Here's my setup... should I siamese the manifold?
Ok, I am dropping in a 350 tuned port motor as soon as I finish getting everything ready. Heres what I have so far
Ported and polished 416 heads (still haven't finished them)
GM Hotcam 218/ 228 and .495 Lift (if i remember right)
24 lb/hr injectors
ported the plenum
Yes, I will be burning my own eproms. I picked up some stiffer valve springs as well. The rocker studs I am going to pin. Only thing I am missing right now is some dished pistons to lower my compression to where I can run pump gas( heads have 58cc chambers), and a memcal.
Basically, I've done some research on siamesing the manifold, but I can't make up my mind whether or not to siamese it. I've read that on some people's cars, they end up with cylinders running richer/ leaner than other cylinders. I don't really have any tools other than a dremel to work with. So that would take a very long time. It would definitely help it pull for another 300 or 400 rpm from I understand. I just can't make up my mind.
As for the rest of my car, just look at my sig...
School just started this week, so its harder for me to find time with work and everything, but I'll try to post some pics of my heads so far. I need some constructive criticism...
Actually, I would appreciate any comments or suggestions with my setup so far as well.
By the way, I am on a tight budget, so I can't really do a whole lot. Just trying to keep costs down.
