Here's the deal:

I got a 95 gen1 2 bolt 350 block that fits a 1pc seal crank. I got the 383-1-SK stroker kit from PowerHouse (www.enginekits.com). I upgraded to CR3 rods with ARP bolts.

I've decided to use T.P.I. and iron Vortec heads.

This engine must pass the NJ emissions laws.

What cam profile should I use? I want her optimal power to be between 4500-5500 rpm.

What intake manifold should I use?

I've got Edlebrock T.E.S. headers with A.I.R. tubes.

I've got a 3 1/2 inch y-pipe, so I think I might go with a Mac cat-back. Should I do this??

What kind of roller rockers should I use?

What can I do with my suspension?

My IROC currently has a built up 700-R4 with 3.23s in the rear end. She needs to have decent gas mileage so these are a must.

To have this motor get me into the 12s range would be perfect, cuz with a bottle I know 11s isn't far away.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

You said you was to use TPI and Vortec heads. Now why are you asking what intake manifold to use?

Since you must pass a visual smog then I would use a Superram instead of the TPI intake.

If emmisions wasn't a problem I'd say go with a LT1 intake.

 

I know there are a couple of intake manifolds out there that support the vortec heads with tpi, but I don't know which is best.

 

The TPI wont flow enough for your 383. A stock TPI which is what it seems your referring to that is.

 

you're absolutely right, a stock tpi setup is not what i had in mind.

c'mon, someone here must have some experience with this....

 

Found something cool. Check this out........
