I have a 355 with TRW forged 21cc blower pistons and total seal rings, trickflow heads,and a 144 B+M blower. I will try to pulley the blower for around 6-8psi. The compression ratio is around 8.5.
I am not sure on what cam to get yet, thinking of something with a 2500-6000 rpm range.

What hood do I need to cover up the huffer?
Give me some ideas on a hydralic cam?

go with a quality ring set for one, dont need the sealed rings.

they create A LOT of pressure in the cylinder walls and the extra 5hp they give you can be found elsewhere

 

If you listen to him, youre gonna lose about 40 hp down past the ring gaps into the crankcase as blow-by. Do some reading up on the Total seal gapless rings and ask some people who've actually used them. In fact, E-mail my buddy who drives a 86 Buick GN with Total Seal Gapless rings. He'll tell you how good they are. He can be E-mailed at cl3gnturbo@aol.com.

As far as the cam goes, you dont wanna have too much overlap. What do you plan on using? Roller or flat tappet? Let me know and I'll check into it for you.

Dont use gapless rings? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

BTW 89ProchargedROC... You said that the gapless rings create too much pressure in the cylinder walls? Are you refering to friction? Well guess what? They make a low tension oil ring set to reduce friction losses, but they let a weee bit more oil get past the piston into the chamber. Ummm... the gapless rings dont add anymore friction or "cylinder wall pressure"(isnt that what you called it?) than a standard set of Speed Pro file-to-fit rings. If you think they do, I'd like to see you prove it. Dont flame me like you did in the message board over at CamaroZ28.com. Show me proof, oh god of forced induction!

DF's and IB's... lord help them!

• 83 Z28-- not a pretty site to look at, 200k miles and im sure it was treated like a rental car every day of its sad life(before i got it).. sold, thank the lord
• 74 Z28-- 383/400, green on black. pretty clean. FOR SALE!!!

 

I am going to use the total seal rings. I use them in my 70 camaro with a D-2 with no problems.

I want to use a hydralic flat tappet in my 82. Any sugestions?
