Thanks!

 

Great write up John. Question though: Do you think the LT1 intake was worth it or not?

------------------
89 IROC-Z 350 TPI

-Flowmaster Catback
-Performance Resource Chip
-700R4 (Rebuilt) Too much done to actually list
-K&N Airfilters
-Ported Plenum
-2.77 Gears (not much to brag about but eh, its there)
-MSD 8.5 mm plug wires
-Gutted cat
-!AIR
-Gutted Air Boxes

 

Thanks.
Worth it or not? Well, that's a subjective question and it will get a subective answer. I think it was worth it because I wanted a higher breathing engine. The stock TPI was chocking my 383 to death. A SuperRam would've kept me my low end touque and a MiniRam wouldn't have been easier but both are $1000+. I want to improve my 1/4 mile times and this will do it no problem. Sure I lost a little low end but more then made up for it at the top. besides, I had too much torque anyway.

damn thats a good deal of work. obviously nowhere near a direct bolt on. only if the damn mini ram didnt cost so much.

 

The Miniram does cost too much. E-mail me and I'll work something out with whatever you need.

One question...

Why use a gen 1 350 SBC? Why not use the newer ones so it'll bolt right up? I'm probably being nieve, but I dont know much about blocks and castings and there must be -some- practical purpose to this...

OK, I see your point but a LT1 engine has quite a few things wrong also. It's not a direct bolt-on.
Also, what if you already have a Gen1 SBC in the car and it's built up like mine? Why change a good motor if it runs great?
