I am building a 400sbc with a 248deg duration .555 in. lift solid roller cam(too big?), 5.7 in. rods, 64cc 2.05/1.60 Dart heads, around 10:1 CR, flattop pistons, and my question is which induction system should i use? Miniram, superram ,or something else?
I will use nitrous and possibly eventually supercharge.
This is all going in an '89 RS auto t-tops.
Also, six speed or auto? I kinda want an auto but i like six speeds also.

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

 

With flat top pistons and those heads, your CR will be more like 11:1. Bad nitrous combo.

12.5cc dish with 64cc heads gives about 10.4:1, which is the combo I am running. If you're going to use nitrous you don't need as much cam, especially not on the intake side; you need a big exhaust lobe. Remember, nitrous is essentiall liquid oxygen, so you're sort of bypassing the restrictions on the intake sode; but you still have to get the spent gases out of the cylinder.

Get Comp to grind you a custom cam, with their XR270 intake lobs and their XR282 exhaust lobe, on 112° LS.

Since you're starting out with a TBI car, you'll have to buy whatever induction you use, from ground zero. The lowest buck way out would be to go with a carb unless you just particularly want FI, and if you do and are willing to spend that kind of money, take a look at the Accel Pro Ram.

What are you going to do to the car to hook all this up to the pavement?

I'm going to use sfc's, probably new trans, carbon fiber driveshaft, new rearend, and just about everything i can use to get traction and keep it somewhat streetable(weekend cruiser). any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
thanks.
