My build thread To start things off, the cam will be a custom grind by B.R.E., the question is what do you think it is capable of making with the perfect cam in your mind. I am going with what Bret spec's out regardless I just was wondering what the opinion of the ultimate potential of the factory ls7 port is. Heads will have port work on the exhaust side, aftermarket TI valves,& valve job. I am looking at between 11.75 and 12.2 SCR. I am doing this no holds barred other than hydraulic roller and I will occasionally have to drive it on the street. I am letting Bret have free reign to do what he feels he needs to reach what my goals are.
As the title says here is my build thread. I have listed items I already possess and items that I NEED. I know that I could REALLY use a rearend, but I am just talking about just to get the engine in the car and running. The car will be completely gone through and be be built bulletproof. Completely new suspension, built tranny, the works. I just am trying to get it running for the Car-Craft Summer Nationals in St. Paul, MN. on July 20-22. Motor will be broken in and tuned on an engine dyno, will have graphs available when that happens. If you see anything I missed on the need column let me know!!

is this going to be another top secret cam spec build?
(honest question.... not trying to flame at all) good luck on the build...... might I suggest the twin intanks from lonnies performance (racetronix doesnt sell them directly anymore)
