370CI Street/Strip Build
I'm currently building a 370 for street/strip. I have some stuff I need to do on the top end but unfortunately the funds won't allow it. Any suggestions on this?
6.0L block
Bored 4.030
H Beam 6.125 Rods
Stock Crank
Mahle Pistons -2cc
.051 Head Gaskets
T-Rex cam
PRC Dual Valve Springs
7.400 Hardened Pushrods
Stock LS6 Heads (milled and smoothed just to be cleaned up and straightened)
LS6 Intake
P&P 78mm Throttle Body
42lbs SVO's
3600 PerformaBuilt converter
4.10 gears.
Car will be ran on a 100-150 shot occasionally
Any suggestions? Smaller cam? More stall? Etc..

Why stock 243s? Are you dead set on the Trex? I'd go with some AFRs or TFS heads and match a cam to those. Then if you have some left over $$ pick up a FAST 90 or 92.
EDIT: I see the "funds won't allow it" statement now... guess that throws the heads and intake out LOL

Right now I just can't afford it. But since I was eventually going with some TEA's down the road and maybe a Victor Jr that this was the cam that sounded about right. But with the current set-up as of now I think that around a mid 23x duration and .60x lift would be about right...

I was looking at the MS3 as well. I don't want to make this another Trex vs MS3 thread but I'd like some opinions on this and both cams seem to make good HP and TQ. I'm not worried a bit about idle I just love the hard lope to one . Anyone else with a 370 gone with a MS3 or T-rex and have any regrets? I plan on better heads and intake but that will have to be later down the road.
