Swap I want good low end. I'll be running 513 gears. I wanna be able to burn the tires of like no tom. But also wanna hope in an drive 500 miles with out thinking about it. Plus it sounding like it has a cam wouldn't hurt either
Brian tooley I called , an had steered me in the right direction so I am def gonna use him this time.

Lq4 build Do you have a parts list or a parts invoice.I'm doing a lq4 build myself I'm wondering what power numbers can I get to the wheel with a light cam heads and a fast intake it's going in a 86 mcss
Thats a pretty tight budget, but i did a 408 with a forged bottom end and a relatively stock LS3 top end, and made 440whp on a stingy mustang dyno through a t56. The tuner said its close to being a 10 second car just needs a set of gears. I think i put about 4k-5k into the motor. I daily drive the car and its really pretty streetable. Best mpg so far around town is 17.2, if your worried about that at all.
