Why did you get rid of it?

grygst76

Because I like SUPER loud and I do not have to go thru emissions so I never bothered to keep it. IMO it sounds awesome but I like the no muffler feel of resonator

I am in need of a cc306 or bigger, anyone have one for sale local??

My84Z

be forwarned get a hydrarev kit!

grygst76

After speaking with a lot of my "LT1" buddies I have come to the conclusion that my choices in cam would put me nowhere close to 400 horses!! I would need the CC306 or equivalent, the Hydrarev kit (thanks MY84Z) and a few other misc things. Now it's amtter of what LSA 112 or 114??

My84Z

112 for n/a if your gonna use an juice i would go with 114.

grygst76

True True the 112 would limit my shot to 100 unless I upped the pressure of the fuel and the 114 should give me the leeway needed for 150+ IF I'm careful. My oil pressure is real good @idle it's around 27-30 psi and cruising at 1500 it's a little above 42psi so swapping to heads and cam will not shoot my bearings to the moon as long as I rev her less then 6000 which I do anyways I mean I hardly get to 5000 ever since she has over 100k I get nervous

My84Z

If i were you save up some money and take some etra time to take the engine out of the car and rebuild the whole thing there are plenty semi cheap rebuild kits for an lt1. have the block tested and cleaned up new crank new seals and a new oil pump then slap the heads and cam on it. save you alot of toruble if your engine goes and takes your heads or cam with it.

grygst76

And what would a rebuild cost compared to buying the shortblock?? you can get a shortblock for around 1500.00??

RealQuick

Gary, my cam and well ported heads will get you close to 400rwhp.

My84Z

there are so many kits and it would depend on what you replace. you could have the block machined and the crank oil pump for maybe 500 or less. while using your pistons. or you can just do it all. there are plenty lt1 kits start searching and take time till u find what fits you best.

grygst76

the rebuild will be soon enough but for now I can only afford the install of the heads/cam..I'm the kind of person who thinks if your driving a car that looks fast it better be fast and 500-800 is all I can spend and just a rebuild kit alone for the LT1 is close to 400.00 then you need to include the block work, bearing installs, magnafluxing, e.t.c you start looking at more then the purchase of a complete shortblock or around the same. I have plans for a complete new motor next year which will be an LS6 so for now I will melt the one I have.

well i have seen a few people are close to my location, the nearest being clinton and uxbridge. why dont we plan a get together and watch a football game and do a little drag racing in between the half and the quarters. im sure some one lives in a secluded area where there is a strait a way we can play at....the catch is you race what ya bring so dont bring your grandmothers lark or your scotters. get it settled like real men bring your rides and we will see who is the last z standing......then you can have all the bragging rights in the new england f body club........anyone for a football game......or if you wish we can sit around the camp fire and cook marshmellows all during the game..lol lol

and gee maybe grygst can bring his car and we all can play with him on the install.......camaros stick together need help with the install grygst send me a email

this thread was all in good humor by no means am i impling that my z is the fastest in new england. but im up for a good football game,,,some lt1 hands on workshop and smellin some burnin rubber oh cant forget the marshmellows to,,,,you guys have a great day
