engine is built and ready to drop in, also long tube headers and x-pipe from a major header company that is using my car for their header test fitment. also this engine will make 550+ hp, most of the vette guys with a manual trans and a 415/416ci engine combo simular to mine make around 500hp to the wheels!

add to that 100-150 shot of spray and it should run some very good times at the track

i thought about going with the 4.1" crank but im probly going to spray this engine so the 4.0" crank was a better choice for this combo.

Weird; yeah, if you Google for that part number, it's less than seven grand from several places.

Unless you're a professional car builder, I'd say good luck getting a complete supercharger installed in less than a day.

I'd say one VERY long day at the very least.

Why not just take them off your Camaro when it arrives?

So order some other pan/pickup and swap them.

I guess it all depends on which happens first -- you get the car, or the parts you need show up in the catalog.

Jay, here are my numbers for ya...




Car made 491 rwhp and 459 rwtq.
Uncorrected numbers were 507/474

We seem to have hit the power limit of the stock MAF and lid. This time around on the dyno I did have my cats back on. I'm really looking forward to the TSP 100mm lid and MAF, as well as the FAST 102mm TB and intake. Some real good power to be found in the intake.
