So the Assembly Started! What do you guys think of the rough basics of my build? Well she is almost done, were still waiting on the valve springs though.
So far here is all the information so far:
Comp XE Cam 227/233 112 LSA
Still using my Ported LT4 Heads
Impala .028 Head Gaskets
11.1:1 Pistons (With the LT4 Heads comes out to 10.88:1, with the head gaskets should be around 11.6:1)
LT1 350 Block taken to 355
Heavy Duty Pressure Plate
4.10 Gears
SLP Maf
Double Roller Timing Chain
Stud Kit of course
MSD Opti Brand New (Since it had to be redone completely by MSD... seems flaws were found in early models)
Better Valve Springs
As well as quite a few other little extra's.
Tuning is obviously being redone.
We were looking at girdles but its just not worth it. My plan is to also put in my 2000 LSx ECU, Coils an such along with a new package coming out on LS1 Tech We shall see, but after that I will be installing a Wetshot 100-150 max.
So far total cost is 1020.00. Should be around another 200-300 max he said.
I think we should be looking at nice decent machine for Daily Driving when I want too.
Any guesses welcome, and do you think I have gone too far for wanting to be able to play around at the next LTX Shootout?

Honestly I am shooting for 12's at 3200ft. I really want a fun car for the route 66 cruises. After this is all done I want to go for that targa top conversion and play with the looks department.
