What size rims do you have? Darren can powder coat 15 and 16 right now.

My wheels right now are spray painted black and they look like shit in person.

Its chipping off the edges.

What springs should i use for a cc 306? Would stock ls1 springs work?

What's the specs on a cc306? I don't think lsx springs work in ltx heads but I'm not positive. Look up Howards springs.

Edit: remember you'll need locks and retainers too.

I posted the Specs of the 306 a few posts up on this page.

You said the lift...

That cam peaks around 6600-6800. Personally, I wouldn't run that with an opti nor a stock bottom end.

[Fox Slaughter]

PSH Opti is good to 120000RPM everyone knows that.
Also if you throw ARP in the bottom end the stock bottom end can spin to the moon!

There are people pushing stock bottoms that far, would most do that? Nope I wouldn't. I will probably spin mine to 6200 this year if I put a cam in.

[9302z28SS]

My bottom end isnt stock

Im bored 30 over. Scat crank and hardend i beam rods

[Fox Slaughter]

Now when you say Scat crank is it forged or cast?
Because if its cast you messed up.
Cast aftermarket cranks are weaker than the stock crank.
Its also not the rods or crank thats weak.
Its the stock rod bolts that stretch under high rpms.

[9302z28SS]

Got arps for the rod bolts. And its forged. If i buy anything like that its forged lol

[Fox Slaughter]

Then spin that thing to the moon.

But once again you don't really need the injectors. If you do run the injectors you will need a tune. Also with the cam you should get a tune. I raced a guy on Woodward who has a CC503 he said and we were neck and neck and he asked me what I had done to my car.

PAC 1218s (.600) or PAC 1518s (.650) you can run.
If you want to spin it that high I recommend 7/16 NSA 1.6 Rockers.
Which means you need guide plates.
7/16" Studs.
Get TFS Chromoly Push rods.

Be good to go.

Ill probably just sell the injectors then. I mean if i tune my car for a cc306 would bigger injectors help with alittle more power?
If theyre tuned in right?

[meissen]

As long as it's tuned, yes I would recommend getting the bigger injectors. When I was doing my cam swap I was told I would need 30# injectors with the cc503... anyone running stock injectors with anything more than an LT4 hotcam is kind of interesting to me as I would think the duty cycles would be way too high.

[QuickTop]

hell keep the injectors and convert to e85 +10% horsepower

[9302z28SS]

E85 doesnt last as long as reg fuel.

Had a ranger that would take it.

But im kinda pissed at the moment.

Swapped a guy for a pair of alpine type R's in a box with a 4k watt amp

Well got back and one r is junk and the amp wont put out sound.

Wtf. The box is custom for a 3rd or 4th gen camaro. And 1 type r is good.

Thinking about calling alpine
