Default well thanks guys

well i was just looking for some insight and my thread got kicked off the forum which i thought was a good post. i suppose not. so thankyou for the ones who did throw in some advice. Dont worry i WILL HAVE A 500HP N/A LT1 and then i will share how i did it to slap everyone in the face that says it cant be done.

You can easily see how mature people on here are by their asinine posts. I`ve seen quite a few of them on this forum as well as other`s. Shame you can`t come on the net and get real info rather than dealing with little kids.

That is the problem.

You made one crazy post half filled with both comments to make it sound like you knew what you were doing, then BS questions that proved you didnt.

The mods locked the post(for good reason), and then you make a "Haha, you'll see!" post. Take the time to do a little research, find out what you really want, then form your question properly and I'm sure you'll get a lot more help then saying "Look what I'm gonna do!...Just tell me how first!".

im confused.

i told everyone what i had to work with basically.

383 LT1 stock heads, stock intake, minor bolt ons, LT4 cam, snapped crank, hyper.. Pistons, h-beam rods.


I know to break 500hp N/a ill need LTs. with a good flowing exhaust and a 58mm TB and my heads ported and polished and bumped up to atleast 2.02 valves. elect wp and other bolt ons


that right there is the most i really feel comfortable saying im gonna need atleast that. if i am wrong please correct me.

My questions were mainly towards what cam should i run. does anyone honestly think a set of stock heads and hold that and anything else that would help me get to my goal

I dont understand how it was concieved as a crazy post or anything or even why i was blocked so yes it did **** me off a little bit. so i said to hell with it. ill do what i can throw a motor together by calling around and doing research and prove it can be done.


Last time i checked forum pages were for the experienced members who have already broke my goal for them to give me insight and lead me down the correct road to my goal without making the same mistakes we did. or maybe im the only one who sees a forum that way.
