Track results...stock heads/cam T76
When you get the money, what kind of heads are you going to go with? I have my LE2 just about sold and thinking of getting trickflows unported for the time being with a small cam from bret. I'll also be running realquick's parts.
What do you define as a small cam? I contacted Bret for a custom turbo cam for my setup and gave him all my data. He acted kind of smug in his reply and said "I don't do cam quotes for free". I immediately replied that I understood that and would pay him for the quote. He said he'd do it later. I haven't heard one peep from him since. I had already contacted Cam Motions for a turbo cam quote and paid them the $25 fee and I promptly got the cam specs. I had heard great things about Brets cams and I wanted to see how they differed since EngineerMike indicated he was not that impressed with CamMotions turbo recommendations. Maybe Bret's just real busy...

If you are choosing just an off the shelf cam since Bret wont get back to ya, I would get the cam motion. I am sure its no worse then you just getting an off the shelf one. Engineermike will be the first to tell you that in turbo setups, cam specs tend to play a minor roll in making power (unlike with N/A or S/C). The cam is more for operating range and driveability.

He would rather you be ready to buy and buy then, then spend his time spec'ing out a cam for anyone, which I completely understand.
It'd be like someone paying me to do a motorswap for them, knowing they aren't going to ever have the car run...it just wouldn't be worth it.

How much RWHP do you think its making? I am considering doing a setup just like this now except with b body heads (iron) and a b body cam (dont know what that will do for me, but its all I have besides a hotcam).
Realisticly.... I would bet ~420rwhp. I believe Justin was running 117mph N/A with ~ 370-380rwhp. I'll let him chime in.



, he was probably just busy or something, he's really helpful
