Tabling turbo project
So I think I am going to table my turbo project for awhile. The mastercard is hurting after a present for my wife, dewitts radiator, and a full suspension from VBP, and some other work.
So I am going to simulate something similiar to an LT1 with a hydraulic roller
So here is what I am thinking.
Chevy 350
Speed-pro cast flat top pistons
eagle cast crank
eagle I-beam rods
190cc superflow heads
weiand xcelerator
ramhorns
2.5" exhaust
holley 750 w/4-corner idle
236/248 at .050 with a 114 LSA under .55 with 1.6 ratio rockers
AFR hydra-rev kit
The new LS7 can rev to 7000 rpm with hydraulic rolllers. I would like 6500 rpm.

I am thinking cammotion's lobes
Intake lobe : X-2331
adv dur. : 288
dur at .050 : 233
Lift at lobe : .335
Exhaust lobe : X-2461
Adv Dur : 300
Dur at .050 : 246
lift at lobe : .335
I am thinking something around 114 LSA for that smoother idle
Should be fun

Dont wanna
Already have the hydraulic rollers and the hydra-rev kit.
I need a cam and the rotating assembly and I have an engine.

Given the amount of hi-po factory engines that use them currently I think they will be OK. It has to live maybe 2 years. I expect the life cycle of the LS6, and new LS7 is longer than that.
