Going with new pushrods too and probably a new oil pump.

Thanks

Good Idea.

:Let us know how it goes.

If you can do a before and after dyno runs that would be great to see comparisons.

That would be the plan. I am shooting for 380rwhp with ARH (1 3/4 w/cats) and underdrive pullley. Already have GHL bullets and Vararam. Anything less and I will be disappointed.

Underdrive pulley if you can. That will reduce some rotating weight and up a ponie or two.

Good Luck

I've driven and ridden in Mojo's vette many times and can tell you it is easily driveable. It behaves great and gives a nice shake at idle. Then under WOT it is

I don't have to drive mine everyday so I would not only do it again but go with a T-REX cam next time.

If you have to drive it every day 232-236 is about as big as you want with a M6 with an A4 a little less unless you have a good stall converter. Here is a sound clip of mine

I'd go higher LSA if I had it to do again. 114/115 probably.

The 228/232 was my second choice and is still in consideration

I loved my cam only, don't know exact specs...114 230's under .600. I gained 68 rwhp (430rwhp stock intake and un-touched heads) with my existing bolts ons(ie headers hi flow cats) The cam is the "GeorgeZ"cam at ECS. I'm now heads and cam with more cubes (forged 402) and i like it even more.

I just read through your thread with comments from Charlie at RPM, very impressive. What are the street manners like especially highway cruise in sxith gear?

I am in So.CA as well but was going to have Ryan at CMS do the work. Both CMS and RPM have excellent reputations and CMS is a lot closer to me.
