hp/tq/ and 1/4 with a 76mm/78mm turbo

[Superman09]

Nice to see you coming over to the dark side Mike! There are a lot of guys running the ls9 cam. If your on a budget it will work great. If your not spend away man. The Huron speed looks really nice, I almost pulled the trigger on one last week. But I just can't have 2 cars under the knife at the moment. It is relly tempting though, that is a great priced kit!

Let me know!

the problem with the ls9 cam - is you need the proper front cover, timing gear, and cam sensor.

Your only saving a few dollars vs a custom cam and good valve springs.

It's still a lot cheaper with the LS9. I've got roughly $900 wrapped up in my valve train

What does it mean when someone says "blew through the converter"? My 3500 tci super street fighter isnt going to hold up with the 3.73s, is it?

it means the convertor can't fully couple with the torque. So it continues you to all the way down the track.

I wouldnt imagine you would want 3.73's on a turbo car anyway.

3.73s arent going anywhere, at least until the rear needs replacing

I'm going to try it and see what happens. I have another complete axle w/3.42's waiting in the wings.

So should i open the top ring gap up like everyone is doing?

how much power do you want to make? I have seen several guys not worry about it, 90% of it is all tuning and what your tuner is comfortable with making on stock stuff.

[c0ncEpT]

I would. You get a good amount of heat in those cylinders and the rings will butt and take out a ringland.

Cheap insurance if your going to have the motor apart. I would resize the rods for ARP rod bolts also.

i wouldnt worry about it mike.. maybe if oyu were planning on 18lbs.. but you should be fine on anything less then 12.. which i wouldnt suggest going over that on a stock bottom end anyway

^ This does make a lot of sense. If your not trying to set the world on fire with stock parts I wouldn't mess with it.

I was hoping to do 12 or 13 lbs. Any idea what kind of hp or 1/4 this will make. Im sure 12 will be plenty for the street. Im not putting a cage in so racing will be minimal
