Do you live in a place that has emissions? If not, I would at least swap LT's for the shorties on that build list. I'm trying to resist the urge to tell you to get a bigger cam...uh oh, just failed.

yes we do emissions here in DE. And i know about the cam, but the price i have for this rebuild is a very good price and its a cam upgrade that is like the lt4 cam but i think might be a bit bigger. So, its not the lt4 cam, lol

Guesses are from experience. But in the end, they're just guesses.

thats wat i thought, but u guys drive/dyno these motors, asking my s10forum guys that dont deal with the maros and all is a shot in the dark. So u guys are little more educated with these motors, lol

And about the 1/4 mile time?

I'm going to say... WTF?!
"bored 0.30 over to 335cu in."

I'm going to say 305hp. Don't know what all "AL" did to your heads, unless a rework just encompasses a valve and deck job. The only real performance mods are the cam, CAI and duals, which the latter gets taken down a notch with the inclusion of cats. And w/o a tune, you're losing out on a good 10hp. Also, details on the cam are a must, because "similar to an LT4" can be taken 2 ways: 1) It's only around .010" of lift on intake and exhaust or 2) Is about .035" of lift more. Because the LT4 cams lift numbers are factoring in 1.6 rockers where as the stock LT1 cam is based off 1.5s. So if the came is the size of the LT4, it's not really much of an upgrade at all as the duration and IVO, IVC, EVO, EVC are pretty much the same.

And while Electric Fans help... there was no mechanical fan option for any 4th Gen, not to mention since easily 1986

wat i meant by AL, i meant aluminum heads...thats all, lol...And as for the cam, the guy told the guy doing the machine work to do one step up from stock, to give a little tone. So fromt here, i ahve no idea, lol...And i dont know why i mentioned the efan, i am used to a s10 and having a clutch fan and with having a efan, it reduces the engines ''have to do'' list....so sorry, n00b to the camaros still, lol
