Is their a big advantage going trick flow? Rather then porting the stockers?

I don't plan on it being just drag only. I still want to be able to drive it on occasion on the street.

I already have the rear end upgraded and suspension upgraded so that was done. I am just upgraded the bottom end, heads, cam, fuel and transmission

I am going to use a front mount intercooler for the procharger and run meth as well. I am going to start with 15lbs of boost and see what it puts down. I went with a aggressive cam that is 23x/24x.

AI said i could use their 200cc lt1 and made the power i am looking for. It depends on different factors to determine if trick flow heads are a bigger advantage. I could of most likely went with the 200cc lt1 and been fine but choose to go with the trick flow heads.

Sure i do. I figured you might say that as well since you just did your build not too long ago. I have read your thread a couple times as well just to gain some more knowledge.

Mmm. Very nice. Make sure to double check the pulley sizes. Based on what I received from Procharger, I would have overspun the F-1A by 5,000 rpm . Would have been an interesting first dyno pull.

Thanks! That would not have been a good first pull at all. Thanks for the reminder to double check the sizes. I already know i need to get a 4.25 pulley and take off the 4.50 pulley that i originally went with.

I'm sure we could do that once I'm all done. How far are you away?

I have heard great things about AI so I'm sure the heads/cam will be great.

Thanks!! I am hoping it will put down some nice numbers. You're right about the cost. I stopped keeping track how much I spent. I just know it's alot.

Nice supporting cast. Look forward to seeing some numbers in the future. Good to see some hardcore LTx guys keeping the torch lit.
