I am currently in the process of redoing my top end and adding a cam and a I am seriously considering selling the blower and getting the heads done with the money I get from the blower. The powerdyne is really limited anyway so I'm thinking I could get just as much out of a nice set of ported lt1 heads and a cam to match. Looking for 400+hp. Is this possible? I know there are guys out there getting 390-410 on 6# powerdynes but Im sure they are tweaked out. I would like to try to make the same kind of power without the fear that forced induction brings with broken ringlands and rebuilds and that stuff. Thanks for your opinions.

 

There are lots of guys with heads, and cam making 400 at the wheels

 

I guess what I really want to know are opinions on whether or not you were satisfied with the change. Powerwise, driveability, economy, stuff like that. I really like the feel of boost kicking in but hate the uneasiness of the ticking timebomb that a blower can be. I just don't want to take a step in the wrong direction. So that being said, those of you who are now n/a but were previously blown are you happy with your decision to go n/a or if you had it to do all over again would you stay blown. A forged bottom end is not in my budget and with 80k on the clock I can't help but think heads and a cam would be easier on the car than a tweaked out 6psi blower. I just don't want to lose any power.

 

I can not even explain how much happier I was to go back to a N/A setup

Never worring about broken parts or blown hoses. Never pulling all that plumbing to do simple things like change alternater.

It is up to you think it over carefully

 

Anybody else?
