm throttle body. and everything will be portmatched so it willl alll flow together to create gobs of torque

transbird86: i think that cam is way too big for my tpi intake setup.

- do you think this combo could put me over 300hp at the wheels?

it really isn't that big of a cam, i still passed emissions and make good low end torque, if you decide to get a higher stall converter i would definately get the 268 xfi. and yes you should definately be a little over 300 hp at the wheels with alot more torque.

i was planning on running a 2400 stall with a th350 with 3.42's in the rear until i swap it over to a t56.

what is the redline on your motor? i was plannin on shiftin it at only 5500 cause that is where the tpi drops off so a bigger cam wouldnt be worth it.
