Default 85 TPI mild build for street driving

What would be the way to go for a 85 TPI? I have a vortec TPI intake. That's it should i go with the vortec heads and go from there or go with something else? Would like more hp than the 230ish I have. Budget $15,000.

Same answer/combo people gave you years ago on Smokinvette (and elsewhere) that you did nothing with. Why don't you go back and re-read those responses from that timeframe. Search your other, banned usernames to find the threads. Good luck!

Hey Friz long time no see.

This guy is another of those trolls that come and go. It could be Crocamonga or it could be one of the other ones. Who ever he is, he surely loves to wonder about the ***** a lot. Based on the daily news being a democrat rooster-lollipop is socially acceptable these days.

He has been creating the same 10 year old threads, he may as well be a nOOb troll or just an idiot without an imagination.

Thanks buddy, you have made up my mind. I am staying stock and investing in polish and cleaning supplies. Hope to win the spot n shine trophy.

Might even go a little crazy chrome parts.

He has! Many times. He just keeps a-comin' back w/new usernames. He basically killed the C4 section of Smokinvette forums. Pretty much every knowledgeable poster left that forum (myself included) b/c of him. He was run off C4guru as "Nelson84". His posts now, are nearly identical to those he made 5 years ago. Sucks.

You should spend that $15,000.00 on some medication.

I hate to be critical of anybody and I don't judge people. There is a higher power that we will all be judged by one day. But this "12" guy seems to make my skin crawl especially after the comment about old men with baggy pants that drive C-4's. I joined this forum because I am new to the Vette world and want to learn as much as I can. 99% of the people on this forum are good people and have been very helpful and informative especially since I am a "newbie" and was welcomed with open arms. I can only say that you guys on here that help and advise, I want to let you know I appreciate you. But for "12" (assuming that is your IQ), if you have nothing nice to say, please keep your comments to yourself so others may help and learn.
Thanks for allowing me to spout off guys and gals!!!

Tommy, sorry bud, but your wasting your time trying to convert a person like this.. These people spend much of their life jumping from one forum to another just causing problems and stirring up trouble. They never help anyone, and causing trouble seems to be the only thing they know how to do...He will be banned soon, then he will move to another site until he's banned from there..I put people like this in the same league as those that create computer viruses, they would rather make things hard for people, then to help people..You have to wonder what goes on in their mind that makes them so destructive... What a waste of a life.... ....WW
