I am making a semi-budget build up on my first LS1, my goal is for 420-450rwhp in my 88 rx7. Semi-budget meaning if its really worth it I will cough up the money.

If I go with this kit, LT's, full 3" x-pipe exhaust, ls6 intake/throttle body, and 42# injectors will I be in my desired power range? Will I need a ported oil pump? and should I look at the fast 90/90? remember that I'm trying to keep the cost way down.
Looking for feedback before I make any decisions, especially from people that have this kit.

Thanks

 

You mean this?

Good product, and great for those on a budget.
It will be hard to get 450 with this setup but over 400 shouldn't be a problem.

 

geez sorry about that. thanks for the heads up on the link:
heres what I meant

If I go with the fast 90/90 where would I sit?

 

Stock rockers are fine (assuming you have stockers).
Save that cash for something else.

If you're on a budget, check these head options out.

Wow is that price including rockers as well?

 

Take a look at our 243 CNC ported castings. We can do a set of these heads with cam, Harland Sharp Non-adjustable rockers, New MLS GM head gaskets, NEW OEM head bolts and shipping for as little as $1800.00 shipped to you.

These will be our 243 CNC ported castings be assembled with OEM 2.00"/1.55" (non sodium) valves, OEM guides and our Patriot Gold .650" spring kit. Thi will come with your choice of our 226/226 or 232/230 camshaft and choice of 1.7 or 1.8 Harland Sharp roller rockers. The flow at .200" will be in the 145-150 range, at .400" 249-255 range, and at .600" 299-302 range.

We do have other options available. Please give us a call if you have any questions.

 

Those texas speed heads look like a great deal. 850 for a pair/assembled. This H/C decision is always tricky with so many deals, with 850 in the heads that leaves me lots of room for a good cam, and I like that. But there is so much valvetrain included with the Patriot deal and a cam. Does the stock valve train need to be upgraded that badly or can I make it work with the Texas speed heads? What cam would work best in the Texas speed heads? the car wont be a daily driver so I'm willing to get a little crazy
Right now I dont have stocker anything other than a block, crank, pistons and covers.
Thanks for the help. keep it coming

 

If you are talking about price....most cams run about the same. 250-450 range.

 

We can do a set of the 243 castings assembled with oem valves and LS6 springs for $865.00 per pair, assembled. We will include at no extra charge New MLS GM head gaskets and OEM head bolts !!

 

Can you give me flow numbers on those gunnar? and how much extra to just have the springs upgraded?

 

what would be the best head to get for my stock bottom end and bore size ls1 with my TSP 233-239 cam lifts 603 thanks

 

Here are some flow numbers on a set of these heads. Heads were flowed on our Superflow 1020, 3.905" Bore, using a clay radius, and pipe:

.100" 75 / 62
.200" 154 / 121
.300" 215 / 165
.400" 254 / 200
.500" 285 / 217
.550" 292 / 221
.600" 301 / 226

We can do a set with 2.00"/1.55" valves and our Patriot Gold springs with shipping, MLS head gaskets and bolts for $1125.00.

 

As far as the 243 castings go, we can do the set with the 2.00"/1.55" to help give you the most PTV clearance, use our Patriot Gold springs with ti retainers, super 7 locks, viton seals, with shipping, GM MLS head gaskets, and OEM head bolts, the total would be $1,125.00.
