i currently drive an 86' IROC. its all stock 305TPI. but i am soon to have my 4-banger for good gass milleage to get me to school. i am wanting to make my camaro a better street ride. here is my idea. they made this engine combo in the August chevy high performace magazine on page 70. its a 355 with vortec iron heads and dished pistons. RPM airgap intake, .300 and .400 valve lifts. comp Xtreme energy XE268 flat tappet hydraulic cam. 224/230 degrees duration @ .050 tappet lift. 110 degree lobe seperation angle. intake and exhaust lifts of .477/.480. it was fed by a 750 cfm barry grant w/ mechanical secondaries.

does this sound like a pretty good combo.. i am still in college and am on a but of a budget. is there any places i could save money and keep performance. are there anything you guys would change ??? remember its to move my 86 IROC. thanks for the help. ryan

Moving, Thanks.

 

Go with the XE274 cam, the XE268 is kind of small, especially if you have another car to be driving around. I have 10.06:1 compression, ported vortec heads, a super victor intake and the XE274 cam and my best on radial t/a street tires without traction is 12.68@108.93 (2.0 60 foot, bleh).

 

sounds like a nice ride, although not of major concern, how many MPG do you get ? also, and idea on horsepower of tourque ratings on your car

thanks
