It takes 30 hours....
88 L98 5.7 TPI - It takes about 8 hours to pull the engine, tear it apart and get it to the machine shop. I got mine back 2 days ago. I have about 24 hours in building the engine and installing. This is the second time and it just takes about 30 hours to get it done. TRW flat tops and a mild cam this time. Just right for a blower. (thinking about it) Test drive in the morning. :hurray:

Re: It takes 30 hours.... (autotech)
I would have run the numbers, to be sure, but don't flat tops with a 58cc combustion chambers come out a little high for a blower? And that "mild" cam only serves to aggrivate things. Lower duration, equals higher compression pressures. Good luck, and congrads on the 30 hour part.

Re: It takes 30 hours.... (CFI-EFI)
No, the commpression ratio returns to about 9 1/2:1 because the felpro head gaskets used are a little thicker than stock. There probably is a better suited cam but this one is so mild I dont think it would make muck difference. I used it in case I did or did not decide to install a blower. :thumbs:
