Thumbs up It's official! I've decided on my H/C combo for the Vette.

Decided against the 377ci all bore. Just too expensive... the rest of the car is killing my wallet so I had to compromise. I think it'll be a killer combo that'll really make it fly.

Jim and Tom at Speed Inc. put their heads together and came up with this to optimize torque and get the power in the best range for street/road course driving and give me the 'racecar' sound required for a Grand Sport Corvette replica.

I've ordered the following:

Patriot Stage 2 LS6 (LQ9) heads w/ double springs
Comp custom grind cam @ 228/236 - .588/.602 - 110+2 lsa

Imagine the sweet thunderous music coming from the 3.5" sidepipes...

Might want to check with Aidan as he's selling Big Bore short blocks for ~$2500 which is a real deal.

Better hurry because PSJ is about to boot him...

I'd love to post a sound clip but it'll be a while before the engine will even be run. The car is just a pile of suspension parts on the floor at this point.
