I dont think it will be to terrible getting that thing wrapped up. Here's some of our prices:

Cam $370 on special
pushrods bout $110
Mail Tune From TSP $175
LS7 Lifters $125
Our Y Pipe Is about $130, but it depends on the headers
HC Complete Gasket kit is about $150.

I listed the typical minimum to much better quality is why it looks dramatic.
Really it isnt that bad depending on yoiur choices.

My custom ground Comp cam is always 370, pushrods 125.. $15 isnt a big deal

lifters $125 for ls7 or going up the scale to a better lifter the Morel. Heavy spring pressure and hi rpms, might want the added insurance of the Morel you might not. Personal choice.


Timing chain setup like $89 if that from SDPC

Injectors, pm me for info on them, $215 delivered for 30# SVO's

Gasket set SDPC as well have it shipped in the same box or TSP I suppose , look for the timing set. iirc n-motion at sdpc was the good deal


there are some little things and they add up but overall it isnt to expensive.

Check out Vince at Trifecta for mail order tuning he has a handheld that he sends out to you instead of having your pc sent to him. Very nice solution for those who dont want their car to be down for a few days using the traditional mail order.

Thats around 629 listed right there, figure maybe another 100 for fluids the car fluids for you a sanwich maybe and some bandaids..lol

the y pipe will have to be custom, no one makes one for an 84 with long tubes and 3" collectors. should i go with the green top 42#'s?

and tell me more about this mail order tune, is it just as good as a dyno tune?

Well a load bearing dyno is a great tuning tool. Best bet is to call Vince at Trifecta and let him explain how it works.

30#svo's should be sufficent for a h/c 346
