  • Low 12s on a 110 lsa cam is not going to respond to boost well...

    • Yeah I was thinking maybe you could throw in a used boost friendly cam and a head gasket swap would buy you some time on that engine but your compression is likely way too high for that to do much good

      • I just know this short block is going to become an expensive paper weight once I build the other one. Lt1s don't go for crap.

                    You are the only one to express any interest in it so far for us, haha. I thought the interest would be MUCH larger!

                      • The time has came folks. I watched the car roll away for the last time this morning. It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot along the way. Thank you all for your help, support and love along the way.

                        • Either way you look at it theres a bright side to this story. Considering the condition you bought it in, you saved that car from an impending doom. Another Z shall live on instead of going to the scrapper.

                            I never really thought about it that way Joel. Well said
