luigi Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Logan, what type of lifters are you gonna run? If your budget allows, go ahead and get the vortecs set up for screw- in studs and guide plates. That'll make your life easier latter on. cam: 225-235 @ .050 and you won't need any more than .510-.520 lift at the valve. I'll try to get the spec for the cam that we have in the engine on the dyno this weekend. Go for at least a Performer RPM (air gaps are taller I think). You can get the Professional Products intake, just be prepared to do some clean up porting on it. The Edelbrocks have a MUCH nicer casting.

surpip Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 That new composite intake form AFR might be something to look into as well I’ve heard good things about it more HP and lighter than Aluminum one, just a suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll look into the screw in studs and guide plates for the Vortec heads. I'm not sure as to what intake to use right now as i would like to be able to close the hood without crushing the airfilter.
