New 402
Well 16 months ago i blew my motor
, it too a while to save up the cash for a new one but i finally got it back.
I had Don at Slowhawk Performance do all the work, as he has been tuning my car for yrs.
This is what we went with.
VA Speed 402 short block
AFR heads -got great deal on used set from Don
ARH- 1-7/8 x 3" & 3" x 2.5" pipe.
McLeod RST twin disk
A&A fuels sys
Stayed with my A&A S-trim for now as the bank acct is on life support now.
Ended up making 630hp/600tq. only have 7.5psi and run out of boost at 5400rpm
Car runs awesome
i forgot how much i loved driving it.
Don, thanks for the great work! You will be seeing me again for a retune after i save up and get a T-trim installed.

I was very happy on how the car turned out. Drives just like stock. It has a low 230 Cam in it. As for boost,we could of pullied a couple more pounds of boost but it would be at the limit of the blower.Don't really want to push max impeller speed on such a small blower and risk damage when the future will be a bigger blower.
For comparison a similar cammed/V1 blower Z06 made more at peak (6400rpm but was down 100ft/lbs/85hp at 3500rpm compared to this setup.
Throw the correct size blower and it will gain another 200hp. More room to grow.
