MPayne,

How did you figure that he was selling something here?

Or did you not need an excuse to make more worthless and half-witted posts on this board?

That wat the sport is all about I have had my camaro for 11 years now and am looking to do something different and since I had to redo the transmisson I pulled the tired engine as well.  I am starting to gather the parts for the combo I am putting together and would like nothing more than get the details from a combo which has worked out.

The engine started life as a 350 4 bolt block bored .030 over. I used a cast gm crank turned 10/10, and gm pm rods 5.7. The pistons are speed pro forged 4 eyebrow flat tops, very affordable. I wanted to try an aluminum head on this engine so I went with trick flows 195cc street head with the 72 cc chamber. That would keep the compression in check for the turbo. The cam is a comp turbo grind, i will get the part number, but it is roughly .218 at .050 and 270 advertised. It a wide lobe seperation so there is not alot of overlap and therefore a very smooth idle. it is a hydraulic flat tappet which saves some coin opposed to a roller. I ordered a header for the drivers side from headman and then built a pass side manifold to mount the turbo and recieve the crossover, beacause you have to gang all of the cylinders together, to power the turbo. I had a garrett gt 4067 turbo from another build so I put it on and plumbed the single 3 1/2 exhaust out the drivers side, just in front of the rear tire. I found a treadstone intercooler on e-bay for cheap, so I mounted and plumbed that up. The carb was the best decision of the build. I went with pro-systems and it was the best move I made. When I put the car on mike dez's dyno it was 11.8 afr and was as flat as a fuel injection curve from 2500-5500. He said shut the hood and lock it its perfect. I forget to include the intake manifold. I knew hood clearance would be an issue so I used the old edelbroch torker 2 which is a single plane low rise intake. I works great. Its a pretty small port but it keeps the driveability there. The results have been awesome. 19 inches of vacuum at 800 rpm great driveability, tons of power 570 rwtq 500 rwhp. With the turbonetics boost controller I have you can fluctuate boost between 5 and 18 pounds to fit all of your needs. pump gas race gas you can literally adjust the boost with the turn of the knob, and keep it safe. I am sure I am leaving alot out but that is the basic build.

A 4-bolt block! You wimp-ass! I thought all of your parts were supposed to be cheap pieces of junk on the brink of destruction.

I say you made a fine choice for the cylinder heads though.

I know its a big money stock 4-bolt, but it was kickin around so thought I would use it. I like the cyl heads too. They have worked flawlessly
