I went to the chevy dealership in Burnaby on Kingsway and plunked down the cash for a fastburn 385 and the HOT cam/1.6rr kit This combo is supposed to make 430hp at the crank, so it ought to propel my 3600lb Camaro into the 12's with the help of some sticky tires.

I guess I'll be yanking my old engine this weekend to make room for the new one which should arrive in ~2 weeks.

 

Congrats

I know a guy who is running one of those in his IROC and it performs very well

 

A friend of mine has one in his oldsmobile and it runs 12.9 - 13.0. Being that my car is 300lbs heavier I figure I should get 13.2 - 13.3 out of it on regular street tires.

 

Did you got to Jim Pattison Chev Olds by any chance?

 

Make sure you do not allow it to overheat.

 

Very Nice Motor!!! Lets race

Andy

 

Hey Erik, can you get me a price on the new GMPP Crate 383 Motor?

Thanks

 

... nothing a little bit of giggle gas cant fix

 

Is that the HT383 P/N 12497317? If so, it's not yet available according to http://www.sallee-chevrolet.com/Crat...rformance.html

Yep. Skip there knocked over $1500 off the purchace price Seems like a good place to go for Chevy stuff.

I dunno about the giggle juice with hypereutectic pistons and all. There are people running a 100 shot successfuly. I've heard horror stories about 150. I'd rather get the heads worked over and throw in a bigger cam than spray. Last time I blew an engine it took me 2 years to get my car back on the road. I don't wanna go through that again.

 

Cool, but doesn't the LT1 get 13.0 @109 mph with just the hotcam kit? Just wondering

 

I was in Dueck the other day and they want 6500.00 for the fast burn 385.

 

I dunno. Could very well be. I suppose I could have converted to an LT1, but that would have cost too much money.

 

Way to go Erik!

 

Very nice!!!

When are you planning to install. Let me know if you need any help.

Grant

 

Skip sold it to me for 6000 plus another 1000 for the hot cam and 1/6rr kit.

List is $7200ish and $1350 ish.
