Sounds pretty decent man. Don't forget tune, gauges and other applicable stuff. Looks pretty solid though....should make over 800 pretty easy, might need a touch more boost though.

Yeah it's getting all gauges and a sd tune from Lashway so tune should be spot on.

Hell yeah that's a top notch setup man. I'd put the 3.7 pulley on and let her eat!!

Not sure what pulley they are going to try a few to see what motor likes. Next year I
Might do better heads and a better intake set up
See if I can crack 1k thru auto
To the wheels. But was just wondering what people think of the way I put this set up together if it'll run like a beast or if there's something I've missed.

Not sure how to
Figure out what pulley does what I think crank is the 7.65 pulley
So I would assume 4.0 or 3.7 for 15lbs plus can someone tell me what psi I will
Make with a 3.7 and 3.4 pulley

if i were being critical, id say you have a badass setup first of all.


for your goals however

the level 2 jakes should be turned on up to at least a level 4-5

the 317's although they flow like crazy, do have a thin deck. and with your setup and getting up to 900-1000+ I would just consider a thicker deck some good insurance.

as far as the injectors. i am going with bosch 127lb's from FIC or through lonnie. im going to go ahead and do the fast 102 since its the same price as the 92mm. less restrcition the better. i dont want to deal with all the cutting and banging for the vic jr or the holley. other than that...shed some weight off of it. make a 100lb goal.

Thanks i8 I will go bigger inj. When I can get my aftermarket heads probably next year.
I do plan on having the trans sent back for billet hard parts I think it should live at my power lvl til I can get it back to them.
As for the intake I'm doing the carb intake probably with a elbow and 102 tb most likely when I do the heads for now ls6 should be fine.

My and your engine specs are very similar and im running 3.7 upper 7.65 lower
3.7 will max out the F1a 3.4 will over spin it and why are you going with such low compression Im running 10.7 and have had no problems at all. The only time my car has been on the dyno we were leaking about 2 to 3lbs off boost through my wastegate and only making 16.5 Now we have added co2 to the w/g and we can make around 19 psi so we should be over a 1000rwhp with this combo also I would run a bigger injector Im running 120's. jeff

Id go with an aftermarket head for the thicker deck such as the as cast tfs. And the cam is meh imo. I think you could get more aggressive.

Yeah some TFS235s would be a GOOD addition to that setup and it would be ready for some serious power now and later on if u do go F2. I think I'm gona sell my heads and pick up a set of them myself.

What cam would work better? this is the cam AES recommended for my set up but i had them make it on a 114+4 instead of a 113.
as for heads i do plan on changing them for some AFR heads just didn't have enough money to go fi and everything.

i imagine we went with lower compression, because longevity comes with it. OH snap badss I went 9:6:1! look out! I went with that CR because there will be times when I cannot run e85 and I dont want to risk that "one bad tank of gas" or etc....its just insurance. stngmatr does drive his every day it doesnt rain though. If either of us decide to take it up higher later on that will be easy enough.
