I just bought a 1996 camaro z28, and i have to rebuild the engine im not sure if it's smarter to go with 383 stroker kit rebuild or just keep the headers i have and get a nice cam and some exhaust? i need help from a professional LT1 guy i want to be able to beat most mustangs!!!

Thanks.

 

easy way would be to go with lloyd elliotts heads and intake job with one of his cams, i think i seen a set of le2 heads in the classified section. whats your buget. to do a stroker right your lookin at 3k + to do the block.

 

But if it's built right.....he WILL beat up on a lot of mustangs .....and he'll spend a bit more than $3K, too!

How much would lloyd elliot cam,headers and intake job run me and how much hp can i produce.also i have a budget of 4000 at the moment

 

check the site, elliottsportworks.com i got le2 heads, biggest emmissions cam and intake done for 2k including shipping. not sure if his prices went up or not. you would want to use 1.6 roller rockers and hardened pushrods. lloyd is really good at helping out with setup. the cost of headers varies with brands. kooks has one of the best for clearance and performance. my kooks are no lower than stock exhaust. they are very expensive. there are some good headers out there now that are very good and priced good. pasesetters are not what they used to be but work ok. is the 4k including the block rebuild? with what i have in mine i figure im in the 400hp range to the wheels. probly a little less.

 

98% of your power will come from the cylinder heads and cam so invest your money there. There's not much point in building a 383 if you can't put a good set of heads on it.

 

the 4k is wat i want to put inside my engine, im gonna rebuild it but im gonna get it boarded .30 over and invest in heads,cam,intake sounds like a good idea im not in need of really over 400hp...at the moment the car has headers and true catback and hauls *** so close to 400hp to wheels is good by me.

 

ok everyone thanks for your help i have decided to go with le2 lloyd elliot heads/cam kit with the intake and .30 bore the block and go ahead with a forged Rebuild, also rebuild kit im thinking of getting is online from summitraceing.com

Thank you much!
