370 lsx carbed
Ported victor jr l92 /ls3 intake
Ported/milled ls3 heads
235*/251* .621"/.631"110lsa. Eps camis should peak at 7200rpm
Flattop pistons 11.25:1 compression
850 proform carb.

What are your guys opinion. Should make around 600fwhp.
Exhaust is going to be 3" duals. With turndorns right behind driver. Short exhaust.

Will these be choking the engine?

Can't find a set of used hawks headers.

buy the 1 7/8" headers at least in long tubes, those shorties will choke the engine.

With a better collector I dont think they would hurt too bad with dual 3" being so short. Lsx can get away with larger headers tho. Think you'd need abit more cam than that to hit 7200 rpm peak but still should make power either way.
