What kinda power numbers are you hoping for? I know of one guy that runs Cecil Co. in Maryland with a 69 Camaro, BB, and an f3r setup...it sound absolutely sick. And the ETs are even sicker, it's quick, that's all I can remember.

Resin filled the block?? You mean you don't have any h2o jackets any more? Pure drag car?

On second thought, you dont want something that powerful, so just crate up your engine and we can do a swap. i'll take yours and you take my cammed engine. i say its an even trade off, and hell, i'll even pay for shipping!

Yikes, get that air filter out of there. WAY too small, that F3R will eat it up and it is not pretty when something like that gets injested. Seriously, I have a friend who destroyed his 101mm turbonetics on his street car because it sucked in the stubby little filter he had on it. Get a screen on there ASAP.

In regard to the air filter it is only a dummy up and not the final setup.
This is a street car, but we will be using it for some drag work the idea at the moment is to just have some fun no seroius stuff.
If we get seroius about racing it will be in a GTO body shell

That F3r is total over kill..... and that cog pulley will be wau to much.. way to small... I know because i abuddy of mine on here has a F2 on his car and with it it was making 30+ psi of boost and lifting the heads with the same studs you are using...... he had to DEtune it....... Way over your HP estimates..... and will filling the block how and the hell are you going to keep it cool with street driving it?????? Please tell us..... and with a stock PCM you might run into some trouble even with the 3 bar MAP esp. if you max it out....... with all the $$$ youve spent so far whats a little more???

That thing is insane! If you are looking for a filter there is a listing on K&N's web site that lists all the filters by dimension. Might be worth a try, but you might not find anything that can flow the kind of air you need without collapsing.

We have 3 different pulley sizes, we have already had this unit working on another install 422ci with no problems.
Yes its a street car but get real it aint no daily driver.
Nasty you are a bit negative on some of this but dont knock it just yet you blokes still use MAFS over there dont you.
All I was trying to do was share what I am doing, yes we might have to go to another tuning system but we can cross that bridge latter. From prevoius experience I have learnt that when you push the boundary other issues will need addressing.
In relation to heads lifting been there had that problem hopefully we can fix that issue also.
