And faster we shall go..

[Super73]

Well I got a phone call from a friend of mine with some bad news. I tuned his F-body a while ago which had a stock motor in it with a rear mount 60mil turbo. We tuned it for 5lbs of boost and it made a decent 430rwhp. Well, the turbo had an issue and next thing you know, he bought a 70mil. After installing it, he did not turn down the boost controller and it went to 15lbs. The motor said He was looking to buy my shortblock out of my Camaro which is biult to spin to 8,200rpm and handle 30lbs of boost. Struck a deal.

Left with no motor for the Camaro, I decided the truck motor would go great in it for a while and would have no problem holding about 10lbs of boost with the larger chamber AFR heads. This will give me plenty of seat time in it at a lower power level once the project actually moves. This now leaves me with no motor for my truck (well, not really, but I'm trying to convince myself of that).

So today I ordered up a new shortblock. A nice little alum 418 LS3 that will be set up to handle a 400-500hp hit of N20. I'm thinking stepping up 70ci should get me in the 10's fairly comfortably since I knew there was still a couple tenths on the table with my current 347. Will run it that way for a while, get it working well then step up to some spray.

I'm excited
